Holi is a festival of colours, of joy, of community. But it is also a festival where boundaries are often crossed under the guise of celebration. This year, let us talk about consent. Let us talk about the right to say no to colours, to water, to unwanted touch.
Celebration should never come at the cost of someone's comfort or safety. Towards a consensual Holi, where joy and respect go hand in hand.
