As much pollution as it causes, and makes it hard for people to get to work the next day, ppl want to have fun and it's something they look forward to. It's also a tradition of the festival itself.

Even in UK - It rains quite heavily once the crackers have been set off the night before on Diwali time and for Guy folks. Diwali is tmrw the 11th right? Actually today I have heard no fireworks go off in my area tonight.


Diwali is tomorrow on 12th. Today is Choti Diwali. smiley1smiley1

Yes, people especially kids do have fun with crackers. Pollution here in North India has many other big causes other than crackers. Banning crackers to control pollution is like putting on a band-aid, hoping it will cure Cancersmiley36 Besides cracker bans don't work. The bursting of crackers has gone down significantly, but tomorrow people will bust crackers to their heart's content. smiley36

With threats against American Jews on the rise, many have begun seeking firearms training and purchasing weapons out of fear for the safety of their communities and families, according to interviews CNN has conducted with gun range operators, firearms instructors and Jews in the US in recent days.

They nominated Modi ji for Grammy? Doubt he'll get it though


Usually they give it to lefty politicians like Al Gore and journalists like Colbert & Jon Stewart etc


From Wikipedia:


Three US Presidents have won the award: Jimmy Carter (three times), Barack Obama (twice) and Bill Clinton. Additionally, recordings of John F. Kennedy and Franklin D. Roosevelt featured prominently in later works which won the award. Four U.S. Senators have won: Barack Obama, Everett Dirksen, Al Franken (won prior to his election), and Hillary Clinton (won while active as First Lady). First Lady Michelle Obama also won the award, while no longer active as First Lady.

So taliban after banning girls education in Afganistan send their daughters to study abroad? Kashmir separatists send their children to study abroad while the local kids are pelting stones following their orders


Hamas leader's & their families live in luxury, spend most of their time abroad but don't want common Gazan people to leave
