  • Why Is Raksha Bandhan So Special? the Power of a Thread by R Ām Lingam
    Why is Raksha Bandhan so special? The power of a thread By R ām Lingam The beauty of Indian culture with all its festivals, customs, rituals, traditions and deep philosophy is designed to nurture relationships. The importance of relationship is amply demonstrated and stressed as foremost in its Indian scheme of living ~ be it the relationship of parent-child, teacher-student, husband-wife, brother-sister, humans-other beings, mankind-universe and even the primary relationship between man and GOD. There is a festival, tradition, custom, ritual and social practice for each of these relationships. Also, there is a specific name for each relationship along with a role prescription. There is a different name for each relation in an Indian family. A ‘kaka’ is different to a ‘Mama’ or ‘Masa’ and a ‘Jeth’ is different to a ‘Devar’ yet they are all ‘uncles’ to a child. Watch the teleserial ‘Yeh Rishta kya kahelalata hai’ on Star Plus and you will know about the names of these different Indian relationships. The Indian literature and legends abound with examples of such relationships and role-models. The entire gamut of relationships is thus systematized in the Indian family system. Customs like the Raksha Bandhan is just proof of that, where sisters tie the sacred Rakhi thread on their brothers' right wrists and pray for their long life. ‘Raksha' means ‘protection’ and ‘bandhan' means ‘bond’ making this a unique festival in India which glorifies all relationships, especially that of a special brother-sister relationship. On this day brothers and sisters reach out to show their love, affection, care, respect and togetherness to strengthen the emotional bonding of the family.

  • Snakes, Dragons and Cultures
    Nagapanchami 081/070816 nag PanChmi: snakes, dragons and Cultures Jawhar Sircar Ananda Bazar Patrika, 7th August 2016 (English Version) The month of Shravan brings joy to poets and also to farmers, but it also brings numerous snakes out of their flooded homes, triggering both fear and worship. This explains why many Indians celebrate Naga Panchami on Shravan Shukla Panchami, on the 7th of August this year. The snake is more than just an awe-inspiring creature: it actually marks different stages in the gradual evolution of the Indian mind, over centuries and millennia. We could begin from Janamejaya who personified the Western-Aryan hatred for the serpent, but we will reach a stage when the same animal found veneration, as Naga-raja or Manasa. The two, incidentally, are quite different, as one is a male snake and the other is surely a female deity. One can forgive this mistake, because it is not very safe to get too close to examine a snake's gender, even while worshipping. The serpent bears evidence of many conflicts, like the one between the wheat-eating Indo-Europeans of the West and the rice-loving civilisations of the East. After all, rice cultivation was hardly possible without water and this necessitated a better adjustment with eco-systems where snakes lived in plenty, but were not usually aggressive or venomous, unless attacked. In its legends are traces of the perennial struggle between ‘formal’ and ‘folk’ cultures. Manasa in Bengal was primarily folk, but later formalized as Padmavati, who was born from Shiva’s semen that fell on a lotus plant.

Professor, Department of English Govt. M. M. R. PG College, Champa Dr. Tanjeen Ara Khan Asst. Professor, Department of English Govt. M. M. R. PG College, Champa Folklore is a part of culture and history. It has its roots in our ancestral history. It is a traditional heritage which is passed from one generation to another orally. Time has changed and it is observed that folklores are also getting documented. In this paper we would like to explore the wishes, desires and hope of Rajasthani women exhibited in the folklores related to Ganguar festival. Gangaur is a famous festival celebrated by young maiden and married women for longevity of their groom. It is celebrated for sixteen days and each day they sing folklores related to plucking grass to offering water. By these folklores they emancipate their desire to the patriarchy. These songs are meant for expression of self. It has polite way so that the hard hitting things can be conveyed by it easily. Folklores are being used by women of Rajasthan to talk about their fancies, whims and desires. India has a rich tradition of fair and festivals that form the fulcrum of the cultural life of the people. Rajasthan is known as the land of colours. Its culture is very rich in terms of festivity and celebration. Holi, Dussera, Diwali,Teej and Gangaur are most widely celebrated festivals here.
