Why Indians Don't Have One Happy New Year
Hindustan Times Amritsar|December 31, 2024
Around midnight of December 31, when several people in India will sit before their television sets (the rest will be busy at parties), they will invariably be greeted with visuals of places in New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Korea that have already celebrated "Happy New Year", with skylines flaring up in panoramic colours and revellers rocking in sheer joy.

West of us, we will see the massive, glitzy gatherings at Trafalgar Square in London or at Times Square in New York. Many Indians wonder why on earth we can't have one grand Indian New Year, with our great Hindustani euphoria. After all, 1.4 billion Chinese have a single new year, which is extremely colourful and known all over the world.
