Indians are known to celebrate every festival. From Diwali to Eid, Christmas to Pateti, every festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm. And Valentine's Day is no different.

However, today the celebration of V-Day is being debated and what's worse is that it is being politcised.

Many leaders feel that V-Day is not a part of Indian culture and exploits our values. But then is it a part of India culture to pollute the air by bursting firecrackers during Diwali and pollute the water during Ganesha immersions?

First, our politicians should regularise these festivals and then oppose a festival, which celebrates love.u00a0
