Slide 1: Raksha Bandhan - An age-old Indian Tradition Since time immemorial, Rakhi has been a festival deep-rooted into the socio-cultural life of the Indians as a whole. Irrespective of being the home to different castes and creed, the celebrations of the Rakhi festival in India truly marks this country's unity and tradition. More than being just a mere festival, Rakhi to India encapsulates the glory of a sacred human relationship - the relationship between a brother and a sister. The festival of Rakhi has a rich Hindu cultural platform as its base. The commencement and subsequent developments of many historically significant epics relate to this festival. The origin of this sacrosanct festival of Raksha Bandhan, thereby can be traced far back to the Vedic times. One such a mythological implication is of Indrani tying a rakhi to Indra when the latter raged a war against the demons. It is because of the healing abilities of this protective thread that Indra returned victorious. There is another story that relates of Yama, the Hindu god of Death, and his sister Yamuna. Yama was so overwhelmed by the serenity of the occasion that he declared that if anyone gets a rakhi tied by his sister and promises to protect her all lifelong, he will be conferred immortality. Coming back to reality, this festival of Rakhi also rings large with historical connections. Once, Rani Karnawati of Chittor, realizing that she could not defend the impending onslaught of the Sultan of Gujarat, sent a rakhi to emperor Humayun. The Delhi sultanate was so touched by this noble gesture that he immediate set off his troops to defend the honor of Chittor. Then there is another saga which states that Roxana, the Indian wife of Alexander the Great, sent a sacred rakhi thread to Porus, asking him not to harm her husband in battle. In accordance with Hindu traditions, Porus paid full respect to the rakhi. On the battlefield, when Porus was about to deliver a final blow to Alexander, restrained himself when he saw the rakhi tied on his wrist. So, right from the chronicled times to the age of computers and internet, the celebration of Raksha Bandhan has proved to be an adept mechanism in strengthening the country's social bondage with its age-old traditions and beliefs.
