Navaratri is a ‘Hindu’ festival celebrated for a variety of reasons that include Devi traya (Sarasvati, Lakshmi, Parvati/Durga), Sundara Kanda Patanam, Temple Utsavams etc. Its religious nature cannot be taken away. Yes, as always, Hindu festivals imbibe musical, dance and cuisine elements in them. I am sure the society in general likes and wants to partake in them. Nothing wrong. But if they believe that our worship of devata murtis is wrong, our scriptures are demoniac, and our practices are to be abhorred, then what is wrong in telling them not to join us in our celebrations? Abusing a religion and enjoying their religious festivals can’t go hand in hand. On one hand, journalists say ‘National Song celebrates Durga, and imposing that, will make religious minorities uncomfortable’ and on the other, they say, ‘Hindu festivals are meant for all.’ Don’t they realise that it is the same Durga here in the festivals as well?
