The religious nature of Holi has completely changed with time and it has taken a very bad, kind of hideous, obscene form. On this day, one gets to see the depth of depravity a human being can stoop to “ shouting, abusing, eve-teasing, throwing dirty water balloons, blackening of faces, gambling, drinking alcohol, etc. Blooming trees are cut for obtaining wood for lighting of the fire. Forcefully money is collected from the public for celebrating Holi. These malpractices are harmful to dharma, culture and society. Hindus should be firm and make efforts to stop the above mentioned malpractices.
