AGARTALA, Aug 26 (TIWN): People of Tripura celebrated Rakhi-utsav across State on the occasion of Rakhi Purnima.

Children to Women everyone tied rakhis on the wrists of several jawans of the country and citizens, who in turn pledged for their safety.

It’s important to know how Rabindranath Tagore used Raksha Bandhan as means to prevent 1905 Bengal partition

Following Tagore's call, hundreds of Hindus and Muslims in Kolkata, Dhaka and Sylhet came out in large numbers to tie Rakhi threads as a symbol of unity. Tagore's heartland Santiniketan still follows the tradition and the university students tied Rakhi to neighbours and common people to give a message of harmony.
