I think the story dates back to when a war was occuring in India. A sister tied a "Rakri" on her brothers wrist for good luck and spirit during the war. His arm.he was burnt and the only part of his arm that wasnt burnt was the part under the string.

Symbolising that his sister was potecting him in mind body and spirit whilst at war.

And in return a brother will give his sister (who ties the rakrhi ever year) gifts, such as Indian suits and money for their blessing and protection.

Not only the financial aspect but imagine not be able to do anything else with them (what if you fancy them?)...because they are your new so called sisters? [addsig]

Well maybe in theory but i don't believe anyone actually practices that do they?...To my knowledge in bollywood movies i have only seen strangers do the Rakhi on strangers. ie: non-family.

Bollywood is as fake as fake gets i suppose...So your saying Rakhi is more of a family tradition?...But anyone can participate if they so wanted...I would rather hide to be quite frank unless it was my own blood sisters and cousins. [addsig]
