The story of ‘Dulla Bhatti’ that depicts how a Muslim elder protected a Hindu girls Sunder,Munderi as his own daughters was repeated as a reminder to the young generations, in a climate where the nation is struggling with the menace of atrocities on women and even minor girls by anti-social criminals. Th. Gulchain Singh Charak , Former Minister and President Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) while congratulating the members on occasion exhorted all Dogras to uphold these pious traditions and unite for the noble cause and Dogriyat that impress upon communal harmony and brotherhood. He also, once again called upon all social, religious and political groups of the region to have one voice on matters concerning the region of Duggar Pradesh. Some members brought out those personal / political ambitions are overshadowing the cause of Dogras; in the bargain our heritage, culture, folk art and traditions are suffering. “We need to unite culturally as ‘one Dogra entity’ for the sake of saving Dogriyat”.. Sikh, Muslim and Christian members also joined the celebration around the Bon fire and shared traditional ‘Moong Phali & Rewari’.
