One of the major concerns of a developing nation like us is environmental pollution. But today it involves bursting of firecrackers, suffocating smoke, ear-tearing noises, never-ending garbage and everlasting pollution. There something wrong with the way we celebrate it that not only makes us suffer but also our future children.ĭiwali was traditionally celebrated with earthen diyas and distribution of sweets to friends and family. We are harming the current generation of life as well as the future generation that is yet to come. But for certain years, we are doing more harm than good on this very auspicious day. It signifies the victory of good over evil. Out of which, Diwali is the most famous and largely celebrated holiday in India as it marks the Hindu New Year. This means that for almost half of the year we are celebrating something. According to Wikipedia, India celebrates 151 festivals in a year.
