The story of an Indian with a colored rope on his wrist

I have worked in India for a few years, and of course I have found that the colored rope worn on the wrist of an Indian male colleague is very similar to the colored thread worn by Chinese on the wrist of the Dragon Boat Festival to ward off evil spirits.

One day in August, several male colleagues did not go to work, saying that they had gone to the Color Rope Festival, or Brother and Sisters' Day. They were also in their mid-forties, and I specifically asked them about the holiday.

At the Festival of Colored Rope, no matter how far the married sisters marry, the brothers have to trek thousands of mountains and rivers to visit their sisters at the home of the married sisters and let the sisters tie the colored ropes to their wrists.

They said they let their sisters tie themselves with a colorful rope, meaning that the brothers would never forget their sisters and would protect them from peace throughout their lives.

Whether the sisters' family is good or not, the brothers have to go. It is also to tell the in-laws that there are people in the sisters' mother's family, and the in-laws should treat their sisters kindly, and cannot let their sisters be angry, otherwise, the brothers will stand up for their sisters and give a warning to the in-laws on behalf of the mother-in-law.

The sisters tied the colored ropes to the brothers and brothers, and also hoped that the brothers and brothers would have a safe life and never forget their sisters.
