So you have been to Delhi I suppose. Even I saw them on my last visit to that city. Actually this is the season where they take the journey. If you get to visit South India, the you would see many of such kaavadis who undertake the journey to Tirupathi. Anyways these are religious rituals that mark India. BTW you should have told me in advance, I would have loved to meet you in person :) Oh! So you have been to Delhi I suppose. Even I saw them on my last visit to that city.

It wasn't 'khaadi' that I was referring to, it was "Kaavdis' ( that's what everyone called them); the ritual of hundreds of people walking the streets of New Delhi dressed in orange clothes and carrying water (from the Ganges) from the religious site of Haridwar to their respective towns and cities. Apparently they had to bring the sacred water back to their home towns before a particular day when they celebrated the wedding/birth of the deity Shiva. If indeed religious fundamentalism is waning then it's to be lauded, and you are right maybe I'm jumping to conclusions based on my very short stay in India. I guess apologies are due.

As a matter of fact there is a diversion away from religious fundamentalism. And Khaadi is not religious fundamentalism...it was promoted to encourage nationalism by Gandhiji. I cannot correlate your comment with traffic jams! I Me My,

I briefly visited India this past fortnight and I saw the Kaawdi phenomenon! For a country on the move, economically, thing like these can be very detrimental to the social health of its people. There was a sense of divide that I sensesed which was brought about by the obvious flaunting of religious rites. It made me rather uncomfortable and also made for some major traffic jams in the city.
