India is a country of multiple religions, diverse culture, varied traditions and numerous festivals. Yesterday (October 8) was one such occasion widely followed as ‘Karwa Chauth’. On this day, married women fast the entire day and don’t even drink water till the moon is out. Only after offering water to the moon and following the rituals do they break the fast. Like all other commoners, Harbhajan Singh’s wife Geeta Basra was also on fast for her husband.
It is believed that the wife fasting on that particular day ensures the husband a longer life. Later in the night once the moon was out Harbhajan posted a picture of his wife performing the ritual of looking at the moon and then her husband through sieve. If you though it was all going perfect a few ‘Religious Experts’ on Twitter were offended by the image.
Claiming to understand Sikhism better they advised Bhajji to stay away from such acts as it was against their religion.

Another guy suggested that fasting was a superstition and thus against Sikh religion. “have proper knowledge before you say anything.Fast rakhna, ya vart rakhna is prohibited in sikh religion cause it is andhvishvas,”

By now Bhajji was starting to get amused by these religious experts trying to punch upon their rules, “Lo bhai aur ek aya gyaan dene..”
