India is a country where everyday
there is a seprate festival going on in some part of it. This is a very
intresting feature of this holy country. A vast number of population is
hindu though people from every several other religions co-exist in this
environment. These general Indian festivals are of low importance but
are celebrated with the same enthusiasm and vigour as are the other
festivals of India.
These general festivals have over the year came into India through
western society. Citizens of India have been under the influence of
these societies for a long period of time and over the year learned to
celebrateand the reasons for the celebrations of these festivals. These
general festival have also came into India not only from the west but
also from the neigbouring Indian countries as China.
These festivals did not hinder with the other festivals that are
celebrated in India and have only added to the festivals that have been
celebrated here for past several years. Festivals like Valentine's day
have made Indians enjoy there romantic side while festivals like Buddha
Purnima have encouraged India to be more bent towards the spiritual
side.
Mother's Day and Father's Day are one of the few festivals that have
helped the younger generations to get closer to their elderly and apart
from respect also show these elderly our love and care towards them.
