Basant Returns After 24 Years: History, Ban, and Punjab’s New Law Explained

Описание: This video examines the return of Basant not as a celebration, but as a policy decision shaped by history, tragedy, and law. It traces the origins of kite flying
from ancient China to the Indian subcontinent, where Basant became a major urban cultural event. The story then explains how unsafe kite strings led to fatal
accidents, forcing the Punjab government to impose a ban in 2001. After nearly two decades, Basant is being reintroduced under strict regulations in 2025, turning
its revival into a test of governance, public responsibility, and the principle that no cultural tradition is worth a human life.
