I have no issues celebrating all festivals & I do but my focus here is how our festivals are being made BORING
Now they go to our weddings
Now they are targeting one of the most EMOTIONAL moment in any marriage - the kanyadaan ceremony

where the father gives “the apple of his eye “, “ his Jigar ka tukda”, to another man
For a father, no man is ever good enough for his daughter becoz of the special place his daughter has in his life (shown so beautifully in the movie - Father of the bride )

Don’t Jews & Xtians “give away their daughters” in marriage as they walk down the aisle & hand over their daughter’s hand to the groom ?
The ritual of Kanyadaan is ripe with deep religious symbolisms.
According to the original scriptures, Kanyadaan was always a moral concept

According to the original scriptures, Kanyadaan was always a moral concept
The parents of the bride asking the husband to promise (that) his family will respect, love & care for the girl like their own
It was about the groom publically accepting the bride & making a promise to respect her and treat her EQUAL (ardhangini ) in all manners

The groom is considered a representation of Lord Vishnu all through the wedding, and during Kanyadaan the parents are offering their daughter, a considerable piece of their existence, to him
This is considered to be the greatest offering one can present to the Supreme Being and it is believed that upon Kanyadaan, the parents of the bride are absolved of all their earthly sins, and are said to attain moksha, relief from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
It is emphasized during the ritual, that the parents are entrusting him with the most precious ‘gift’ in this world
It is expected of him that he will always take care of his wife, their daughter, respect her and keep her happy in every way possible.

A Kanyadan is one of the most emotional moment between a father & a daughter where he’s giving a piece of his heart to another man
So let’s WAKE up these WOKESwho are misrepresenting a very beautiful emotional ritual in our culture
Kanyadaan is beautiful ¬ an insult to women
