Before voting in Bihar Assembly elections, there has been a tinge of religious statements. Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted RJD Chief Lalu Yadav and his family over the video of them celebrating Halloween. Now Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya has hit back at PM Modi’s statement. In the election rally, PM Modi taunted that the royal families of Congress and RJD do not have time to go to Ram temple, but they are celebrating foreign festivals a lot.

There is no harm in celebrating Halloween: Rohini Acharya

On this, Rohini Acharya said, “We have been celebrating all the festivals with the same enthusiasm and spirit. Children were celebrating Halloween and if the people of the house were involved in the happiness of the children, then what is the harm in it. The Prime Minister and the people of BJP-NDA also celebrate festivals like Christmas, Eid, Bakrid and give good wishes, so there is no issue. Is celebrating Halloween an issue? The issue is migration from Bihar, poverty, employment. There should be discussion on these.”

PM Modi’s taunt on Lalu Yadav

Addressing an election rally in Saharsa on Monday (3 November 2025), PM Modi said, “Congress and RJD families are interested in foreign trips and celebrating foreign festivals, but they do not get time to visit Ram temple in Ayodhya and they call Chhath Puja a drama. RJD people are busy in international festivals and insult Chhathi Maiya. Lalu Prasad Yadav called Kumbh useless and grandchildren. Celebrating Halloween together, first kidnapping in Jungle Raj, now kidnapping on Aastha.

‘Made CM’s face by placing a Katta on his temple’

PM Modi had said, “Tejashwi Yadav talks about his father’s legacy, but avoids putting his picture on election posters. After all, what are the sins of that big leader of the so-called Jungle Raj, which this Prince wants to hide? RJD made Tejashwi Yadav the chief ministerial face of the India alliance by placing a dagger on Congress’s forehead and claimed that now Congress wants to take revenge for that insult.”

Halloween 2025: Halloween is celebrated every year on the night of 31 October. It is a festival associated with the night before All Hallows Eve i.e. All Saints Day. Its roots lie in the nearly 2000-year-old Celtic Festival of Samhain, where it was believed that dead souls returned to Earth on the night of October 31. This is why October 31 is called Halloween Night all over the world.

How old is the history of celebrating Halloween? (Halloween Dark History)

Halloween originated in the ancient Celtic communities of Europe. It was related to farming, which is why this time after the harvest and the beginning of winter was called Samhain. At that time people believed that on this night the wall between the world of living and dead souls is the thinnest. They would light bonfires outside their homes, wear masks and keep food to appease the spirits.

Later, when Christianity spread, November 1 was declared All Saints’ Day, and the night before that came to be known as All Hallows’ Eve, which later became Halloween. With time, this festival emerged from fear and superstition and became a symbol of celebration and expression.

In ancient tradition this festival symbolized the balance of life and death. But in the modern era it has become a medium to transform fear into art, creativity and self-expression.

Today Halloween is a day when people show their other side. Some scary, some funny, some completely imaginative. This is an opportunity to overcome fear and present your identity in a new form.

Why is Halloween becoming so popular in India?

Halloween is not a traditional festival in India, but its influence has increased rapidly in the last decade. Social media, Hollywood films and global fashion culture have made it popular among the youth, especially among Gen-Z.

Now colleges, corporate offices, and cafes in metro cities are decorated on Halloween theme. People embrace trends like having costume parties, Trick-or-Treat games, and Spooky Makeup Challenges.

Now even brands have started using this day for marketing. Food brands launch Pumpkin Specials, fashion brands launch Dark Glam Looks and tech companies even release AI Ghost Filters.

Social Media and Gen-Z’s Halloween

For the Gen-Z generation, Halloween is becoming not just a day of scare but also a day of digital expression. Hashtags like #SpookySeason, #31OctVibes, #GhostFilter trend on Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok with millions of posts.

Costumes are now inspired not only by horror but also by aesthetics and pop-culture such as Wednesday Addams, Barbie, Taylor Swift Era or Bollywood Horror Icons. For Gen-Z, Halloween is a content moment and making a reel, photo-dropping or identifying with a meme is the new mantra of this day.
