- “Stop bursting crackers”, “don’t pollute the air”, and “don’t scare the animals”, are some very
common lines that we get to hear on and around Diwali every year.
Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness good over evil and knowledge over
ignorance. It is a time when people embrace one another with joy and laughter. Nearly 1.2 billion
Hindus celebrate Diwali every year but quite often there are a lot of restrictions imposed on the
festival.
WHY SO?

Yes sister you are right I'm from sivakasi.Most of the people incomes are came from fireworks industry. Due to the problem last few years manufacturing was decreased very minimal lots of people have struggle to money.

True and the last few years Chinese companies flourished brilliantly. Why no convert all farm waste burnt across yamuna in to compost?
@@Keerthihistory why can’t we make STUBBLE BRISKETS or BRICKS and sell it all over india .. STUBBLE is an EXCELLENT FUEL…PUT THE STUBBLE IN A MIXER make it into a powder like SAW DUST and mix it with cow dung … BINGO…. We have fuel BRICKS… your comments welcome

Hi Keerthi! I'm an environmental engineer. I can't find the words to express myself because you are precisely pinpointing the reality with a headshot. Every single point you mentioned has deep meaning. From an environmentalist's perspective, I'm thanking you.
What a enviromentalist prasing someone who says patakas have no Impact : Diwali has no real connection with firecrackers. Traditionally, it was a vibrant celebration of Lord Rama’s return, marked by lighting diyas as an expression of love and devotion. Firecrackers, on the other hand, are harmful - they lead to significant pollution, which can be easily seen in the rise of AQI levels around Diwali. People often start setting off crackers days in advance, which worsens the issue. Unlike fireworks displays in places like the USA or Dubai, where a single entity handles it for a short duration, here everyone celebrates individually, and with our large population, the impact is massive.
Not only do firecrackers pollute the air, but they also terrify animals, especially loud ones like sutli bombs or horse crackers. It’s heartbreaking to see how such a beautiful festival, meant to honor a divine return, has turned into a celebration of noise and pollution rather than a true expression of joy and reverence.
Thanks Keerthi for raising this topic 🎉
You are doing great dear 💕 your video is an eye opener for all.
Instead of stubble burning, farmers should sell the harvested waste biomass to biogas production units. The biogas units can use those biomass for production of biogas and fuels through processes like gasification and saccharification of wastes. Also the farmers can use the biomass for mushroom cultivations. I think this might help reduce air pollution levels.
What is harvested waste here ? can u give light on it. It's the leftover which is of no use. However what we can do we can celebrate our festival in other ways which are already there.
@@vinodyadav-ip1se Harvested waste I believe is referring to the wheat stock that is left in the farm lands after harvesting the grains. It is of no use to the farmer, however it can be used to create biofuel, or even used as natural decomposed fertilizers. Once again, we can infact celebrate Diwali in different ways, I for one do not burn fire cracker and have no interest in adding to the pollution, but that doesn't mean we should take away the joy of celebration from the other kids and families. It is also about fairness, why exactly is Diwali targeted every year? But not other holidays like Eid, Christmas etc. There is mass slaughter of animals on Eid and huge deforestation during Christmas, but no one talks about it. But when it comes to Hindu festivals, there seems to be no end to the criticism.
Well, I'm planing to create an air purifier just for road side pollution.... Wish me luck guys😊
best of luck
Most of pollution from factory around noida, even the water pollution is also high.... You right kirthi ji... Happy deepawali....
40% come from stubble/parali burning........thats why it increases in winters
The truth that is, Divali is about Victory over Evil, not burning crackers.
Our heart has to be pure from inside not from outside.
@@Tsewang_Lachenpa So your point is? All festivals stand for something that doesnt mean we will stop rituals and festivities related to it.
You dont want to burst crackers...cool dont do it...but others dont need to be forced to stop it for no reason.
@@yami6499 It isnt being done for no reason. It is done to prevent pollution. Diwali can be celebrated without firecrackers also.
@@secularindian592no crackers, no Diwali
Thanks for this yet another eye-opener. May the fire inside you keep burning and be the light of inspiration for everyone. Shubh Deepavali! ✨

