"Holi festival is just one day of the year where people seem to go crazy and you experience issues you never would on any other day. Be clued up about Holi, but don't let this impact your whole perception of India!"

In 2018, a DU student alleged in her Instagram story that she was hit by a balloon filled with Semen. The story went viral and internet was filled with op-eds on ‘Holi Hooliganism and misogynist hindu festival’!

Later, the allegation was rendered false by a forensic report which ruled out the possibility of semen in the holi balloon submitted by the student.
