Mizoram is a Christian majority state that has banned fireworks. Why do White people come to our country and lecture us about one day Hindus celebrating Deepavali in 365 days a year? Please stop this sermons. We appreciate what you do but that doesn't mean you get to lecture us.
Prashant Kishore, if he ever succeeds, will be the slimiest of politicians, making every Hindu caste fight with each other and making sure once again one dominant Hindu caste remains with him along with Muslims. He is bringing back the old formula of electoral engineering in India = 1 Hindu Caste + Muslims = Victory
Keep this slimiest of toads at bay.
Mountains after mountain are being cleared for New Shillong township in Meghalaya but no protest for that.
these guys love money from center but whenever any infra of national security comes up, they start protesting.
Meghalaya have been protesting heavily against
rail connectivity which is crucial for Deployment against Bangladesh border
The Karnataka Home Minister @PriyankKharge has stooped to a new low by making reckless allegations on Sangh for political gains. He has openly blamed Sangh Karyakartas for the murders of Dr. Narendra Dabholkar, M.M. Kalburgi and Smt. Gauri Lankesh, even going to the extent of saying, “Sanghwalon ne maara unko.”
I challenge, If he has evidence, let him place it before the public. Who has been arrested? What are the established links? Did his predecessors as Home Ministers fail to uncover these facts, or is the present Home Minister deliberately trying to implicate and fix someone for political convenience?
Aizawl is a Christian dominated city, so lack of fireworks is not surprising.
My first experience of a "Firecracker Ban" was in Nagaland in 2008.
Firecrackers were allowed in huge numbers during Christmas and New Year the same year.
But was banned for Diwali.
It was just to harass Hindus and non-Tribals.
Neo Buddhists take the following vow before conversion:
"We will neither believe in Shri Rama, nor will we worship Lakshmi Ganesh. We leave Hindu Dharma because it's harmful for humanity."
So question is:
Why does Dipke, a Neo Buddhist, want to celebrate diwali?
@RaizerSays@grok https://t.co/pFL5QbZ9DF Ancient Indians used Saltpetre (Agnichurna), the major constituent of gunpowder, to make firecrackers (ulkah) on Diwali. Indians used Saltpetre (Agnichurna) in mining & warfare. It is mentioned by Kautilya in Arthashastra as a weapon of war 4th century BC
VIDEO | Karnataka: On the demolition of a pond at Shramajeevi Ashram in Sagara taluk of Shivamogga district, theatre personality and social activist Prasanna says, "It is a sad thing that has happened. This is a beautiful pond called Virupakshana Jaddu, meaning Virupaksha's matted hair, where Ganga resides in Lord Shiva's locks. The pond had been damaged and completely broken down. Over the past 12 years, the people of Heggodu have restored it through shramadaan. Now, the government has started demolishing it based on a flimsy complaint filed by a zamindar. They have not verified who the complainant is, followed the High Court's regulations or any of the rules required for demolition. They have not even checked who the encroacher is."

Aizawl is 95% christian, Caleb. Hardly a flex.
Not to mention that they have banned firecrackers via The Mizoram Regulation of Fireworks Act, 2026
Plenty of other hill town in HP and Uttarakhand too have good AQI today. Sit down
Mizos are quite a cohesive society with a very tight-knit community sense - be it firecrackers or any other issue.
Possibly one of the most culturally distant states from the rest of India? It's also hard to follow Mizo news & trends since everyone types in Mizo, not English.
The deep community sense also comes at a price of being 'conformative' with the society, or face silent exclusion (not hostility).
P.S - Correct me if I'm wrong, these are just my observations. And don't turn this into a comment war.
