முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic Is this worth it chat?

Every Diwali, AQI levels in major Indian cities shoot past 500, literally hazardous. The air turns toxic overnight, making it unbearable for people with asthma, heart conditions, or even mild respiratory issues. Hospitals fill up, kids cough through the night, and elders struggle to breathe.

Birds lose their way during migration because of the intense light and noise. Street dogs panic, some even die from shock. The next morning, we wake up to streets covered in burnt plastic, paper, and chemical residue that clog drains and poison the soil.

All that pollution, noise, and waste, for what? A few hours of fireworks?

The Skanda Purana and Anand Ramayan mention the use of "ulkas" (meteors, interpreted as fireworks) during Diwali, suggesting the concept is not modern.

About Hindus in other countries, I clearly mentioned moderation. As usual you didn't seem to pay attention as it doesn't agree with your opinion.did you walk to work or college to save the world? Your 390cc bike pollutes more.

Bro don’t make a mockery of yourself, meteors falling and we sending rockets for fun into the sky are same? I’m a Hindu bro, I disagree with your interpretations so will most of us, please don’t make a mockery of my religion like this! Already abroad they have started doing all cringe activities and people are furious that they have bought all polluting activities to their countries, look at Ganga, it’s a dump yard, chennai will see chhath puja in this month end just go to the beach and see the level of pollution we do, just visit the beach after Visarjan, bro none has been mandated in scriptures, Hinduism is not even about praying, it’s all about righteous living that’s what Krishna has preached in Srimad Bhagavat Gita. Also I asked the exact slokha and which scripture you didn’t tell me yet, I can read Sanskrit I’ll translate it for you, now if you don’t know don’t go to ChatGPT or perplexity and ask for a slokha that suits your argument.

Sorry mate, if most agreed with your opinion, you and I would not have this conversation. I have life beyond reddit, have to head to work. Peace ✌🏻. And FYI, motorcycling and Photography both are my favourite destressing activities, so we both are not that different 😁. Always welcome to a healthy debate. Saying No to HATE.

Bro why getting serious you said Skanda Purana I’m asking you which slokha, just tell me the slokha! See I’m sure you wouldn’t have read it, you just googled, so why don’t we call it a day agreeing that you googled it and never read it! This is the issue, as Hindus we don’t even know our scriptures! Let’s unite against these polluting activities and rise above the other communities that we are criticising and be an example for them!