originally firecrackers were made in china and brought in india by mongols... after certain time firecrackers gained popularity but in history it is mentioned that diwali was celebrated for lord rama's return and also another story was related to lord vishnu where his wife was asked to stay in houses with diya... there is no direct connection to firecrackers anywhere but still people of india in the name of culture become ignorant and fire crackers. Even if it a part of culture according to people it doesn't change the fact that firecrackers pollute about more than 200-2000 times than the safety level according to un and you can't average out one day of complete pollution throughout the year with other sources that cause pollution like burning farms, other cultures or cars. Every type of pollution needs to controlled not encouraged including diwali. And people don't understand that children have lost lives or have health Hazzards while creating these firecrackers as their own children enjoy bursting them 😢
And what about the children who are forced to work in fire crackers industries which cause many deaths due to the hazardous chemical composition!?
atleast there is someone who is saying and standing with the truth 🎭 . this video deserves to be shared . jai shree RAM🚩🚩
The truth that is, Divali is about Victory over Evil, not burning crackers.
Our heart has to be pure from inside not from outside.
Tell me how burning crackers makes you victory over Evil? You are itself evil, polluting environment etc.
Yeah
@@Tsewang_LachenpaU can get out of Hindustan if u have any prob 🗿
Its our country we are absolutely free to celebrate our festivals any way we want
@@Ash-e6m I am not speaking against of Divali festival, but I guess people like you need to know the truth that is Divali means Derived from the Sanskrit word dipavali, which means “row of lights,” Diwali is known for the brightly burning clay lamps that people put outside their homes during the holiday.
Diwali marks Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya with Maa Sita and Lord Lakshman after spending 14 years in exile and defeating the King of Lanka, Ravana. The festival celebrates the country's cultural heritage and is observed all over the country.
Divali is about Victory over Evil, not burning crackers, and btw tell me how burning crackers is a sign of victory over Evil?
Secondly you can't call India as Hindustan, because there's other religions also exists, now you must be thinking I am Muslim or anti-hindu, but let me tell you I am not, I am believer of compassion and love not, hate.
The same people who say dont scare the animals are the ones who dont even care about them,i bet my life if a street dogs even sit around their car thy will handicap him for life or even kill them,and these are the same people who kill animals as serving to gods,how can a god can be satisfied by killing of a life,either your tradition is wrong or your religion,its time to wake up hindus,a litre of oil or milk is way way better than killing a living being,who has feelings,who feels pain,the amount of food the westrn countries waste is unimaginable,thy play with the bloody food,la tomatina festivals,but cause its westrn its cool,zoya akhtar with his left eye and left brain not working will make a travel movie on it,and when a hindu offers some milk on a murti,their will be a documantry titled as"are hindu festivals reason of poverty"or"are hindu festivals the reason world is not peacefull anymore",their are more crackers busted in disneyland on every friday than we bust in diwali,and on christmas and new year you cant even imagine,when these so called peacefull religion celebrates eid,the scene after the day of cutting animals,your senses will fall out of your body,their are floods of blood on the streets literal floods,but our media isnt brave enough to go in that galis where they live or thy will be butchered as well,and the cries of animals shakes your souls,specially cow,cows are so humble,lovely creatures man,i cant even talk about it,its so horrendous

