Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

* Make people to assemble in a place, renew their relation and friendships.
* Also it conveys many message according to the location and habitat of the people.
* If we notice the festival celeberating day we can come out of many messages from it.
* For example we celeberate Goddess Mariyamman festival during summer season with lot
of liquid based foods. These items enables a human being to withstand the hot temperature
by creating chillness in our body. The cool drinks will generate only the temperature
whereas these things generate cooling within our body.
* During the month of october/november most of the hindus will not consume non-veg,
because in these months the weather wil be chill and if we consume non-veg it will take
more time to digest, so only our ancestors created different festival for different climates.
All these festivals are based upon the careness of our body only
