Raksha Bandhan 2023: Raksha Bandhan, the biggest festival of brother-sister relationships, is being celebrated on 30 and 31 August 2023 this year. It is clear from the name of Raksha Bandhan itself, such a bond or relationship should be tied in the Raksha Sutra. On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, sisters tie rakhi on their brother's wrist. Instead of Rakhi, the brother takes the promise of protecting his sister. Only a brother does the work of helping a sister in every trouble, supporting her in her happiness and sorrow.
However, in today's era, protection means banning the sister, stopping her, refusing to go out of the house alone, and only restricting her clothes. But while fulfilling the duty of Rakhi, every brother should adopt some other methods to protect his sister. From this festival of Rakhi, every brother should start doing these five things for his sister, so that the relationship between them can be strengthened and the sister can be safe even in the absence of the brother.
Teach self-defense skills to sister
Every girl should know the qualities of self-defense. Brother cannot be with sister all the time. Ongoing from school-college to office and after marriage, the sister goes away from her brother. On such an occasion, the sister will have to protect herself. So teach brothers and sisters about self-defense. Get the sisters enrolled in karate and boxing classes, so that they can avoid any stranger danger.
Increase sister's confidence
Often girls are afraid to learn, express their views openly in front of others, or do many small and big things. This is because they lack self-confidence. Girls may be physically weak but every brother needs to make his sister physically strong as well as mentally strong. Increase sister's confidence. Let them know that you are always with them. Let the sister know outside alone, let her do her work, and let her meet outsiders so that her confidence increases.
Support sister in decision
Most of the girls' life decisions are taken by the father or brother first and the husband after marriage. In every major decision of a girl what to wear, where and what to study, job, and then marriage, parents interfere more than them. Brothers who promise to protect should also protect the rights of their sisters. Let the sister's life decisions be taken by her herself. Teach them to make decisions and support them in their decisions so that even when you are not around, they can fearlessly decide which way to take their life.
Don't stop your sister
Every brother is worried about his sister. To save the sister from society, often the brothers put restrictions on her. With this, you do not protect the sister but imprison her. The sister cannot go out alone, come home late, make friends as she pleases, or wear her favorite clothes without a dupatta, as she may be in danger. Get over this kind of thinking. It is wrong to impose various restrictions on sisters to protect them.
Make sister self-reliant
Every brother should make his sister self-reliant. Instead of depending on your father, brother or husband, learn to stand on your own feet in life. Like if your sister is dependent on you to go to college or the office then teach her to drive a scooty or car and encourage her to go alone. If the sister helps in household chores with the mother at home, then encourage her for studies and job. Make sister financially independent as well
