It is said that
the festival of Rakhi has been going on from pre-historic time in India and
dates back to the Vedic age even. However, if the modern age is taken into
consideration, none other than Rabindranath
Tagore deserves the credit to popularize the custom more than ever before. Those
were the turbulent days of anti-partition movement (Bangabhanga Birodhi or
Swadeshi Andolan) during 1905 when the globally revered poet vowed to promote
the notion of national unity, commitment to people at large in India through
Rakhi and thus to strengthen the country enough to fight back British
imperialism.
Hindu Samhati, since its
inception, to promote the same saga of national unity, harmony among people in
India and also to strengthen the Hindu consciousness (Chetana), has been
celebrating Rakhi festival with splendor. There has not been any exception in
this year as well; the best display of which was witnessed on August 2, 2012 or
the very day of Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan.
Hindu Samhati activists, in large
numbers, did partake in the cause and extended hands of assistance and harmony
to all sections of the society through tying Rakhi. Activists in large numbers
visited different echelons of the government in various parts of Bengal. And as
expected, personnel of Police Force, BDO Office, BLR (Land Revenue) Office,
Panchayat Office, SDO, SDPO, GRP (Rail Police) Office and BSF greeted them
cordially.
Hindu Samhati is a highly
committed nationalist organization and its sincerity to celebrate Rakhi Utsav
denotes the same once again altogether.
