Survey on Raksha Bandhan

On Raksha Bandhan, the festival celebrated the brother-sister bond with the tying of sacred threads and a focus on pressing issues such as environmental conservation, social equity, and women’s safety. Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the occasion at his residence, where schoolchildren tied rakhis on his wrist. He extended wishes for prosperity and good fortune, emphasizing the “auspicious” nature of the day.

In Kolkata, the festival took on a significant political dimension due to ongoing protests over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor at a state-run medical college. Protesters tied rakhis with messages demanding “justice,” and Kolkata Police personnel also participated in the gesture by tying rakhis to junior doctors who were part of the protests.
