Deepavali 2013: Its a measurement of Money power than Religion


In recent time the festival Deepavali has become a status symbol & competitive in nature amongst the residence in Assam aka India. It is loosing the ascetic & religious tag due to too much exposure of various commercials. With cost spiraling of various commodity people still try to surpass each other by burning excessive crackers & electricity along with gambling and drinking liquor. There are situation where the poor person has to borrow money to full fill the requirement of such competition due to pressure from their dependent kids. A psychological status symbol for their friends rather the enemy . Its seen except the elders, no one are interested to offer prayer to the almighty, a very saddening status of this festival.
Prayer time this Deepavali at village Namghar (Prayer hall).
