India is a land of celebrations. From Diwali to holi ,eid to Durga pooja you will find most of dates in Indian calendars marked diiferently. diwali the festival of light has been mutated so much that "diya" gradually got replaced by candles and candles eventually replaced electric lamps and glitters. We are pacing up the ladder of modernization so fast that we are not even realizing that in this rat race we also picked up many other trends which is now eating up the entire ecosystem. The festival of light and prosperity has now become a festival of noise, hazards, accidents and choked up atmosphere. I feel that there is NO .. absolutely NO reason left to keep the cracker culture still up. Time has changed and its calling us to change as well. India (or world) 100 years ago is not the same. The environment with various kinds of pollutants in it has become like a ticking time bomb which is ready to explode any day. And before I proceed with the answer in detail I would say that its not about Diwali or Hindus. Its about every indian. Its about every indian because festivals are just an excuse. We light up crackers on every indian festival including new year. As a responsible generation we should think about preserving our environment so that the generations to come can enjoy and live the way we are living. So that the generations to come does not ends up cursing us for being selfish. Article credit vivek sahay
