As far as we remember, this never happened until this year – Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan are both today, 15th August.
Lula Bari girls celebrated Independence Day by raising the flag on their new pink roof while the boys (led by Sunil of course) also raised the Indian flag.
Then as Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of any brother-sister like relationship everyone exchanged rakhi, the beautiful bracelets that are given to sisters and brothers to show your love and respect.
Definitely a day of devotion for everyone at shuktara – to India and to each other!
