on this issue. We have planned to increase the income of the
poor. If during this two-day fest, people eat undhiyu-jalebi, buy
things like paper caps, cheap plastic goggles. The festival could
provide an opportunity to develop several businesses worth
crores of rupees. In this way, we can be united by kites. We
want to have a modern approach towards the kite business. We
can compile some kite songs to encourage their exports. We can
increase sales by composing new songs every year. We want to
introduce the kite business to the world market. There are
around 70% women in this business. We should think about
how we can help these women in other ways. We can organize
some events for their health and education. The State
Government has decided to ponder over this issue. This is
perhaps the only festival that is beyond the discrimination of
religion or caste. A person of any religion makes, flies, cuts and
loots the kites. There is big strength in kites. Even a
multimillionaire flies it, fights for it and cuts it from his terrace,
and grabs the kite passing from his terrace. That is the joy of
flying kites.
