💭 Harrowing video has captured the moment a footbridge in India collapsed, killing at least 141 people celebrating Diwali. WARNING: Distressing
😠😠😠 ዋይ! ዋይ! ዋይ! 😢😢😢
Very Sad, indeed!
👉 Death toll rises to 141, many still missing
At least 141 people died when a pedestrian suspension bridge collapsed in India’s western state of Gujarat.
A local official said most of those who had died were women, children or elderly. The bridge in Morbi had been reopened just a week ago after repairs.
There was overcrowding on the bridge at the time as people celebrated the Diwali festival, officials said.
The 230m (754ft) bridge on the Machchu river was built during British rule in the 19th Century.
The death toll is expected to rise further.
Police, military and disaster response teams were deployed and the rescue effort is continuing.
More than 177 people have been rescued so far, officials said.
“Many children were enjoying holidays for Diwali and they came here as tourists,” an eyewitness called Sukram told Reuters news agency.
“All of them fell one on top of another. The bridge collapsed due to overloading.”
Videos on social media showed dozens clinging onto the wreckage as emergency teams attempted to rescue them. Some survivors clambered up the bridge’s broken netting, and others managed to swim to the river banks.
Reports said several hundred people were on the bridge when it collapsed at around 18:40 India time (13:10 GMT) on Sunday.
A video shot before the collapse showed it packed with people and swaying and many gripping the netting on its sides.
Gujarat is the home state of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has announced compensation for the families of victims. He said he was “deeply saddened by the tragedy”.
The authorities have promised a full investigation. Questions are being asked about whether safety checks were done before the bridge was reopened. It is a popular tourist attraction known locally as Julto Pul (swinging bridge).
Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi said a number of criminal cases had been registered over the incident.
Prateek Vasava was on the bridge at the time of the incident. He told 24 Hours Gujarati-language news channel how he had swum to the river bank.
Several children fell into the river, he said, adding: “I wanted to pull some of them along with me but they had drowned or got swept away.”
Videos showed scenes of chaos as onlookers on the river banks tried to rescue those trapped in the water as darkness fell.

👹 ሃሎዊን + ዲዋሊ = ሃሎዋሊ
☆ ከቀናት በፊት ደቡብ ኮሪያ እና ሃሎዊን ነበሩ ፥ ዛሬ ደግሞ ህንድ እና ዲዋሊ ናቸው።

እናስታውስ፣ ‘ሃሎዊን’ ‘የዲዋሊ’ ምዕራባዊ አቻ ነው።
ወቅቱ አስፈሪ ነው እና ሁሉም ሰው ለታቀደላቸው የቤት ግብዣዎች በጣም ጓጉቷል። በሰይጣን አምላኪዎች ዘንድ ሃሎዊን የዓመቱ ምርጥ ቀን ነው። ለምዕራቡ የዓለም ክፍል፤ ከገና በዓል በኋላ፤ ተወዳጅ እየሆነ የመጣ በዓል ነው።
ግን በህንድ ስለ ዲዋሊ የሚታወቀው ነገር ምንድነው?
ደህና ፣ በመልበስ። ህንዶች መግዛትና መልበስ ይወዳሉ ፤ እንግዲህ ምዕራባውያኑንም ሕንዱንም አንድ የሚያደርጓቸው ሁለቱ ነገሮች እነዚህ ናቸው፤ መግዛትና መልበስ። ዲዋሊ በህንድ ውስጥ ትልቅ በዓል የሆነበት ምክንያት አንዱ ይህ ነው። ዲዋሊ ወይም የብርሃናት በዓል በሂንዱይዝም አምልኮ ዘንድ በጣም ተወዳጅ ከሆኑት በዓላት አንዱ ነው። እሱም መንፈሳዊውን “የብርሃን ድል በጨለማ፣ በክፉ ላይ መልካም እና በድንቁርና ላይ እውቀትን” ያመለክታል ይባላል።
ይህችን ከየት ነው የሰማናት? የሚታወቅ ይመስላል፤ አይደል? ታዲያ ከሃሎዊን ጋር ትንሽ አይመሳሰልምን?
ብዙ ሰዎች ሃሎዊን የዲዋሊ ምዕራባዊ አቻ ነው ብለው ያምናሉ ፥ ባሕሉ የመጣው ከጥንታዊው የሴልቲክ የሳምሃይን በዓል ሲሆን ሰዎች እሳት በማንደድ ሲያበሩ እና መናፍስትን ለማስወገድ ልብስ መልበስ ይወዱ ነበር። በስምንተኛው ክፍለ ዘመን የሮማው ርዕሰ ሊቃነ ጳጳሳት ጎርጎርዮስ ሣልሳዊ በፈረንጆቹ ኅዳር ፩ (ነገ) ቀን ቅዱሳን ሁሉ የሚከበሩበት ጊዜ እንዲሆን ሰይመውት ነበር። ብዙም ሳይቆይ “የሁሉም ቅዱሳን ቀን” አንዳንድ የሳምሃይንን ወጎች አካትቷል። በፊት የነበረው ምሽት ሁሉም ሃሎውስ ሔዋን እና በኋላ ሃሎዊን በመባል ይታወቅ ነበር። ከጊዜ በኋላ፣ ሃሎዊን እንደ ማታለል ወይም ማከም፣ ጃክ-ላንተርን መቅረጽ፣ የበዓል ስብሰባዎች፣ አልባሳትን ወደ መለገስ እና ምግቦችን ወደ መመገብ ተግባራት ተለወጠ።
ነገር ግን የሁለቱ በዓላት ወጎች እና ሥርዓቶች በጣም ተመሳሳይ ስለሆኑ ችላ ለማለት አስቸጋሪ ነው። ከዲዋሊ ምሽት በፊት ሰዎች ቤታቸውን እና ቢሮዎቻቸውን ያጸዳሉ፣ ያድሳሉ እና ያጌጡታል። እና በዲዋሊ ምሽት ሰዎች አዲስ ልብስ ገዝተው ወይም ምርጥ ልብሳቸውን አውጥተው ይለብሳሉ፣ ከቤታቸው ውጭም ሆነ ከውስጥ ዲያዎችን ያበራሉ፣ ይጸልያሉ፣ በተለይም ‘ላክሽሚ’ ለተባለችው የመራባት እና የብልጽግና አምላካቸው።

