Hello!

I have a few thoughts about the Etymology, meaning, and usage section of this article. In my personal opinion, when I read this section, I found it to be quite lengthy. Seeing that Raksha bandhan is tagged a Hindu festival page, I would expect as a reader to read a lot more about the festival itself. WP:Undue is one particular policy that I want to tag because "avoiding giving undue weight means articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held views or widely supported aspects."

The second policy that comes to mind is Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary and the last policy that I would add on here is WP:Excessdetail.

I would be very interested to hear what people have to say about this. Maybe learn a new perspective in the process. But, overall, the point that I'm trying to make is that I feel this portion of the article should be condensed somewhat. Chilicave (talk) 02:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article is not at all useful and doesn't focus on all region traditions. 49.205.242.212 (talk) 03:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guess common for all Indian religion people particulary of Hinduism, hardly encyclopediac article with more emphasising on Politics and propaganda rather than Festival. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.206.199.92 (talk) 21:09, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
