One user wrote, ‘It's a real surprise for me that you, as a writer, are telling this crap. Raksha Bandan is related to Krishna and Draupati. Please educate yourself.’

Anor user says, ‘At this moment, I know you know nothing about Indian festivals and culture if you believe in this nonsense story. I'm sorry to have recommended your books for kids. y don't need to learn this manufactured story. Please re about Draupi's Raksha Sutra for Srikrishna and significance of Shravan Poornima.’

One more user shared, ‘Story of Karnavati-Humayun Rakhi is fiction floated by leftist Marxist historians as lalit sahitya to shamefully exploit Bharat's dharmic festivity and burden Hindus with secular sarva dharma age, ignoring no such event ever happening. Rana Sangha's Queen united Sidodias to fight back.’

origin of Raksha Bandhan trition is a mystery. According to Hindu mythology, story of Krishna and Draupi is often cited as an example of Rakshabandhan bond. 

When Krishna cut his finger while beheing Shishupala, Draupi tied a piece of cloth around his finger to stop bleeding, and Krishna promised to protect her as a bror.
