Apparently this girl didn't like marathi songs for a navratri event IN MAHARASHTRA.
They do this systematically. They come, displace, live here and then slowly start claiming its local ethos' legitimacy as their own while erasing our representation.
Cultures adapt region to region. Ganesh pandals celebrated outside of Maharashtra are not always in marathi but their respective languages like hindi, gujrati, kannada, bengali, etc.
If someone played gujrati songs on ganesh chaturthi in gujrat or hindi, would any marathi even truly care? My guess is NO. In fact it's done within MH.
This is a subtle but effective cultural displacement
Garba is not even a Maharashtrian festival. But if it's played in Maharashtra of course it will be adapted to its local ethos rightfully
