The word "Diwali " comes from the Sanskrit word"deepavali", which means "rows of lighted lamps". Households across India celebrate by decorating their space with small lamps called diyas and other colourful lighting.

Diwali, the festival of lights, marks the time when millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world celebrate the triumph of good over evil with beautiful rituals such as festive lights, fireworks, sweet delicacies and family gathering. The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika.

■ Observances: Diya and lighting, home decoration, shopping, fireworks,, puja (prayers), gifts, feast, and sweets.

■ What is the story behind Diwali?
In one of the main stories in Hindu mythology, Diwali is the day Lord Rama, his wife Sita Devi and brother Lakshmana return to their homeland after 14 years in exile. The villagers lit a path for Rama, who had defeated the demon king Ravana. Reenactments of this story are part of celebrations in some region.

Another Diwali story in Hind mythology is that Diwali marks the day
Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura and freed the people of his kingdom. After he slayed the demon, Lord Krishna declared it a day of festivities. In some parts of India, people burn effigies of the demon king in both stories as part of the celebration.

People also celebrate the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi during Diwali. As the goddess of prosperity, wealth and fertility, the romantic Diwali story says that she chose Lord Vishnu, one of Hinduism most important deities, to be her husband on the night of Diwali.

In other cultures, Diwali coincides with harvest and new year
celebrations. No matter which Diwali story you celebrate, itis always a day of new beginnings and light over darkness.

: Act and React | The Rise of Stupidity

I started wondering about how God feels about our individual and collective stupidity. Does he slap His Celestial forehead in disbelief, or does being omniscient diminish the surprise?

Thursday, 15th August 2024 INDEPENDENCE DAY OF INDIA

As we move forward with freedom, we should keep in mind freedom is harder to protect than to earn. Freedom was earned in the hardest way possible but let’s not forget to fight to protect it too.

Let’s make a strong decision, to value our nation and never forget the sacrifices from those who gave us freedom. Happy Independence Day!

■ India secured its independence on 15 August 1947, which ended about 200 years of oppressive foreign rule. It is a day to remember the countless sacrifices done by thousands of men and women who strived to attain freedom for our country.

■ Independence coincided with the partition of India, in which British India was divided along religious lines into the Dominions of India and Pakistan; the partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties, and the displacement of nearly 15 million people due to religious violence.

Narendra Modi claims a 3rd term in India but his party suffers BIGGEST losses.

The Lok Sabha 2024 results threw up many big losers and winners from BJP.

BJP heavyweights Smriti Irani, Arjun Munda, Ajay Mishra Teni and Kailash Chaudhary were among the 13 Union ministers who tasted defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, as stunning losses in three Hindi heartland states forced the BJP to rely on allies to form the government.😉 Narendra Modi Amit Shah PMO India

: Act and React | Peoples' Rule 👑

"We are citizens, not subject. We have the right to criticize the government and our public institutions without fear of prosecution."

I think too many of us have forgotten we are citizens, not subjects.
Too many politicians have forgotten their role as People's Representative, not rulers.

Leaders, who represent the people, While leadership has a responsibility to give us guidance, resources and to ensure that public administration is conducted impartially and neutrally., leaders still have the responsibility of doing so under the guidelines of our Constitution. They have taken an oath to do so.

We, as citizens, have the right and responsibility to demand our rights and to ignore mandates that subjugate or restrict those rights. That’s what citizens do. Subjects do as they’re told and have no recourse.

We all have a responsibility to act responsibly for the safety of our fellow citizens.

These changes would go far – but certainly not all the way – toward ensuring that future citizens under future administrations can continue to be able to question and criticize their government without fear of being publicly humiliated and prosecuted by their government.

We all need to start acting like citizens, not subjects.
We don't have to be great to start, but we have to start to be great.

We the people who make things happen.
Democracy, however, is about far more than just voting, and there are numerous other ways of engaging with politics and government The effective functioning of democracy, in fact, depends on ordinary people using these other means as much as possible. If people only vote once every 4 or 5 years – or do not vote at all – and if they do nothing else in the interim, then government really cannot be said to be "by the people". It is hard to say that such a system is a democracy.

Make your opinions known – either to your representatives in parliament, or to the media, or to groups working on particular issues. Without feedback from "the people", leaders can only lead according to their own will and priorities.

Where decisions appear to be undemocratic, or against human rights, or even when you just feel strongly about them, make efforts to get your voice heard, so that the policies may be reconsidered. The most effective way of doing this is probably by joining with other people so that your voice is louder.

Vote, when the possibility arises. If people do not vote, then members are effectively unaccountable.
