When the BJP Mohila Morcha members tied the rakhi on the wrists of the BSF personnel, it was an emotional and exhilarating moment for the jawans as well as for the women wing , the jawans, who promised to protect them at all times.
The jawans thanked their ‘sisters’ for the thoughtful gesture. On Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a rakhi the sacred thread on her brother’s wrist. This symbolizes the sister’s love and prayers for her brother’s well-being, and the brother’s lifelong vow to protect her.
The festival is also celebrated by many communities as a secular festival. This secular aspect is observed among all people, irrespective of their religion. In West Bengal and Punjab, various fairs are held to mark the occasion.
The festival is also an occasion to celebrate brother-sister like family ties between cousins or distant family members, sometimes between biologically unrelated men and women. To many, the festival transcends biological family, brings together men and women across religions, diverse ethnic groups and ritually emphasizes harmony and love.-By Our Reporter
