Preetam Rai

Babasiga blog has a post on the celebration of RakshaBandhan in Fiji.  The festival is popular in India and it celebrates the love between brothers and sisters. It was introduced in Fiji by Indians who were brought to Fiji in the 19th century by the colonial rulers.  The blogger says “In recent years the sentiment has extended outside the family to friends, irrespective of religion or ethnic group. Now wouldn’t that be nice in Fiji!”
