Holi is supposed to be a festival of colors. But in today's time it is becoming a festival of drunkeness and crime. The mythological significance of holi is the victory of good over evil but today's significance is victory of crime over law that is supposed to protect us. People get drunk and injured in fights,women get raped,this is the new face of the festival which is colorful in new ways with the color of blood on it.The cultural significance of the holi is to bind the society and it is said that enemies turn into friends on this day but not now as we see fights erupting between drunken groups which turns them into enemies not friends. Someone rightly named this age as "Kalyug" the time when truth will hold nothing and evil will prevail. All these things become a news for others, who did not suffer it, to read. But what about those who suffer from the evil of these festivals that were supposed to bring good in their lives. For them these festivals will always remind them of the suffering.For them these festivals no longer hold the significance of good. For them these are painful as they suffered the unwanted and nothing can change it.
I just wanted to state that the message that these festivals carry are now changing
with the change of time.I will end it with just one question.Is there a solution to it?
