There has been a concerted effort to have crackers banned during Diwali in recent times but Hindus have consistently resisted the efforts by the Indian State and other busy-bodies to interfere with their traditions. Last year during Diwali, despite bans across large swathes of India, Hindus across the country celebrated the occasion by bursting crackers.
Due to the bans, however, the cracker industry suffered a great deal of losses.
