1. There have been a lot of controversies about each Hindu festivals. These were observed without much objection in the past. But the situation is different. For reasons of severe race for political recognition either the individuals or the political forum has jumped in to this river to make the water muddy and the shore slippery. The orthodox people in Hindu community has been cherishing that if the God can be pleased by their offerings in kind and by mantras the undesireable animosity can be eliminated by God himself. In this endeavour these men mutter varioua manthras and slogas. Most of them never support any kind of violence or animal sacrifices as they have a natural aversion for blood. But the time has changed and at no place the God appeared for the rescue of the human beings.
   Even in Ramayana, the powerful Rishis had to seek the help of Rama and Laxman to drive away the demons who were spoiling the yagnya. It is an authentic proof that merely observing certain formalities the Hindus cannot save their tradition. They must change the concept and try to retaliate the offences created by the enemies. Deepavali is one important festival of India and this is observed by Hindus with joy and sport. Well, I am not against any celebration making people happy. But I am a bit confused the basic purpose behind this festival. In South, a demon Narahaswara is killed by Lord Krishna where as in Northern States they have different stories to say. So South brings a slightly sad story, as Narakaswar was also a devotee of Krishna, and North calls for happiness.
