Raksha Bandhan is a major festival of Hindus. Also, this festival shows the love between brother and sister. The history of this festival is about 5 thousand years old. Let us tell you that Raksha Bandhan is made by combining the words ‘Raksha’ and ‘Bandhan’. ‘Raksha’ means protection and ‘Bandhan’ means bond. Thus, Raksha Bandhan means ‘bond of protection’. In ancient times, on the festival of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a Rakhi or protective thread on their brothers’ wrists and take a promise from them to protect them. Brothers, on the other hand, promise to provide protection and help to their sisters. But with time, the tradition of giving gifts has also become a trend. Also according to Hindu mythology, when Lord Indra was going to fight the demons, his wife Indrani tied a thread on his wrist, which was called Rakshabandhan.

Sunil Gavaskar came out in support of Prakash Padukone Gavaskar further said, ‘What did he say? He said that players today get all kinds of facilities. They also have the support of the federation and the government. In such a situation, players should take responsibility for their performance. He put his point across well. He did not question anyone. Some people twisted his statement. After this people started criticizing him. He started putting forth his point without knowing anything. He said, ‘If a player does not take responsibility for his performance, then who will? What wrong did he say? People say that the timing was wrong. But it is better to say this at the time when the player is looking for an excuse. He could have said this in the changing room as well, but believe me, public criticism has a huge impact on a player.’