You are absolutely right 😁😇 I hope this video helps atleast some secular Hindus to identify the hypocrisy on Deepawali celebrations 😌
yes smoke by deepawli cleans "air" cmon dude grow up ek teenager ki tarah behave krna bnd kro.
@@YourParasyes you are right same way your vehicle smoke all 365 days won't clean the air so please go by cycle avoid vehicles with can contribute more than 1 day cracker ban .
@@YourParasWhy not ban deisel vehicles
@@YourParas You need to grow up kid. What about greenhouse gases due to red meat consumption. You can google the statistics and then we can have intelligent conversation. In fact, increase in red meat consumption become more than 2-3 times during Ramadan & Eid, effectively increasing greenhouse gases by 2-5 percent annually through the world. Compared to that Diwali pollution doesn't even contribute .0001 percent global pollution.
@@vigneshwaranjayavel5215 yes we should focus on other issues causing pollution but that doesn't make the fire crackers environment friendly
If we see that is western stuff which we use in our beautiful festival Diwali 🪔 to celebrate it
We eat non-veg in our daily lives but
In our festivals we specally don't eat them
For the good
Then why do we accept this fire crackers thing which is not even a part of our culture
You are totally right. It is becoming a fashion in our country to point out Hindus and hindu festivals if any issue occurrs. Because we are secular.
Absolutely true ! It's like the pressure of being secular is on Hindus only and it has reached the point where Hindus cannot even celebrate their own festivals peacefully in their own country !
@@shatzco so in your sense or view does indus valley have these education type these jeans tshirts burgers fast food and all ? You are having them right its the same way things keeps changes based kn generation. At that time they used to go on walks so why cant you do that instead of using bus bikes and all. So can tou tell why the soo called Psudeo Secularist pick crackers on diwali is wrong crackers are used on new year(Christian new year) jan 1st and on cricket matches and on Christmas and all so here the issue is not with the crackers it is will the pollution and you guys need to find the solution for it. The government cant stop the pollution from industries or vehicles etc so to coverup themselves they just say stop diwali stop crackers. I don’t say crackers are good they are harmful to Earth and for people who work there my point here is Why Government and all people targets Hindu Festivals.
Yes hindu temples money is for govt...but not churches of other religion
It’s not a cause for pollution, it will increase the pollution (crackers)
I'm not supporting the ban of Crackers but I think we should limit the crackers on an individual level. Diwali is a festival of lights not sound.
What a closing Keerthi, you are so right, Diwali is loosing its charm due to so many restrictions. Thanks for spreading awareness. Happy Diwali !
Divali is about Victory over Evil, not burning crackers...
One's heart have to be pure not from outside.

All the youngsters need to stand up for your rights to be able to enjoy fire crackers with Deepawali. How come Americans get to enjoy fireworks show every night in their theme parks? Disney land, Disney world, Niagara falls - all these places burst fireworks for 30 minutes EVERY DAY - 365 days a year. Isn't that polluting the environment? The dictatorial government wants to restrict people's liberties. Vote them OUT.
Keerthi mam , my geography teacher told bursting crackers is the major cause for pollution and she gave the example of delhi . But after watching your video I got to know the truth.❤
Happy dipawali ❤🎉🎉
Tell that teacher about this info and ask her to not teach what she teaches
@@RSKAcharya tell yourself crackers also leads to pollution
@@YourParas first know why bursting crackers exist.
It’s not a celebratory thing but a ritual.
Read the scripture “karthika Mahatmya “
Also, pollution is not ONLY caused by crackers. Maybe it can be regulated (which they have) but restricting it by arresting people who celebrate their culture or by preaching against this activity, I would say it’s utter BS to do so.
Try to say the same thing when people whose cultures don’t have such rituals burst crackers as a celebratory deed !? Can you?
@@RSKAcharya exactly brother, nice to see a person who said as a ritual from our scriptures. even me too said about this to everyone whom I know.
@preetij4090 dear please remember that that fire crackers need not be the ones with a loud sound. they make life hell for the animals on that day and also for elders. you can fire crackers which don't cause much polution and does not burst with a loud boom. also when the air quality index is already deadly in a city, it will add an extra layer of danger to the people living in that city if there is no control over the fire crackers.
Even I do think the bursting of firecrackers is the main reason for pollution but today I came to know that there are other more reasons that cause pollution. Thanks keerthi for sharing this 🙏
There is like factories, but factories is necessary but crackers are not.
The authoritarian central government wants to take away people's rights one at a time by making up bogus laws. In America, in all the theme parks like Disney World, Disney Land, Niagara Falls and other places they have a 30 minute fireworks show EVERYDAY - 365 days a year. And ALL the millionaires in America travel by personal jets which increase pollution by 3000%. They don't mention any of this, but they want common people to sacrifice our traditions. All these idiots who talk about pollution do not do anything to ban cars or private jets or ban cutting trees. None of them care to plant trees, but everyone wants to cut trees and build sky scrapers. The dictators make rules for common people and exempt themselves from those rules - and they continue to travel in their luxury cars and private jets.
Frankly speaking, it is polluting. I do sometimes get headache and 3ye irritation. I have to plug my ears as well.
@@vijaysrini27 You are absolutely correct in your words, but who tell these peoples?
@@vijaysrini27 The cars, the airplanes and the petroleum industries cause 4000% more pollution than the tiny crackers that common people burst. People like Ambani, Adani, Bill Gates, Narayan Murthy, Modi, Sadhguru, all the celebrities and all the oligarchs fly around the world in private jets which is causing the pollution and that is the cause for your headache. Also these are the same people who participate in de-forestation because they want land to construct buildings. The wealthy people will NOT sacrifice their luxuries, but they want the common people to stop enjoying 3 days in a year.
On this special occasion of Diwali, I would like to thank you for this absolute masterpiece of information..
Says it's not Whataboutism but proceeds to do exactly that. I mean was the point 'we'll stop distressing animals with firecrackers during Diwali if Muslims stopped animal sacrificing during Eid and Christians stopped eating Turkey for Thanksgiving?"
We would have been very lucky if you were our history and social studies teacher. As your facts are quite solid. Pranam! 🙏🙏
Thanks a ton
Yep as no social studies teaches this clearly

