Raksha Bandhan is a joyous occasion that celebrates the deep bond of love between siblings. But who said that ‘raksha’ can be done by only a brother? It is important that we refashion the Raksha Bandhan and get out of the mind-set that it is meant to be celebrated only as a bond or vow of a brother to protect sisters.
We live in a time when things are changing in the society, and that too for the better. We are no longer stuck in age-old beliefs that would prove restricting to certain sections of the society. The concept of feminism (gender equality) has gradually seeped into the society, and it has evolved to a point where protection is no more a one-sided entity or an onus on the males. Women are equally capable to protect and safeguard – both physically and emotionally. So, this Raksha Bandhan, let’s find out how do family with only sisters celebrate the festival.
