Good to see the CM participating. But I hope this isn't just for the cameras. The real work is ensuring these traditions are taught in schools and supported at the community level year-round.

The part about it being a collective responsibility is so true. We can't just leave it to the government. As parents, we must teach our kids these songs and customs. Bas yunhi photo ops nahi, asli mehnet chahiye.
