The Supreme Court of India has now placed a ban on selling crackers on Diwali. What I will never tell her is that a Twitter campaign #WakeUpHindus is now calling for defying the SC ban. That
an army of 'Religious Rights Activists’ have raised the slogan- _Ab ki baar Pathakhon ki Bharmaar_. Yes, a ban is not the solution. Yes, the legislature and not the judiciary should
initiate a restriction on such things. Yes, the call for the control should ultimately come from the public and the pollution that increases manifold on Diwali is still alarming much before
and after Diwali. BUT till the consensus happens and we derive the most democratic and feasible solution on earth, how do many, many, many like my mom hold on? To all those who are
tirelessly engaged in a #FirecrackerDebate, to those whose religious freedoms feel restricted, and to those whose sentiments are hurt, I must tell you; a 45 kg oxygen cylinder lasts for 24
hours AND your time starts now.
