A Holi Day in India

By Linda Tancs

On 20 March Indians celebrate the festival of Holi, a celebration of ancient origin marking the triumph of good over evil.  On this day, people hug and wish each other ‘Happy Holi’.  They also are awash in color, using water jets to spray buckets full of color water on each other or rubbing on colored powders–the tradition of playing colors.  Holi is the great equalizer, all class distinctions dissolving into colored water.  Every day should be a holi day.
