ICET 2012
The ritual of Raksha Bandhan is beyond religion or blood relations. The
Mughal king Humayun was tied the Rakhi by Rajput queen Karnavati of
Chittor. Humayun upheld the honour of the Rakhi and protected her
kingdom in need. Alexander’s wife had tied the sacred thread to king
Puru’s wrist. As a sign of love returned, Puru did not hurt Alexander.
Krishna’s affection against Draupadi’s sisterly love string saved her
from being insulted by the Kauravas. The promise of the Rakhi has been
fulfilled forever.