I have heard this many times that "we should not burst crackers and not cause pollution"

People can use public transport.
You are right.... it feels like some conspiracy going around to curb Hindu Festivals..... SC should take every aspect into account and support preserving our tradition and culture.
SC is hand-in-glove with the conspirators.!!
No one is curbing Hindu Festivals. As per tradition and culture, how old would that be, cause fireworks came in use only 200 yrs back in certain parts of the world and came to India much later. It's a festival of lights not sound and smoke. Light a lamp and spread peace!
@@ashwindsilvaWrong. Crackers were in India since thousands of years, it didn't came 200years ago. Just not as good as current but people have been bursting crackers since hundreds of years.
SC is just a puppet and hardly gives correct judgement.. it's corrupted by looking at recent judgements .. so biased
L😂l
You just woke up??? Supreme Court is the MOST evil part of that Leftist agenda against Hinduism
This should be an eye-opener for us. We get so carried away by pseudo-liberal propaganda that we forget Diwali is our tradition celebrated only once a year. Moreover, it should be no surprise that Diwali is NOT among India's top 10 reasons for pollution in our country.
Thanks for sharing!

Once a year polluting is ok😂
However I stopped bursting crackers as my family is a dog family & v know how animals suffer due to crackers. And moreover even my grandmother (85+ yr old) says bursting crackers has got nothing to do with our traditional Diwali celebrations. It came up much later as lighting of electric lights & candles instead of diyas.
@@raj6308 Your once a year had generated lot of environmental pollutants.
@@Tsewang_Lachenpa I didn't get u... Or seems u didn't get my pun.
I disregarded Keerthi's statement of once a year is ok.
I haven’t burst crackers since 2012 but it’s for a personal reasons. Everything you said is 100% right. I don’t live in NCR, but even going there as an Indian scared me because of the pollution. The SC can take better steps than just banning firecrackers. If they can justify it, they should justify why no action in stubble burning and all the other reasons
I agree with you. Even I seldom burst crackers because I prefer to decorate the house with Diyas (personal preference)
i also didn't use crackers from over a decade.
But when these stupid-a*s "Elite" so-called celebrities talking about environment and health when in their own life they do/eat whatever they want w/o caring about any impacts and even promote literally any shitty products just for money, any sane person will recognise their propaganda.
It hurts when some innocent people listens to them and thinks they are some kind of intellectuals, and some start feeling ashamed of their own festival which they enjoys.

