BASANT

BASANT
Basant is basically a festival of Hindus. But now a days, it is celebrated in many countries. Kites are flown on Basant. People of all ages actively participate in it. But young boys, girls and children celebrate it with special zeal and devotion. Preparations for basant are made months in advance. Basant is a famous festival of Lahorties. Thousands of rupees are spent on basant every year. They gather in open places in order to hold kite-flying competitions. Some parties act as rivals. Each party tries to hew the string of the other party. Immense pleasure is felt in hewing the string of the other. People cry aloud "Bo-Kata" throughout the day.

DISADVANTAGES:-

Basant has many disadvantages. Thousands of rupees are spent on this useless activity. Many mishaps are occur on Basant. Limbs of many kite-flyers are broken. Some of them are electrocuted due to use of metallic strings. Many precious lives are lost in indiscriminate firing on Basant Day. We should try to avoid this absurdity.
