Absolutely agree!
Religion is a personal thing and a colony/ office/ residential societies should not do a public celebration of such events.
Cultural celebrations are different from religious ones. Former is inclusive.
Diwali, Eid, Christmas etc are culturally celebrated and they bring people together. While religious ones, just exclude. And, in India, currently, this is a very disturbing trend.

Wow! This video may resonate well with a lot of people who are frustrated with colony/community celebrations/WhatsApp Propaganda. Many of my mutuals had mentioned the same challenges. And I'm pleasantly surprised the gentleman, a drama artist, is @laksr_tn best friend & hubby.

I was in 10th grade when the first Kar Seva happened. Our place is close to Ayodhya on the other side of Sarayu. About a couple dozen Kar Sevaks who had come from different places - Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, some from Western UP - lived for days at my parents home. Like many Hindu families who were hosting unknown Kar Sevaks who were stranded because Mulayam govt had shut down everything.
My school, like all schools, was made into a temporary prison by UP police. They would catch and put any incoming Kar Sevaks there. My mother and grandmother like other ladies of the neighborhood would every day cook in large quantities for sending the food there. For several days.
There was police curfew / 144. People could not walk together. I and a friend of mine would go to a shopkeeper’s house, through back-alleys to buy rice, veggies, oil etc. There were continuous Rama Keertanas which could be heard everywhere. From homes, deserted bus and railway stations, and in those temporary prisons.
No newspapers were delivered. Electricity was shut down too so no TV either. All of us, family along with Kar Sevaks, would gather around radio transistor to hear the news. Back then BBC or Voice of America stations were considered more trust worthy to know what was going on.
Some Kar Sevaks would run away from prisons at night. Some staying at our place also would leave determined to go to Ayodhya. Roads were closed. Boatmen could carry them across Sarayu and drop in the outskirt villages from where they could walk to Ayodhya. Locals Kar Sevaks would guide them then come back for next batch. My older cousin was one of them.
I remember one batch from our home left at night. We didn’t have much rations at home - my mom cooked Halwa for them and sent them off by applying Tilak to them with prayers. They spoke broken Hindi.
3O Oct and 2 Nov killings happened, I remember the outrage, sadness, loss. I have kept the Swatantra Bharat of that day.
Today has become a reality because of bravery and sacrifice of countless known and unknown Hindus. It was a freedom movement.

The mob is in our home. They’re your aunts who can’t stand to be around women in burqas, they’re your uncles who gleefully imagine violence, they’re your parents and grandparents who believe India is the land of Hindus alone, they’re YOU if you do nothing to challenge it.

Many middle class Indians felt quite safe in 1992, 2002, that "the mob" were those other people: thugs, lafangas, goondas etc. Little knowing that iin 2024, the middle class would become "the mob". Modi ji hain tho mumkin hain.
