Alternate ways to celebrate Diwali

We should think twice before buying fireworks in Diwali. Is this the only way to celebrate Diwali? Instead of spending too much on fireworks and considering effects of fireworks on health and environment we can buy gifts, books, gadgets or cloths which are less harmful for nature as compared to firecrackers. We can donate books or clothes for poor students. Also can conduct various competitions on environmental awareness.

Pollution free firecrackers are available but they are very costly and can’t fulfil the demand. In U.S. after studying effects of it on human health they have shifted to laser shows instead of using traditional firecrackers .

From darkness to light or from light to darkness

Before using fireworks we should ask ourselves that are we actually going from darkness to light by using them or from light to darkness?

    Wonderful work. Thank you for the efforts you put in to systematically organize this factual data. India will start on the path to development when the citizens understand and follow this. It is not for nothing that India is called a third world country. We are only literate not educated.
