This fight is not just ours – Kumari Selja

Let us inform you that Haryana assembly elections will be held on October 5. Whereas, the counting of votes will be held on October 8. Earlier this date was October 1 and 4 but the Election Commission has changed it. Giving the reason behind this, the commission clarified that this decision has been taken to respect both the voting rights and traditions of the Bishnoi community. The Bishnoi community has maintained the centuries-old tradition of participating in the Asoj Amavasya festival. They celebrate the festival in the memory of their guru Jambeshwar on that day.
