India celebrates a lot of different holidays in October, which shows how united the country is despite its differences. In honor of its ideals, leaders, and traditions, the country celebrates events like Dussehra, the 100th anniversary of the RSS, and the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. These events not only remember the past, but they also encourage people to live in peace, bravery, and simplicity in the future.
Dussehra means “victory over evil.”
Dussehra, which is also called Vijayadashami, celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and the success of right over wrong. In India, effigies of Ravana are burned as part of a grand celebration called Ram Leela. The performances remind people of morals and bravery. There is a religious and cultural side to the event as well. Its message is that truth always wins over evil, no matter how strong it is.
On Gandhi Jayanti, we honor the founder of our country.
Mahatma Gandhi, the founder of nonviolence and peace, was born on October 2, 1869. All over the country, people gather for prayer, clean-up drives, and honors at Raj Ghat to mark the day. Gandhi’s ideas of ahimsa and satyagraha are still being used to lead efforts for justice and equality around the world. Today is also the International Day of Nonviolence, which means that people all over the world celebrate Gandhi Jayanti.
Celebrating RSS’s 100th birthday: a historic moment
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been around for 100 years this year. It is an important group that has had a big impact on India’s social and political life. As part of the celebrations for the centenary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi put out a special stamp and coin. In his speech, PM Modi stressed unity, peace, and the need to get rid of “untouchability.” He also said that no Hindu should have to deal with discrimination. The important event shows how powerful the Sangh is and how it wants to see Bharat united.
Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti
He was India’s second Prime Minister and was born on October 2. He is known for being honest, humble, and a good leader. “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan,” his famous slogan, still rings true as a reminder of how strong India is through its troops and farmers. On this day, tributes are paid to his vision of self-reliance, his service to the people, and his part in making India stronger during the war with Pakistan in 1965.
