As much of India gears up to burn effigies of the ten-headed Ravana, there is one village tucked away in Greater Noida, which has for centuries played devil's advocate. Legend has it that the Bisrakh village is the birthplace of Ravana. For this reason, no one celebrates Dussehra in the village as it is actually a day of mourning.