What happened to true purpose of why we celebrate diwali and how we should try alternatives instead of burning money by buying crackers.just because crackers are not on top 10 list doesn't mean we can use it without any concern.
Exactly right...true meaning of diwali is something else...
Shubh Deepavali Didi, I have learnt so much from you, a big thanks 🧡

I totally agree with almost everything with you said
But the point at the end you said was that you used to count days till Diwali to burst crackers
But right now it's not the same case with people especially in Delhi
In my area kids were bursting crackers everyday without a day to spare since over a month and i am not even exaggerating this
If anything when i say over a month i could be underplaying it
Also to add to it I am 18 years old right now And I haven't bursted a single cracker since past 8 -9 years as well
That is because I feel you don't necessarily need to burst crackers to keep the traditions alive
Diwali is a festival of lights and lighting up a Diya is a much better option in my opinion
i agree. the festival of lights is already beautiful. the nasty noise and smoke from crackers all around is a big turn off...cannot even go out to see the beautiful decorations of the city coz of my heart.

If we are bursting cracking once a year then cause of pollution is 11th place imagine if all cracks once in a week
I totally agree. Clearly our Diwali festival is suffering the consequences of the mismanagement of the government authorities😢
Rightly said
I'm in favour of complete ban of firecrackers... I suffer from asthma and I'm just 17. People who burst firecrackers just burst them for 15-20mins of joy but people like me have to struggle to breathe these 2-3 days. Believe me it's hell. Apart from asthma I also have anxiety issues, whenever there's a loud noise my chest tightens up. It's not only about me but several people like me.... What joy can one get knowing well that their actions contribute to many people suffering? We feel that our "religion" is being attacked, Hindus suffer in this country etc etc just because we are not allowed to burn firecrackers??
Diwali was never about burning firecrackers, it's a festival of light. Light is not only a physical concept but also an abstract one. Don't let your immature actions harm others, diwali is my festival as well please don't ruin my festival of lights.
Happy Diwali to all
FROM MR PETER CASTELLINO, BOMBAY, 10-1-2025.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT.
BURSTING OF FIRECRACKERS IS A WASTE OF MONEY TOO WHEN THERE ARE OTHER INTERESTING WAYS TO CELEBRATE THE FESTIVAL AND MAKE IT THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS AND NOT THE FESTIVAL OF NOISE .

Supreme Court never banned Diwali celebrations they asked to reduce the amount of crackers burnt.. when you speak about the west on cracker they have lot of rules not just on paper that are enforced
Pollution control rules are there in india too but it’s lacking in enforcement
You have covered all the aspects of this issue . Great explanation 👏
I'll be honest
It causes a lot of noise pollution. It's kind of annoying for me but still I can understand as some people do have fun and it's a part of some people's income. I have seen multiple animals(dogs,cats,etc..) tremble with fear. I saw one yesterday which wasn't even able to move due to fear in my violin class and my neighbour's dog keeps running around the house in panic.
Most of the old street dogs don't panic that much but a few young street dogs and cats do panic. I saw my friend's hamster trembling.
I understand that there are many other factors that cause more pollution which should be stopped but Noise pollution is a big factor too in Diwali.
We can't only think about humans, what about the other cuties. Also, some people have a phobia of huge sounds.
last sentence + people with heart issues...cannot enjoy the festival...coz of the unwanted noise n smoke. and im still unable to understand how and why did the festival of lights become a festival of noise
Agree 💯.....Why to aggravate the pollution problem with crackers in the name of religion?.Think of asthmatics ....As a class 9th student, I hadn't burnt a single cracker on this diwali.Instead, I had exquisitely decorated my house with diyas as the Ayodhyans did 7000 years ago for Lord Ram's reverent welcome.
Hope that some selective people will get agree with my views.
Vande Mataram 🇮🇳
One thing somebody is not coming to your home and blasting the craker in your ear and also I agree people with heart disease have some problem but here one thing you might talk with your neighbours and take necessary precautions. But the crackers are not fired everyday in a year only once in year. All the noise you will be remembering on this only there are many other industries also which have noise pollution and smoke also once in a year fired crackers are getting blamed for pollution very worst other countries are doing for their festivals also we are ones where it has been tradition here we are questioning
If it so why do they ban crackers on Diwali completely ban them they don't have problems when firecrackers are burst during new year, Christmas, political parties meating, events etc.i also saw about ads during Diwali asking to eat sweets less because it causes diabetes but the same brands encourage sweets and cakes during Christmas, ramzan and other festivals maybe sugar works differently on body during these festivals
Well researched and well explained.......it's a tight slap on delhi governments face......just stop blaming everything only on our festivals....
so exiting , its every ones responsibility. u r indirectly causing damge to env . i will allow you to fire crakers can u stop other polluting factors u are doing . u cant
@@elliotgknight1169 Ya a damage which doesn't even constitute 2% of overall pollution. It causes less than Christmas which constitutes 3% of pollution.
@@elliotgknight1169We can if there is no political agenda over it .There are so many problems in the country for which so called librandus will not speak about it but when it comes to hindu festivals all will appear out of nowhere that shows how biased and 3rd class double standards u people have and for a fact a double standard person can never save any one in the end he will be supporting chaos and distruction

