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.

Why would I face Jasprit Bumrah anyway?

We should not fight among ourselves for these things in our country. That’s what I want to say first. Every sport is best in its own place. But give importance to other sports too, otherwise where will we get sporting culture from? And cricket, Bollywood will always be our focus.
