[Rajaraja Chola]

I have stopped being on diet for the past 2 days.... Effing deepavali

 

[raptor22]

Festival of light, but festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.
Diwali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nice, Thanks ... we have the same festival over here in Iran but not now it's held in the last night of fall (Solstice winter, longest night of the year) and is called "Chelle" or Yalda night ... In this day days would start lengthening which means victory of light over darkness.

Yaldā

lol....you were talking about firecrackers and now, when you ran out of arguments you bring in human sacrifice....
Like all other religions, there were many evil practices in Hinduism but we've evolved, according to our constitution we regard those practices as evil/unlawful now....
Blind followers of the faith still engage in such illegal activities but they're booked and punished under the Indian Penal Code unlike in Pakistan, where medieval/barbaric religious practices are regarded as the 'Law of the Land' like killing for so called 'blasphemy' etc.
All the religions of the world has evolved except Islam, it is still as savage, barbaric, nefarious, illogical as it used to be during the medieval periods.....


Due to your religious upbringing which has closed your mind, you're unable to grasp the concept that, the psychological benefits you get(like relieving your mental stress, rejuvenating) by submitting yourself to your god, we get the same benefits by submitting ourselves to our god.......
When we're burning firecrackers, we're celebrating the defeat of evil and in a way, submitting ourselves to the will of our god which gives us mental peace, relieves our stress and rejuvenates us.....


LMAO, that is your argument?.....walking keeps people healthy, so performing Hajj keeps people healthy...
I can say, the tradition of burning firecrackers keeps me healthy because I walk to the shop to buy firecrackers...

On a serious note, burning firecrackers has both negative and positive sides......
If you're thinking about pollution, NO, that's not the main drawback because, compared to emission from cars and factories which happen throughout the year, the emission from firecrackers is insignificant.......
The main drawback used to be sound pollution, but, with the introduction of strict laws limiting the sound level below a certain limit(firecrackers emitting sound above the limit is banned), the menace of sound population has been tackled to a huge extent....
Regarding the positive side, it has been found that, burning firecrackers, especially the once that make sound kills insect like mosquitoes and keeps their population in check......

Then Stay living in Darkness
