>>757359>кoтт loresince you asked here's a fun fact about india
we celebrated Raksha Bandhan (literally translates to Protective Bond/Relation) on 30 August
its a designated day when sisters tie a Rakhi (a decorative string) on their brother's right hand as a reminder of their brotherly duty to protect their sisters
It's been a long-standing tradition to keep familial ties strong infact my dad still gets a rakhi from my aunt who live in a different state
It's also a sorta culural practice women use to definitely signal that they don't see a guy as dating material by tying a rakhi to them (literally a bro zone) without hurting their feelings
I dont have a sister/female cousin on my dad's side and since mum's side are christians they don't celebrate it so i get my rakhi from an old family friend
She's a karate practitioner and even boasts multiple medals from state-level and national tournaments
funnily enough we joke that its she who'll do the protecting if it ever comes down to it
and that concludes my lore dump on indian traditions : DDD
