As the world faces the challenges of war mongering and the crisis of basic needs, culturally‐rich India is celebrating a myriad of festivals to keep the human spirit alive ̶ Durgashtmi, Ram Navami, Mahavir Jayanti, and Hanuman Jayanti ̶ focusing on victory over evil, devotion, and virtue, just after celebrating Eid al‐Fitr. Soon, Baisakhi, the harvest festival of fervor and vibrancy, will herald next month. The team at The South Asian Times wishes its readers happy festivities.
