In Nepal, meanwhile, winter has begun soon. By the end of the festivals, cold breezes had started the winter, hadn't it?
No matter how, now the Mangsir month has started, warm welcome to all in the Mangsir of 2081 BS.
This month is full of weddings, vows and other auspicious occasions. Clothing stores or gold shops are crowded. Wedding carriages and the joyous participation of the people on the streets, the sound of bands and panche baja with songs are seen often. From today the Sun enters Brischik from Tula, hence today is also called Brischik Sakranti. In the Hindu calendar, there are 12 Sankrantis of 12 months in total and today is the eighth Sankranti of this year.
Stay warm, stay happy and enjoy the day.
International Day of Tolerance
Background
International Tolerance Day is a day declared by UNESCO to raise public awareness of the dangers of disagreement, misunderstanding, and intolerance around the world since 1996. Today, UNESCO organizes various conferences and events every year on the occasion of this day of 16th November. At such events, there is a serious discussion about the promotion of tolerance and non-violence.
Reason behind establishing International Day for tolerance
International Tolerance Day was established as the UN International Day for Tolerance in 1995 in response to the racial and religious wars in Bosnia and Rwanda. It was designed to educate people about the need for tolerance in society and to help them understand the potentially devastating results if a society fosters and feeds off bigotry and intolerance.
All over the world, modernization is bringing about profound changes in societies. This is opening up huge opportunities for communication and exchange. At the same time, it raises new challenges, such as inequality and poverty. Now that we see the debate over the rise and fall of immoral politics and dividing strategies in various places, we are now rejecting diversity as a source of weakness.
