Baghpat’s villages in Uttar Pradesh have unique clans with names like ‘bhoot’, ‘bichchoo’, ‘chidia’, ‘gappad’, and ‘ghoda’. The ‘bounk’ system aids in identification, showcasing generations-old traditions and stories behind the unusual clan names.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday greeted people on the eve of Holi. In a post on X, Modi addressed them as his family members and wished that the festival associated with affection and harmony bring new energy and enthusiasm in everyone’s life.
