My Views For Diwali !

Diwali - a festival of lights. Every Hindu who lives anywhere in the world, enjoys it too much. People like me hang around for this Festival for an entire year. We enjoy this festival too much, clean our habitations, our surroundings, and meet our friends, neighbors and even enemies. It is the festival which unites us with our people, but in this article I want to share something which is hurting me for a long time. I want to share those things which I do not like these days, things which people reveal or share when any Hindu festival arrive, due to an agenda.

For the last few days, I am watching news/ads/reports on internet, newspapers and television which are screaming that don’t burn crackers, they will harm our nature our climate etc. etc. and they also give unnecessary and wrong data that Diwali festival causes maximum pollution than any other Festival in the world. They say carbon dioxide emission is increased by this festival and it must not be celebrated by Indians. They say Mother Nature is disturbed by this festival and Indian people cause a huge amount of pollution and they should not celebrate this festival by any means.

Why those so called “Nature-Lovers” don’t protest during any Muslim festival when a number of innocent cattle and animals are slaughtered? Why they don’t protest against those nations who burn a huge number of fireworks at New Year eve, why they don’t say anything at that time? But before any Hindu festival they start protesting, waterless Holi, Rakhi less Rakhi, cracker less Diwali etc.

These so called lovers don’t protest when a number of people buy cars, and emit huge amounts of greenhouse gases and CFC's. They don’t realize that a car emits more CFC's in a year than a festival, where people burn crackers only for four hours at maximum. If these people love nature, so much, why they don’t stop purchasing cars.

I respect nature, so much, but I don’t think a festival could harm our nature, this much. I believe in philosophies that if you do something against nature, try to return in bigger amount. Plant more trees so that greenhouse gases could be limited. Stop setting an agenda against Hindu festival, we love our nature more than foreign countries, we worship it and we realize that no one has any right to spoil it. We treat nature as our mother, from our heart not for an agenda.
Anyway, I am going to celebrate Diwali to the fullest and I will plant trees on the next day too, I suggest you to celebrate it the way you want. May this Diwali bring you a lot of happiness and prosperity!
