I don't know why, but I've totally been addicted to Scroll.in videos, be it eco India documentaries or the Morning Fix news. You are awesome guys, please don't turn out like Quint, which I thought to be a good neutral source but has started to show its real color by publishing highly biased and selective news coverage of late!

[@aakansha353]

1. Saving the Ganga 2. Employing the needy 3. Creating eco friendly products While respecting the religion (which is a tough task to do) Now this is what we need today!!

[@aakansha353]

@SS Hinduism is all about respecting nature. The dismantled customs have however changed the orientation. If we worship Ganga , we must also know how to respect her. You don't pile up flowers on your mother , to let her suffocating , just because she is the mother. Yes, there are also sources of pollution and major ones. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can. Even tiny bit of work in right direction is useful when it comes to pollution .

[@aakansha353]

@SS agarbattis didn't even exist thousand years ago. But, clearly you are biased in your opinion . I would like to restrain from arguing.

[@aakansha353]

@SS The incense being used nowadays contain artificial resins . Fumes of these resins are the maleficent. In ancient times they used natural raw materials only. Wake up , because it is the right time. Otherwise there will be no humans (including Hindus) to follow Hinduism. I'll rest my point here.

[@aakansha353]

@SS I got your point and I totally disagree with it. I am a proud Hindu and I don't feel like everyone is against my religion. I know lot of people do feel the same way and clearly you're one of them. My Hinduism has taught me to respect mother nature first , and then humanity. All these customs are secondary. If you'll have an in depth knowledge of your religion, you'll know how these shallow customs destroyed the very essence of our great religion. We need to move back to the ancient Hinduism. Please stop feeling so vulnerable and stop spreading these views to make others feel the same way too.

. Coz chemical free products are relatively expensive & buyers are not many.
