The Firecracker Solution
My Question this Week
The key issue, the festival season is quite a damp one without all that dhoom dhadaka. And if you don’t agree you are probably a Nehruvian westernized leftist non-liberal.
Another point, a WhatsApp conversation informed me that this was a part of my heritage. I doubt it. History does not record this well, but firecrackers probably came into India with Islam, before that Diwali must have been purely what it's called – deep-awali. Of course, these days history is being rewritten and some proof of rocket and bomb use might come up. But I doubt Indians had any knowledge of gunpowder pre-Islamic invasions, there would have been no way those rockets and bombs would have allowed any of that invasion.
