SPREAD the MESSAGE--"Beti Hai Anmol"--female infanticide.

India is full of culture & tradition, and is well known for its incredible festivals based on seasons that celebrate various occasions throughout the year. India is a diverse country with a variety of religions and languages across the land, but in-spite of these differences, India is thought of as one because of the festivals that teach lessons about unity to the people. Festivals are so common because the majority of Indian people believe that if we approach everything in a celebratory way, we learn to be non-serious about life and become absolutely involved.
