It won't be wrong to call India, a land of festivals. It is in this country that each festival from every community is celebrated with immense love, great zeal and fervour. But, not all festivals are happy ones, some are for mourning too and Muharram is one of them.

It is the arrival of the New Moon that marks the beginning of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar, which is also known as Islamic New Year, Hijri New Year or the Arabic New Year. Muharram is the 10th day of the month, but the dates vary from year to year, as per the Gregorian calendar.

Muharram means "forbidden and sinful" and this year in India, the festival has begun on 19 August. People from the Muslim community believe that Imam Hussain Ali, who is believed to be the third Imam of the Shia community, was the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions were killed on this day by the army of Caliph Yazid in 680 AD at the battle of Karbala, which is now Iraq.

Therefore, to mourn on this day, people belonging to the Shia Muslim community flagellate themselves with sharp objects as Imam Hussain Ali's death is considered to be a symbol of the struggle against injustice, tyranny and oppression.

Apart from this, the Sunni Muslims also fast on 9th, 10th and 11th day of Muharram. Fasting is important as it is interpreted that it is a way to make amends for the sins of the coming year. Also, for people belonging to this community, Ashura (Muharram) marks an important day. It is believed that Moses and the children of Israel, who were his followers, were saved from the Pharaoh by God, who created a path in the Red Sea.
