Condemnation Statement by Democratic Students Federation (DSF) against @hecpk's ban on Holi celebrations in Pakistani universities:

(1/10)
We strongly condemn @hecpk for its decision to ban Holi celebrations, even after witnessing successful celebrations at Quaid-I-Azam University. This ban infringes upon students' fundamental rights and disregards religious pluralism and cultural diversity in our country.

(2/10)
Pakistan is a diverse nation incorporating cultural richness. The recent celebration of Holi at Quaid-I-Azam University clearly demonstrated the acceptance and harmony among students from different backgrounds. Such events foster an environment of inclusivity and respect.

#Holi is over but even now several videos are viral on social media demonising the Holi festival.

Filmmaker @vinodkapri shared a video on Twitter, writing, “होली के नाम पर कितना शर्मनाक और घिनौना हुड़दंग होता है - इस विदेशी महिला का अनुभव सुनिए।”

He shared the video from @RayhaanTweets, who wrote in his original post, “Another foreigner explaining how she was molested and groped… So Shocking”

1. It was #Holi on 11th March 1990 when I travelled from Jammu to Delhi. I’d unfamiliar faces, smells, sights, behaviours, language&environment around me.

I was traveling but I was not on a vacation. This was the second phase in my #Exodus journey #KashmiriHindu #MyStory
2. As we neared Delhi, some people started to lower the glass windows which I found puzzling as the weather was nice and breezy. But I soon realised it when I saw water balloons bursting on the window with coloured water designing the glass temporarily.
#Memories #LostChildhood
3. This was my 1st tryst with Holi celebrations. It was celebrated in Jammu but never in #Kashmir & it seemed fascinating to me as a kid. Since Jan 1990, we like lakhs of #Hindus from Kashmir had undergone immense mental, financial&psychological turmoil due to #IslamicTerrorism

🚩An imp thread🧵 regarding #HoliFestival

Content👇🏼

💫 Clear confusion regarding date & timings of #HolikaDahan '23

🌉 #Holi Jagran Importance

🪅Harmful effects of #Chemical Colors

🎋How to make Alternative #Homemade #Organic Colors

🔮#VedicHoli with ♻️#Palash
Date & Timing of every #Hindu festival is considered according to the Panchang which is a detailed calculation & study of stars, constellations and planetary positions.

Hence this year #HolikaDahan will occur on 2 days based on the timings of sunset.
There are 4 Maharatris in Sanatan Dharma which bestow maximum spiritual benefits to the spritual aspirant who makes the most of this auspicious time.

#Mahashivratri, #Holi, Shri Krishna #Janmashtami & #Deepawali. The sadhana performed during these pious hours acts as catalyst.

But then, @yasirerkus had more questions.

A short thread
In his interview with @manojladwa, (see link), India's Exernal Affairs Minister, @DrSJaishankar, when asked about the ongoing #SecondCOVIDWave crisis in India, acknowledged that it was a grave problem almost an "existential crisis". But then he tried..
to soften the impact on his NRI audience, he compared what India is going through to the second wave in Britain in 2020 late summer and autumn when the health services were swamped, "you've been through something similar, that is what India is going thru now"
This is not untrue, but grossly misleading. Yes Britain, at the height of the epidemic, was reporting 50k cases a day and 1,750 deaths. See chart 1. In population terms britain had far more cases and deaths (Chart 2) ImageImage

#Holika was a demoness in Hindu Vedic scriptures, who was burnt to death with the help of God #Vishnu. She was the sister of King #Hiranyakashipu and aunt of #Prahlad. The story of #HolikaDahan signifies the triumph of good over evil.
As per According to Image
#Bhagavat Purana,a king named #Hiranyakashipu who, like many demons and #Asuras, had the intense desire to be immortal. To fulfill this desire, he performed the required #Tapas or penances until he was granted a boon by #Brahma. Image
Since the Gods rarely granted immortality, he used his guile and cunning to get a boon that he thought made him immortal. The boon gave #Hiranyakashipu five special powers.
he could be killed by neither a human being nor an animal, neither indoors nor outdoors, Image

The festival of #Holi in Indo-Muslim music 🧵

1/ Kaafi by Bulleh Shah "Hori khelungi keh bismillah" with a beautiful incorporation of a Quranic verse

«اَلَستُ بِرَبِّکُم» پریتم بولے سب سکھیاں نے گنگھٹ کھولے

«قالُوا بلیٰ» ہی یوں کر بولے لا الہ الا اللہ
2/ "Alastu bu rabbikum" (from Quran 7:172) is usually interpreted as the primordial questioning of human souls by Allah asking "Am I not your Lord". Bulleh Shah has visualized this scene as an ecstatic celebration akin to Holi celebrations...
3/ The performance above is by Madan Gopal Singh. Here is a slightly Urdufied qawwali adaptation of the same Bulleh Shah Holi poem performed in Bihar by Meraj Afzaly:

#Holi is not a bad festival. It's the cheap and despo guys who give it a bad rap. And they're in a majority. Don't blame women for wanting to avoid it and declare them anti-hindu.
Guys who are hurt, either you have lived in delusion and have ZERO females in your life or are the "bura na mano Holi hai" types.
Here is another funny contradiction. Guys agree many men molest and are perverts. So do you think these guys decide to become angels on such days?

In a bid to keep local tradition alive in Varanasi, devotees on March 25 gathered at Manikarnika Ghat and painted each other with ash and dry colours (Gulal) amid burning pyres.
Traditionally, this celebration takes place a day after the Ekadashi at Mahashmashan cremation ground. The ash they use to play is collected from the pyres of 'Rangabhari Ekadashi'.
Devotees gathered and celebrated #Holi by singing folk songs and chanting the name of Lord Shiva.

#EXCLUSIVE: Bankers may be working all 31 days of March with the government looking to double the loans doled out under the #PMSVANidhi scheme

businessinsider.in/finance/banks/…

By @pabsgill
@pabsgill Public sector banks are always anxious in March as the financial year draws to a close. It's not uncommon for the management to ask employees to pull a few extra hours at work. However, this year, some public sector bank employees may be working all 31 days of the month.
@pabsgill On the one hand, the Indian government has issued an order asking banks to double the disbursements given out under the #PMSVANidhi scheme. And, on the other, the banks have their own internal targets to meet when it comes to agricultural loans, #MSME credit and other aspects.

In Bengaluru alone 4lakh animals are killed on Eid which incl 10,000 large animals -cattle & camels generating 300 tons of animal waste which is buried in pits near Kogilu on cityoutskirts🚩
2. For 14 lakh Peacefullls in Bengaluru - 4 lakh animals are killed.
Even if 1 animal weighs 10 kg then can an average person eat 3 kg meat on single day ?
And mind you this includes kids& infants also. So most of the meat goes waste..🚩
3. If you conflate this number to whole of India-then imagine the number of animals killed on that single day ?
For 200 millon it must be at least 20 millon animals
& 200 millon kgs of meat & staggering 8 billon kgs of Green House gases & Carbon dioxide 🚩
