Today is Diwali, the biggest Hindu Festival and modern day Hindu Fascists have brainwashed people into killing themselves by burning billions of crackers in a single night.
The air is quite literally unbreathable and looks white. Yet people won't stop burning crackers. No one wears a mask btw.
Hinduism is easily the most destructive religion on Earth right now, the pollution generated from rituals and festivals is unimaginable. As an ex-Hindu, this casteist piece of shit religion is a bane on Indian society actively working against the betterment of the Indian people. I wish the Communists in India actually had the balls to do a revolution in the 1950s and we wouldn't be in this mess.
No, I mean heavily unregulated and polluting fireworks that put vast quantities of heavy metals into the air for months.
ok that makes a lot more sense to me, thanks. i was trying to figure out how the kind i posted could possibly do that kind of damage. yeah fireworks are fucking ass, absolutely annihilating the air quality.
Is there a specific religious significance to the fireworks or is it just a thing people have made a (catastrophic) tradition out of?
Not really. Fireworks were imported to India from China by Muslim rulers. It eventually morphed into this shitshow of a festival.
The original tradition was to light these things (called deepaks)
But now it has been turned into madness, because ... Idk. And people refuse to change their habits because how dare you tell a dehlite what to do?
