Raksha Bandhan in Kashmir: A Festival That Travelled with People

Raksha Bandhan arrives every year with the full moon of Shravan, carrying with it a simple yet profound messagethe bond of protection, affection and responsibility between human beings. Across India, the festival is most commonly associated with the relationship between a brother and sister. A sister ties the sacred thread around her brothers wrist, offers a prayer for his well-being, and the brother, in return, promises to stand by her. Yet, like many Indian festivals, Raksha Bandhan has meanings that go far beyond the ritual itself. For the Kashmiri Pandit community, its significance is inseparable from the memories of a homeland where festivals were woven into the ordinary fabric of life. Yes, Kashmiri Pandits did observe Raksha Bandhan in Kashmir. It was not necessarily among the most prominent festivals of the Kashmiri Hindu calendar in the manner of Herath, Navreh or other distinctly Kashmiri observances, but Shravan Purnima and the sacred-thread tradition were familiar parts of religious and family life. The celebration existed within the larger spiritual culture of Kashmir, where festivals were rarely merely social occasions. They were expressions of faith, family, community and continuity. For a Kashmiri Pandit growing up in the Valley, the festival would not have stood apart from the rhythms of everyday life. The house, the courtyard, the neighbourhood and the extended family were all part of the celebration. Festivals were experienced collectively. Relatives visited one another, children moved from house to house, elders blessed the younger generation, and food became another language through which affection was expressed. The ritual itself might have been brief, but the emotions surrounding it could remain in the memory for decades. This is what makes the recollection of Raksha Bandhan particularly moving for those Kashmiri Pandits who left the Valley. Migration did not merely mean leaving behind houses, orchards, fields and ancestral property. It also meant leaving behind a particular way of celebrating life. Festivals had been attached to places. A particular courtyard had witnessed a particular Raksha Bandhan. A sister had tied a rakhi to her brother in a room whose walls had absorbed generations of family conversations. An elderly grandmother had blessed the children. A mother had prepared something special for the occasion. A neighbour had arrived unannounced. These seemingly insignificant moments eventually became the fragments from which the memory of an entire homeland was reconstructed. This is perhaps the deeper meaning of festivals in the life of a displaced community. When people lose their physical landscape, rituals often become their portable homeland. A festival can travel where a house cannot. A prayer can survive when an ancestral courtyard has been abandoned. A family tradition can cross mountains and generations without requiring a piece of land. Raksha Bandhan therefore acquired an additional emotional dimension for many Kashmiri Pandit families after their migration. It became not simply a celebration of the brother-sister relationship but also a reminder of the world that once existed around that relationship. The thread tied on a brothers wrist could evoke memories of a Kashmir that had been left behind. There is an important distinction, however, between the traditional observance of Raksha Bandhan among Kashmiri Pandits and the highly commercialised version of the festival that has become increasingly visible in contemporary India. In Kashmir, the sacred-thread tradition existed within a religious and cultural framework shaped by the unique practices of Kashmiri Hindu society. The modern rakhiwith elaborate gifts, advertisements, social-media celebrations and commercial packagingis only one contemporary expression of a much older tradition. The word raksha itself carries a meaning far deeper than the exchange of gifts. Protection is not necessarily a one-way obligation from brother to sister. In the older civilisational understanding, protection is reciprocal. Families protect one another; communities protect their traditions; elders protect memories; and younger generations protect what has been handed down to them. A sacred thread can therefore become a symbol of responsibility rather than merely a decorative object. This understanding becomes particularly meaningful in the Kashmiri Pandit context. A community that experienced displacement had to protect something more fragile than property: its collective memory. Language, rituals, cuisine, religious practices, festivals, family stories and ancestral memories all became part of a cultural inheritance that needed to be carried forward. The Kashmiri Pandit calendar itself contains many distinctive festivals and observances that developed within the Valley's particular cultural environment. Herath, for example, occupies an extraordinary place in Kashmiri Pandit consciousness. Navreh marks the Kashmiri New Year and carries associations with renewal and continuity. There are numerous other observances connected with particular seasons, deities and local traditions. Raksha Bandhan therefore should not be presented as though it historically occupied exactly the same position in Kashmiri Pandit life as it did in every other part of northern India. Its place was real, but its cultural expression was shaped by Kashmir's own religious universe. What is remarkable is how such traditions survived geographical separation. A child who grew up in Jammu, Delhi, Dehradun or another city after migration could still participate in Raksha Bandhan without ever having experienced the Kashmir of his or her parents. The festival thus became a bridge between generations. Parents could tell their children how festivals were observed in Kashmir. Grandparents could recall relatives who were no longer there. Old photographs could emerge from cupboards. Names of villages and neighbourhoods could become part of family conversations. In this manner, a simple thread could become an instrument of remembrance. The younger generation may not always understand the emotional weight carried by such memories. For them, Raksha Bandhan may simply mean a rakhi, sweets, gifts and a family gathering. But for those who remember Kashmir before migration, the festival can contain another layer of meaning. It can take them back to a time when distance between relatives was measured not in hundreds of kilometres but in a short walk from one house to another. There is also a wider lesson here about Kashmiri culture. Kashmir has often been described through its mountains, lakes, gardens, poetry and mysticism. But the real culture of a people resides equally in its small ritualsthe way a lamp is lit, the way elders are greeted, the food prepared on a particular day, the words spoken during a ceremony, and the manner in which one generation passes something to another. When people are displaced, these small things become enormously important. A culture does not disappear simply because its people leave a particular geographical space. It disappears when its memories cease to be transmitted. This is why the continuation of festivals among Kashmiri Pandits matters. Every observance becomes an act of cultural preservation. Every child who learns why a festival is celebrated becomes a link in a chain that stretches backwards into history. Raksha Bandhan, in this sense, can be seen as one of those threadsnot merely the thread tied around the wrist, but the invisible thread connecting generations. It connects the sister with the brother, the child with the parent, the present with the past, and the displaced family with the homeland that continues to live in memory. There is something profoundly poetic about this. The physical thread is small and fragile. It can be broken with almost no effort. Yet the idea represented by it can survive decades of separation. A house can be locked. An orchard can be abandoned. A village can become distant. But a ritual remembered by a family can continue to exist. For Kashmiri Pandits, therefore, Raksha Bandhan is not only about asking who will protect whom. It can also prompt a larger question: who will protect the memories of the culture that our ancestors entrusted to us? Perhaps the answer lies with every generation. The brother and sister who exchange a rakhi today may not know all the stories associated with the festival's past. But if they preserve the ritual, tell their children about it, remember how their parents celebrated it and connect it with the wider cultural heritage of Kashmir, they are doing something far greater than observing a festival. They are keeping alive a fragment of a civilisation. And perhaps this is why festivals become especially precious after displacement. In one's homeland, traditions can sometimes be taken for granted because they surround us everywhere. In exile, their value becomes clearer. A festival becomes a doorway through which one can briefly return to a lost world. Raksha Bandhan will once again arrive with the full moon of Shravan. Sisters will tie threads, brothers will offer gifts, families will gather and sweets will be exchanged. But for many Kashmiri Pandits, somewhere beneath these familiar celebrations there may also be another, quieter ritualthe remembering of Kashmir. A Kashmir of homes, courtyards, grandparents, siblings, neighbours and festivals. A Kashmir that may have been left physically behind, but which continues to live in memory. And perhaps that is the most enduring raksha of all:the protection of memory itself. (The writer can be reached at: sanjaypanditasp@gmail.com )

