While the sentiment is nice, I wish the focus was more on the festival's universal message of togetherness and less on political credit. Holi is for everyone, beyond any party lines. Let's keep the spirit of 'Bura Na Mano, Holi Hai' alive.

1,68,000 Holika Dahan locations across UP and all peaceful? That's a massive administrative achievement. Kudos to the local authorities and the people for maintaining harmony. This is the real 'Viksit Bharat' in action.

As someone who celebrated Holi for the first time with Indian friends here in Toronto, it's amazing to see the scale and spiritual depth of the festival back in its homeland. The connection to spring and harvest is something we can all relate to.

Integrating heritage with progress is the need of the hour. It's good to see leaders talking about preserving our ancient festivals while also focusing on development. Holi reminds us to shed old grudges and start fresh – a lesson for society and governance alike.

The gesture at the Gaushala is what touches my heart. In our rush towards modernity, we must not forget these simple, profound acts of dharma. Hope everyone had a safe and joyous Holi filled with genuine connection, not just colours.
