Breaking stereotypes?

Over the years, raksha Bandhan was always about the sisters tying rakhi to their brothers but now things are changing. The very fact that Raksha Bandhan means is to protect each other and celebrate the bond between two people does not only apply to the relationship of brother-sister. Now days, even the brothers are tying rakhi to their sisters, sisters are tying rakhi to each other and celebrating sisterhood. Even husband-wife are tying Rakhi’s to each other, children are tying rakhi to their parents. 

There is a shift in the thinking of people. In a world where we celebrate equality then why not apply it in this case too.

So it doesn’t matter if you have a brother or not, we must celebrate this bond with our loved ones because ultimately it is the festival of bond between 2 people.
