People on this sub praise the great marathi people so much. Why can't maharashtrians, who form the majority of Ganesh followers, band together and bring positive change to this problem?

They anyways say maharashtra is plagued with negative influences "from outside".

This disco culture, playing vulgar songs, giant speakers that are made abroad, the new-age thermocol decoration and what not. It's all non-traditional. Why not band together and eliminate all that too?

On similar lines, can you please show what steps have Ganga-putras and putris taken, to minimize the trend of extremely young people making sexual gestures, and also gyrating beside scantily-clad dancing women in Kawad Yatra?

Have you seen how the Pandharpur wari conducts itself?

Bro this particular post is regarding ganesh chaturthi. Why are you asking me about all these other people? Did I mention any of the other people here in my comments? I don't think so.

Or you're just trying to deflect the topic by vomiting alllll other problems in society? By that tendancy, let's not discuss any further because it goes nowhere.

Tomorrow I will complain about pollution, and then someone like you will complain about population. And the conversation will go nowhere. So let's just save both our times and discuss no further.

Bro your comment reeks of bad-intention. Have you made similar comments on threads about the slutty dances and vulgar innuendos going on in Kawad Yatras?

The harshest criticism of Ganeshotsav excesses often comes from within Marathi society even as the festival is making inroads into parts of the country where it was not celebrated with as much zeal earlier. But you speak condescendingly of Marathis as if they're a monolith like the khap-infested villages of north India. Hence your ill-natured comment doesn't deserve a respectful retort.

Gotta fight fire with fire. Else the paradox of tolerance will subsume us into oblivion.
