The Makar Sankranti is celebrated throughout India on January 14 to mark the sun’s return to the Northern hemisphere. The industrial city of Ahmenabad stages a great kite competition, a proper fight. From early morning the high-born and the beggar, the Hindu and the Moslem, gather on the city’s roofs for a peaceful - though police-controlled - clash of kites. For a day, all sides set aside their differences.
