Schoolchildren Recast Durga’s Battle Against Modern-Day Asuras

Schoolchildren put on a play about modern problems that can affect people and the planet.

They called things like too much screen time, plastic and hidden sugar “asuras,” or demons.

The play also showed environmental disasters and artificial intelligence.

It said AI can be useful when people use it as a helper, not a replacement for their own thinking.

Goddess Durga told people that weapons cannot solve these problems.

Instead, people can learn about them and make careful choices.

The children showed examples, like checking food labels and using less plastic.

Their play ended with a hopeful message.
