The Indigenous (neo) Umbilical Cord

As a child, my bed time stories comprised of tales of many revolutionaries (in their own right), including those of Rabindranath Tagore, and how he encouraged Hindus and Muslims to tie rakhis to each other. My mother said this fostered kinship and harmony, along with the extension of security. I do not know what the authenticity of this is, but I didn’t feel the need to seek it, for my mother said it.