These 3 actors the day they asked not to burst 💥 crackers became MOST UNFAVORATE actors
I was treating an injured parrot suddenly sparks off rocket appear at my window on late night sparks also hit my parrot cage he was burned too death😢
You are doing great job Keerthi boldly. Keep continuing all the good job by sharing the facts. This will help us to know, understand and realise the facts.. Proud of you.. Happy Deepawali to you and your family 🎇🪔🎉...
The truth that is, Divali is about Victory over Evil, not burning crackers.
Our heart has to be pure from inside not from outside.
But we should keep it in mind that we do not cause much harm to our environment because of our own selves.
We should try to play in a safe way without disturbing other's daily lives.
Yaya ....we can feel the noise pollution 5 times in a day , etc etc 👍
@@yuvasatish4066 That's not any sort of noise pollution.
It's just a sound which even a bedridden person can bear unlike the very loud noise of crackers.
Above all Diwali is a festival of lights and not of unwanted noise.
A little bit sound of crackers is okay but not the excessive one 🙃🙃
@@peace-and-patience.true..
True
I agree that firecrackers might not be polluting the air that much but why to add into the already existing pollution by burning firecrackers? And nowhere in our scriptures it is said to burn firecrackers on diwali
Right 👍
Thanks
You make people understand each and every topic in very simple way .. Thank you sister 🙏
No, sister I should say diwali is also one of the reason. Because after 1,2 weeks of Diwali all the chickens from my villages will die, it's happen every year. Season may be due to harmful air pollution.
What about eid
Yess !
@ShradhaSuman-ud7keno one cares shut it
I loved your Whole script. Absolute to the facts and to the Point. Very well spoken Antara(ending). ❤ Love from PUNE.
So basically if the foreign countries drown, we should too?????
1:46 flame test…
Respected Campire,
I am thankful for your information.
In India, for a Hindu, to practise his religion is deprived.
Even courts failed to assessess the truth and people concerned failed to present facts in the court.
Let God save us.

