Indians threw stones at each other during the festival, injuring 77 people in eight minutes. What is the origin of this festival?

There are many incomprehensible traditional festivals in India, such as throwing dung cakes and bathing in Ganges water. Especially during the epidemic, such activities have not been banned. Now there has been a stone-throwing incident, which has caused dozens of people to break their heads for the festival. It is said that this festival is called Bagwar Festival to please the Hindu goddess. Although the government has asked to switch to flowers and fruits, local people still feel that only stones and bloodshed can pay tribute.

In fact, this festival is held every year, and many people are injured every year. However, participants don't care, even enjoy it, and exchange stones with others every year.

1, Bagwar Festival This is a traditional Hindu festival. On this day, people will divide into two teams and throw stones at each other. The origin of this festival is not recorded. People only know that this is to please the Hindu goddess and throw stones as a celebration. According to online news, less than 8 minutes after the 202 1 Bagwar Festival was held, dozens of people were injured.

This is not the first time someone has been injured. Recorded on 20 18 and 20 19. In 2020, in addition to the epidemic, there will be a stone-throwing celebration every year. This activity is deeply rooted in the hearts of local people, and everyone has long been used to bloodshed.

People think that throwing stones is a tribute to the ancient people who were superstitious and often did some strange activities. Holding stones at each other is understandable. Looking closely at the nationalities and tribes in history, there are basically strange traditions. However, with the development of the times, people gradually mastered science and changed the original way of offering sacrifices.

So is Bagwar Festival. As early as 20 13, the relevant departments issued an order to replace stones with fruits and flowers. However, this order did not achieve the expected effect, and the locals still used stones. I don't know why, and the court didn't give a punishment. In this case, the stone is still a festival. Celebration? .

Although all kinds of wonderful festivals should respect national culture, sometimes Indians can always bring some surprises. For example, when the epidemic is serious, a large number of people go to the Ganges to take a bath, which leads to the local epidemic breaking through the highest value one after another. There is also a festival to exchange cow dung cakes, which also happened during the epidemic.

Different nationalities have different cultures, and we can understand this behavior, but it is against the meaning of the activity itself to hold an activity in a special period. Many celebrations are to pray for peace and happiness, and throwing stones at people is an exaggeration.
