Explanation:
Durga Puja is a celebration. It is the expression of various emotions. It is the festival which celebrates the victory of good over evil, and light over darkness. The city of Kolkata comes to life, as people from all over the country come to be part of the festivities and enjoy the beauty and vivacity of the festival. It’s colourful and vibrant as lights of different colours light up every street and every nook and corner of the city. There is music everywhere, be it religious songs or just the festive drumming and clanging of bells. The mesmerizing idols the goddess Durga, her sons Ganesha and Kartikeya, daughters Lakshmi, and Saraswati, and the epitome of evil, the demon, Mahishasura being attacked by the goddess grip ones attention, as one ponders and marvels the idols. They are dressed in rich colours and ornaments, each feature beautified to its utmost. The streets are suddenly lined with peddlers who sell snacks and sweetmeats, and even meals at neat prices. It is festive. It is holy.
It is also ignorant.
I crossed many localities and couldn’t help noticing that a lot of those drummers, drumming happily and earning wages were barely eleven or ten years old. The person presiding over them, and a fellow drummer was seventeen at the maximum. Most of them were being trained by their own fathers into this profession. I asked a few of them about school, but they giggled as they spilled the fun they had as they patrolled from one locality to another, drumming and collecting money.
As the drums became louder so did my thoughts. The hands that were turning into muscular arms were nothing but ten. The little boys should have been sitting in schools writing and colouring in colouring books. Instead of playing in the Pujas, they were the ones entitled to each of the fruits, and finery placed at the feet of the goddess. As religious as I am, this was a little beyond just belief and religion. It fell easily under child labour, which was being practiced in the name of religious services.
The amount of money which is spent to construct each tent for the Puja, the money showered on the designing according to themes and the money which is actually collected from the people as donation for the religious pomp and show, can actually educate at least twenty children from each locality. Money flows like tap water, and gets absorbed like excess sun on land. The same pockets jingle again, and we see the same children playing the next year. Nothing changes as the vicious cycle only develops. People splurge after the divine, not once stopping to think that the goddess can never be satisfied with riches and glamour. If the large panel of divine energy would only be satisfied with gold and diamonds, then I’m afraid, the divine benefits would only be showered on the handful of individuals resting on pots of gold. But that, my friends doesn’t happen. They too feel the earthquake, and get swept by tsunamis, or lose their roofs to ‘Sandy’ or ‘Neelum’.
Thus one must remember that under each burning lamp, there is darkness.
Hopefully next year the darkness will be won over by light, this time light is symbolical, not halogen lamps.