When did religion say to burst crackers? Child marriage, Sati system was also legal as per religion in olden days. Would you still practice it?
@@anilkumar.m5065very good reply
@@Spri4life sir its the festival of lights not sound. there is literally nothing good that comes from burning your own money to burst stuff.
eating goats / turkey/etc is their food choices...it does not impact you and it isnt a health hazard.
dont other people have the right to live peacefully sans the din and smog created by the crackers ?
diwali is already beautiful without the crackers.
@@Spri4life I didn't even bring up name of any particular religion? And nor pointed out , but the wrong understanding and influence thinking it's a culture.
For the argument, whether bursting crackers is told by geetha?
Hinduism doesn't has just 1 official book, much more vast than that.
My ask is just not follow anything blindly.
For the argument
In the video she clearly tagged animal cruelty to 1 religion, isn't that hypocrisy?
@@anilkumar.m5065I really doubt that you don't even know why and when it started.
It started to protect our women from the Mughals who used to harras them. The women of India at the Mughal period were being kidnapped or openly harassed by the soldiers or the rulers either they are married or unmarried or widow they used to. So to save the women the ghungur pratha for married and unmarried and Johar, Sati pratha for widows. To protect them. Yes I agree that later it became a mindset that women had a compulsion to do this but now it has decreased a lot. Please first go and research don't say anything
Anything leading to air pollution should be avoided if its in our hands, please don't propogate leniency among people who are willing to contribute something to the environment by sacrificing something.
Exactly..I totally agree with you and am strictly against firecrackers.
100%agree. If govt is not able to solve more complex issues, I will not do my bit and make unnecessary arguments.
Exactly.. What you are saying is absolutely correct madam. You are expressed many things which are supposed to be considered. But unfortunately the prime causes are ignoring and everyone focussing on least considerable cause. Media too highlights about Diwali crackers... You are absolutely correct and very informative content madam.. Happy Diwali to one and all.
Shubh Diwali keerti mam 🙏🏻❤
You are right.... 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
teachers in school are making kids to take oath to not to burn crackers. these kids are lost total interest on festivals & making festivals like cristmas as desirable.I studied for 12 in christian school & every year same hypocrisy.
I stopped bursting fireworks for the two main reasons
Pollutio- now that I know that it doesn't affect much(thanks for the video), I would also like to share another reason why I don't celebrate.
It is not a part of our tradition
Fireworks did not exist in the olden days and deepavali is a festival that is being celebrated for ages. Which means that it is a not traditional method of celebrating the beautiful festival of lights. But I don't know how Diwali was actually celebrated. I kindly request you you make a video on that.
exactly...how did this whole craker nonsense come to be seen as a normal way of celebrating a festival of lights is beyond me
Watch rj raunaks latest video on diwali crackers were always the part of the tradition just bursting a myth
@@akshat02 bro crackers came into India in the 19th century
Diwali is 2500++ yr old festival
@@yout1556 bro thats why i said watch rj raunks video on diwali he showed with proofs that carckers existed in india from the 8th centuries and even in holy hinduisim books its mentioned hence burdting crackers is an ancient indian tradition
@@TheBigDaddyStudios the impact of colonial mindset they destroyed our culture there was no need of britishers to introduce in bharat crackers existed in bharat from a long time these britishers took all credit of that was good in bharat and gave everything bad to the bharat
I agree with your points, but one question "Does Deepavali still represents the festival of lights?" For my eyes it seems like it is the festival of smoke more than lights.
sad
Maybe you are living in a wrong city
Where I live it's a marvelous sight

Thankyou from Sivakasian😌♥️
So maturely spoken with a lot of research 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 A lot of content in one video. Much recommended❤. Shubha Deepawali 🪔🪔
The truth that is, Divali is about Victory over Evil, not burning crackers.
Our heart has to be pure from inside not from outside.
What ever you told that is 1000000% right...sad reality that the Leading institutio of justice only focus on Hindu festivals how to stop from celebrating 😢
Don't stop burst crackers. I am going to do it. My neighbours are doing it.
Medam you are the example for knowledge is power, the way you explained the problem and clarified with the valid examples are truly appreciable, keep this good work in track. May God bless you and happy deepawali 😊
Happy Deepavali 🧨
I am a Hindu and am not against Diwali, but our ancestors did not have crackers and they also celebrated Diwali with lamps, so why can't we?
edited ;-ok so after some research i got to know that firecraker used in ancient time also
but still as population in recent time is huge as compare to ancient time so firecrakes do not affect much that time but nowadays on the day of diwali whole india burst crakers which creates large amount of hazardous substance in one night and at the same time winters are there so all the fumes gets stuck in atmosphere which can definetly cause severe problem
at the end we are not totaly quit this but yes we can limit this atleast:)
Please research on History😊
@@XYZ_Shots_Cut ok i didn't know about it can you tell
@@XYZ_Shots_Cutfirecrackers came in India about the Time period of 1400 AD, before that Hindus celebrated without firecrackers
You are absolutely wrong. Firecrackers are mentioned in many Puranas (at least 2500 years old), the paintings of crackers in 1500+ year old temples... do some research before you blabber
@ChidVanhi yes thank you 🙂
i read about this
but still i am on my point and do not support firecrakes 🙂
Love you, Keerthi. Let's keep raising our voices on issues like these 👍🏼❤️
Good evening mam, mam i am very much influenced by your work, and believe me you are the one of the best social media influencer which is spreading the real truth in media 😊😊 keep up the best work😊
If u see in past Diwali how celibrated but now with crackers not only in this festival but all festival now toxic. Can't we celebrate in simple way this is emotion of people not that toxic thing.
Govt should work on what to do with paradi
The fact that India's air is so much polluted😢😢!!😔
That's true sis but scaring the animals is true, people with pets may know that. On another account why would i burn the money i could use that to help thw orphans
Exactly...proud of youu❤
All the points very beautifully explained.Why specifically this festival is only targetted which comes once in a year. This festival is a part of our tradition. An effort has to be done to reach thus video to every indian, Govt etc. All this points should also be highlighted by media and a national debate should be there.
Govt should spend money instead and give all festival bags to orphans and old aged homes to celebrate
Poor Hindus always are gullible due to their kind heart and soft nature put handcuffs to their own and courts.. The appeasing politics of govts and their secretaries do this acts and courts go by what is said..
You come only with those topics that support hindu's, their culture and their beliefs, why not make videos that talk about india , Indian's, and their interests !!?
You are the person that showcases only one side of the story....
You may find this offensive , but whatever, what is true is definitely the truth
Very right dear!
It's inaccurate and unfair to single out Diwali for all pollution-related issues. Similarly, defending the use of crackers is inappropriate. Comparing cigarettes to crackers is a form of whataboutism, as cigarettes primarily affect the user, while crackers contribute to ambient air pollution, impacting everyone. The argument that crackers are only used once a year is not without merit, but their environmental impact cannot be ignored. Our religion encourages respect for the environment, which should guide our actions. It's important to note that crackers hold no significant religious value; their use is primarily driven by personal enjoyment.
Yes dear I totally agree with you ...we all should raise this types of questions....Kudos dear❤

