According to Hinduism Dussehra is a festival which celebrates the victory of good over evil. Lord Rama killed Ravana on this day and gave us the message that even a strong and powerful evil cannot dominate the good things, but in modern times we are forgetting the original message of the Dussehara. People burn the effigies of Ravana, but is it enough? No, not at all because the crackers which may be used in the effigies made by underage children in the factories which have unsafe environment. They don’t get enough wages. Number of children died every year because of dangerous working situations.
The real message is the victory of good over evil, but what about us? We fire the crackers, it means that we encourage the child labor indirectly and we don’t have concern about our environment. The littering of the waste of crackers, noise pollution from crackers is spreading the evil around us. So if we really want to celebrate the Dussehra we have to burn the evil inside and around us. That will be the original celebration of Dussehra.
