Yes, I do get irritated but not because of the festival as i do like seeing them play with colors and vibrancy of it. The reason we get irritated because Many Hindu majority use it as powerful tactic to intimidate other minorities specifically Muslims. Till last year I never had any problems with this festival except some environmental hazards like using chemicals and paints for colouring and some occasional children throwing sewage water in balloons and some people getting drunk and misbehaving with women with in the family and outside on roads. My house is just opposite to one real estate builder who acquired illegal property by using first shiv sena as a cover and intimidation tool. Later he opened a VHP and bajrang dal office after shiv sena lost its core leader balasaheb thackeray. From then on he started using goons so no one can stand against his frauds. Last year one Muslim boy who was wearing white kurta and pajama was going for afternoons prayer but these goons who were sitting in the VHP and BAJRANG DAL office, started throwing colours and started abusing and they said you stay home if you don't want to get coloured as this is our festival and we won't spare you. Some shop owner who were present there saw it and ignored it. But later Bajrangdal and VHP goons started throwing color and abusing them as well, as a result little tussle happened but when this boy who got colored changed his clothes and again was going for prayer, he tried to part them away but they started beating shopkeepers and him as well. Later that boys relatives and shopkeepers parents come there and it kind of started Hindu Muslims riots. Those guys were using beer bottles and construction rods and bamboos to assault. But police came and as soon as they saw police they started vanishing from the scene, later police advise these Muslims to go home as well nothing get reported as it is BJP ruled government.