the problem lied in schools too as teachers are teaching main reason are fire crackers as main reason for pollution in Delhi. I remember my class teacher told us to write an essay why should we not burn crackers and she told us many points and our school awarded those students who have green Diwali. I remember when prizes were given, crackers burst in the washroom back to back. thanks to my sst teacher she told us the real reason of it stubborn burning.
This video needs to reach more people
This does not explain how bursting crackers is going to help an already polluted atmosphere. This is just talking about an inefficient government incapable of curbing air pollution. This does not mean that bursting crackers is a righteous thing to do.
Illiterate then why allow plastic trees on Christmas, why allow mass murder of animals increasing methane during islamic festivals. Why fire crackers are burst in new year and any political celebrations or marriage. Why only attack our religion Illiterate?
I appreciate your effort to bring the focus on the harm cause to animals in all kinds of festivals such as Eid, Christmas, Deepavali etc. The vegan community around the world have been advocating about it time and again.
U cracked the subject matter without a single fire cracker ❤Hata off to the content. Happy Diwali bahini. Jai Bhavani 🔥
Kindly mention benefits of crackers.
I'm from Malaysia and my entire city lights up at 12am on Diwali. People here light up firecrackers on Eid, Chinese New Year, Chirstmas and even on independence day. The fireworks display is beautiful and even I, as a 24 year old man still enjoy lighting up firecrackers, teaching my nieces and nephews how to play with them safely and seeing them enjoy it makes me happy. Diwali is literally the festival of lights. Firecrackers are part of the tradition. It's sad to see the people in power in India are actively trying to take that tradition away. One of the things in my bucket list is visit India during Diwali and witness the fireworks and the Indian way of celebrating Diwali in person.
Finally, someone spitting facts ❤
There is no doubt …pollution increases if whole country using fire crackers on a single day… it’s common sense. Don’t pull religious sentiments in this…
Try to stop or minimize the use of fire crackers for ANY festival/celebration.
Yeah exactly!! I'm strictly against fire crackers...it's the bare minimum we can do in today's world...
this diwali instead of spending my money on crackers, i spent my money for poor peoples we prestented them new clothes and bought and present basic things for them and we feed food for some abandoned street dogs and puppies. celebrate diwali by FEEDING POOR PEOPLES 🙏🏼 Love you all.
Yesss exactlyyyyy!!!
We need more people like you in this world who understand the real importance of festival rather than personal want....❤
Totally and whole heartedly agree with you.... you have hit the nail on its head...your concluding line about not taking away the happiness of children is bang on
