Koo App – #HarRangKiHoli

Koo App has launched a Holi anthem – #HarRangKiHoli – to celebrate the festival of colors. This homegrown microblogging app has shown distinct traditions. #HarRangKiHoli – reflecting India’s diversity.

Holi is celebrated in different ways in different parts of India. In Uttar Pradesh, it is Lathmar Holi which is played with colors and sticks. Punjab’s Hola Mohalla is a combination of folk dance and martial arts. In West Bengal, a grand procession of Lord Krishna called the Dol Jatra is organized.

Koo’s video essentially captures the sentiment of ‘many cultures, one emotion’.

Ghadi Detergent – SaareMaelDhoDaalo Campaign 

Ghadi Detergent chose to raise the issues that generally girls and women face during Holi. In the pretext of this festival, many men take advantage of physically abusing and inappropriately touching women against their will. These issues are being usually ignored and girls choose to sacrifice their self-esteem over raising their voice and spoiling the festive mood.

Thanks to a campaign like this, it might send across the message to a broader audience, and hopefully, it will encourage girls to raise their voices against any unfairness.
