New Delhi. Man is bound by all relationships and bonds. These bonds are to be called bonds but in reality they are bonds of love. There is no problem with these bonds, rather people want to be bound by these bonds of their own free will. These bonds make the human relationship very beautiful. Life is colorful because of these relationships. Mother-father, brother-sister, maternal uncle-aunty, all these relationships are of blood, so it is necessary to be close to them and fall in love with them. But apart from these relationships, there is another relationship which, despite our lack of blood relations, becomes even closer than blood relations. This relationship is of friendship. Friends also know our secrets which we cannot share with our parents or siblings. The older the friendship gets, the deeper it gets. The friendship of many people lasts from childhood to old age. So today is the day to celebrate this relationship. That is, today is International Friendship Day. This day is celebrated every year around the world on 30th July. The purpose of celebrating this day is to celebrate the beautiful relationship of friendship and to promote the idea of making friends by meeting new people.
The day was first proposed to be celebrated in 1958 by an international civil organization – the World Friendship Crusade, which aimed to promote a culture of peace by fostering friendship. In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly formally adopted International Day of Friendship. At the same time, many other countries including India and Bangladesh celebrate Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August. This year Friendship Day will be celebrated in India on 7th August 2022.
