Mutton Eaters

"Mutton-eaters cant play garba", says this article in Hindustan Times.

The Shiv Sena has warned Muslim youth not to participate in festivities — particularly the dancing — during the nine days of Navratri.

 “We may allow Muslims as onlookers, but on the dance floor, strictly not. That is forbidden in Hindu custom,” declared a statement in the party mouthpiece Saamna on Monday.

“How can you allow mutton-eating youth inside a temple during such a holy period?” he told HT, when asked to explain the logic of the ban.

*Sigh* If only these people would leave their mutton chomping habits for a measly 9 days, they might be eligible for a most excellent time dancing round and round all night.

But they just cant leave their mutton alone. The SS didn't say anything about chicken though. Colonel Sanders will be pleased... or KFC outlets in Mumbai might get ransacked every year during Navratri.

 Another cool quote from the news article actually made me laugh out loud... it said:

“This is not the party’s stand, it is Jaiswal’s individual opinion,” Saamna executive editor and Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut said in Mumbai. “We are not against all Muslims, only against those who don’t love India and obey the laws of the country.”

LOL! Yeah let's not let those who don't love India, partake in this most excellent all night dance extravaganza. Those mutton eating, India hating, commie scum.

Garba was a big deal back in NID. You'd have non-Gujratis practicing for weeks and every night there'll be people from other institutes (IIM etc) coming in. Supposedly NID garba is famous there, for the same reason the non-dancing NIDians end up on the lawns there. The reason being, women:

 And all were welcome. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains and Parsis (Yes there WERE Buddhists and Parsis). In fact I remember one notice from the administration saying, Please consider the fact that outsiders come during these ceremonies, so please dress and behave accordingly and do not smoke.

Nowhere else could you find a bald headed, pierced face girl dressed in a backless choli and traditional gujrati dress smoking weed and talking filth. Too much of a cultural shock for non-NIDians.
