The Hindu community celebrate the love between siblings through the festivities of Raksha Bandhan in their homes and temples around Pakistan.
On the day of Raksha Bandhan sisters tie Rakhi on their brother’s wrist to express their love for them. By accepting the Rakhi, a brother gladly takes on the responsibility of protecting his sister. In Hindu tradition a frail thread of Rakhi is considered stronger than iron chains as it binds brothers and sisters in an inseparable bond of love and trust.

Dawn is truly living by the great secular vision of Md. Ali Jinnah who founded Pakistan and the Dawn paper too. Common people too share the same sentiments. Its only a handful minority of some Part-Time-Human individuals in India, Pakistan and rest of the world who create the divisions based religious supremacy.
Dawn keep it up!!!
Thanks Dawn for reminding me the colors of this festivals. It has been straight 11 years I have been getting Rakhi by post.
Thanks Dawn for your fairness in reporting. I always admire your quality journalism. We all have right to live with love and dignity and carry on with our cultural values. A Hindu brother and sister have as much right to express their love as non Hindu.
Nice picutres.
I am thankful to Dawn news for expressing the Hindu festivals – We should understand each other rather than fighting and make the lives more better
Babu i hope all minorities and not only hindue's are protected and i do agree festivals are joyous occasions. Especially hindu festivals so many colors.
Take care
Festivals are joyous occasions. The more variety you have the more colorful the country will be. I hope Pakistani Govt. will see that their Hindu population is protected from all angles, and they live without fear.
Amazing to see these many MUSLIMS in INDIA…….ON Rakhi
Amazing to see these many hindus in Pakistan….
Is this only hindu population or do you have more who are not seen in this pic.
