Raksha Bandhan: In the 21st Century

Origin: Indra's fight with Vritra - Indra, the king of devtas (gods), had lost his kingdom to the asura (demon) Vritra. At the behest of his Guru Brihaspati, Indra's wife Shachi tied a thread around her husband's wrist to ensure his victory in the upcoming duel.

The Friendly Knot
It won’t be wrong to say the fashionable friendship band in vogue today is an extension of the Rakhi custom. When a girl feels a friend of the opposite sex has developed a kind of love too strong for her to reciprocate, she sends the guy a Rakhi and turns the relationship into a sisterly one. This is one way of saying, "let’s just be friends", without hurting the other person's soft feelings for her.

Social Anomaly
Women society still needs her brothers to protect her from her husband or if she still looks at the face of brother to get help, this shows nothing but the lack of confidence & sense of inferiority complex caused by society only.

Conclusion and Question:
Raksha Bandhan what is its purpose it does not always signify the existence of a chaste relationship between two individuals of the opposite sex, Has it been reduced to jst a thread that is tied for namesake?

I ask this question to all What has Raksha Bandhan been reduced to in the 21st century?