ሃሎዊን ፣ በተወሰነ መልኩ ተመሳሳይ ገጽታን ይከተላል ፤ ሰዎች በዓሉ ከመድረሱ በፊት ቤታቸውን ያፀዳሉ ፣ ያጌጣሉ ፣ ጣፋጮችን ይለዋወጣሉ እና እንደ አስማት ወይም ምርኢተ-ጥበብ ባሏቸው ሌሎች የጨዋታ ተግባራት ውስጥ ይሳተፋሉ ። ልክ እንደ ርችቶች ያሉትን ነገሮች ይተኩሳሉ፣ እንደ ደመራ የመሳሰሉ እሳቶችን ይለኩሳሉ በዙሪያውም ይዘምራሉ፣ ያወራሉ፤ ብሎም መብራቶችን በማብራት የሙታንን ህይወት ያከብራሉ።
ይህ ቀላል መላምት ሊሆን ይችላል፣ ነገር ግን የሁለቱ በዓላት የሚከበሩባቸው ቀናት መገጣጠሙና የብዙ ነገሮቻቸው ተመሳሳይነት በጣም የሚያስገርም ነው። እርስ በርስ በጣም ይቀራረባሉ እና በተመሳሳይ መንገድ ይከበራሉ ምናልባትም ህንድ አሁን ሃሎዊንን እንደ ንዑስ ባህሏ አካል ያደረገችበት ምክንያት ይህ ሊሆን ይችላል።
ያም ሆነ ይህ፣ አንዳንድ ባህሎች በትክክል እርስ በርስ ሳይጋጩ ሲዋሃዱ ማየት ያስገርማል። እና ሁለቱንም በዓላት ማክበር መቼም ቢሆን ተስፋ አይቆርጥም ምክንያቱም ሁለቱም በጣም ማራኪ እና ብዙ ሰው ሊያታልሉ የሚችሉ ሰይጣናዊ በዓላት ናቸውና።
አዎ!

My Note: ☆ Halloween = Oromo Ireecha = Thanksgiving
☆ ሃለዊን = ኢሬቻ = ምስጋና (ለደም ግብር)
👹 Halloween + Diwali = Hallowali
☆ Days ago it was South Korea & Halloween – and today it’s India & Diwali.
South Koreans were inviting satan’s attack by celebrating satanic Halloween rituals – Indians were doing the same by celebrating satanic Diwali
Let’s rembeber, Halloween is just the Western equivalent of Diwali.
It’s spooky season and everyone is way too excited for the house parties that they have scheduled. Halloween is the best day of the year, for the Western part of the world – after Christmas, of course.
But what’s the hype about in India?
Well, dressing up. Indians love to shop and dress up – the two things that unite us all together. It’s also part of the reason Diwali is such a huge festival in India. Diwali or the Festival of Lights is one of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, it symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.”
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe a little similar to Halloween?
A lot of people believe that Halloween is the western equivalent of Diwali – the tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.
But the traditions and formalities of the two holidays are so similar it’s hard to ignore. Before Diwali night, people clean, renovate, and decorate their houses and offices. And on Diwali night, people dress up in new clothes or their best outfits, light up diyas inside and outside their house, pray, typically to Lakshmi — the goddess of fertility and prosperity.
After the pooja, there’s fireworks, and then a family feast with a whole lot of mithais, and an exchange of gifts between family members and close friends.
Halloween, follows in somewhat the same fashion – people clean the house before the holiday arrives, decorate the house, exchange sweets and take part in other activities like trick or treating. Just like the firecrackers, on Halloween people put up huge bonfires and sing and talk around it, put up lights and celebrate the lives of the dead.
This could just be simple speculation, but the similarities in the dates is also eerie – they fall so close to each other and are celebrated in such a similar way that maybe that’s the reason India has now adopted Halloween as a part of its subculture.
Either way, it’s interesting to see that some cultures integrate without actually colliding with one another. And celebrating both the holidays is never going to be a let down because both of them are such fun, interesting holidays.
Yeah!
