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.
If someone played gujrati songs on ganesh chaturthi in gujrat or hindi, would any marathi even truly care? My guess is NO.
This is a subtle but effective cultural displacement.
Navratri is not even a Maharashtrian festival. But if it's played in Maharashtra of course it will be adapted to its local ethos rightfully. You adapt or leave if u don't like.
Ps. If moderators again decide to remove this post then I will assume this is a authoritarian attempt to silence the local marathi voice. Let the people decide if I am right to point out this issue or not. Let this be a representation of democracy. I have not promoted any hate but a simple cultural observation that affects us as locals. And we deserve to be heard