Most Important Thing Is To Get The Right People: Steve Waugh On Building Amsterdam Flames From Scratch

European T20 Premier League: Former Australia captain Steve Waugh is embracing a new challenge in T20 cricket as co-owner of the Amsterdam Flames, with the inaugural European T20 Premier League set to begin and the Australian great keen to see how a franchise built from the ground up performs in its first season. Waugh, who is experiencing the franchise side of T20 cricket from close quarters for the first time, said the process of putting together the Amsterdam-based side has reinforced the importance of having the right personnel, structure and preparation in place. It's fascinating for me to be involved in T20 cricket. I haven't really been up close and personal to it before. And I'm looking at the way the guys are training, and their tactics and the execution of their practices is really great to watch. So, I'm really enjoying it. But yeah, building a franchise is similar to building any team. You've got to get the right people. You've got to get the right structure. You've got to have a formulated plan. Preparation is really important. The most important thing is to get the right people. And so, that's what we really concentrated on when we built the team, the Amsterdam Flames, from scratch. We wanted people with good character, people who could work together. But obviously, you need talent as well. So, if you get all those things coming together with good management, then there's a chance of being successful, Waugh told JioStar. For Waugh, the appeal of the project extends beyond the opportunity to work with established international names. The Flames squad includes the likes of Steve Smith, Tim David and Ajinkya Rahane, but it is the prospect of lesser-known players making their mark that has particularly caught his attention. This is the first season, so it's very important to get the first season established and for it to be successful. There's some amazing cricket players here, and I've no doubt that the cricket that is going to be played will be of a high standard. So, I think it's got a huge chance of being successful. You'll see some superstars emerge. I'm just watching a young Canadian opening batsman hit the ball unbelievably well, and he's ready to showcase his skills on the world stage. That's what excites me. You have players of the calibre in our team, of the likes of Steve Smith, Tim David and Ajinkya Rahane, and then they're playing alongside these relatively unknown players from the rest of the world. They're going to be fast-tracking their progress. They'll have a blueprint for success. And you're going to see some names come out of this tournament that you've never heard before, but they're going to be potential superstars, Waugh added. The inaugural ETPL will provide a new platform for players from established cricketing nations to share a dressing room with emerging talent from less-established cricketing countries. Waugh believes that interaction could become one of the tournament's defining features. For the Amsterdam Flames, the immediate priority will be establishing a competitive identity and creating an environment in which experienced players can help develop those still seeking recognition on the international stage. The inaugural ETPL will provide a new platform for players from established cricketing nations to share a dressing room with emerging talent from less-established cricketing countries. Waugh believes that interaction could become one of the tournament's defining features. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories With the ETPL entering uncharted territory in its maiden season, Waugh sees the competition as a potential launching pad for a new generation of T20 cricketers, players who could emerge from relative obscurity and use the tournament as their first major step towards the global stage.
