Dashai ko Tika - Excitement All Around

As October has already begun, the fever of dashai or dushera has begun with people starting to clean their houses, buy new clothes and then on the day of dakshmi, which we commonly call Tika, we apply tika or tilak made up of rice grains and colour known as chamal ko tika.

      I suppose all my Nepali and gorkhali friends are very excited about dashai which is very near. Mirik Bazar ma pani dherai bhir badna lageko cha with the market crowd growing when people set off to buy new clothes and stuff for dashai.

    Do leave your views about dashai and take a look at some photos below where dashai ko tika is being applied.

Muslim Youths stand at Bangalore Railway Station with Handbills Appealing North East People not to Leave the City

We are with you: Muslim youths displayed placard in support of North Eastern citizens at City
Railway Station in Bangalore on Thursday. Thousands
of people gather there to leave Bangalore.
India, a secular country where people from hundreds of communities of different castes, ethinicity, culture and tribes have been living since centuries. This unity was something that the whole world was proud of.
   Recent incidents of communal clashes have taken place in India. North East people had to leave Bangalore city due to the fear of communal attacks from the Muslims. The railway station of Bangalore was flooded with north east people who were leaving the city to their homelands due to fear. The people of the north east areas too were scared and worried due to the attack by the Muslims. So does that mean the NE people should hate the Muslims??
   The picture below really touched me. Due to the activities of some rowdy, uncivilized and notorious Muslims, we cannot blame the whole Muslim community for the wrong doings and start hating them. The picture reflects the true Indian brotherhood. All the innocent Muslims can't be charged guilty and they do not deserve hatred. They too feel terrible knowing the fact that the whole community is blamed for the wrong doings and for people leaving Bangalore.
     Lets not be communal or racial. Punish the ones who do the wrongs, the groups or the individuals, not the community. Lets bring peace. Lets share the bond that brings the.whole nation together, the bond of love. Let god shower love and peace this Id.
