What if a simple rakhi once became a symbol of resistance? 🇮🇳
In 1905, when the British partitioned Bengal to deepen religious divisions, Rabindranath Tagore turned Rakshabandhan into something far bigger than a festival.
He encouraged Hindus and Muslims to tie rakhis on each other’s wrists — even strangers — sending a powerful message: you may try to divide us, but we choose unity. 🤝
Thousands joined across Bengal, transforming a thread of protection into a public act of defiance against the British “divide and rule” strategy.
A tiny thread. A massive message. And a chapter of history many people never hear about. 🇮🇳✨
