But it kept a blind eye in RAPE case of 14-YO Muslim girl in which Sagar Suryavanshi was accused.
No bulldozer justice for 14-YO.
Seeing no action, locals demanded strict action but in vain. Incident occurred in Suwasara last month.

Fun fact, I have never entered a Garba / #Dandiya thing in my entire life. Bengalis have dhunuchi nritya during Durga Puja, at the pandal during aarti and on the day of Visarjan at the river bank. I have done dhunuchi dance but never even seen a #Garba in real life.
Garba is a Gujarati thing and most people outside Guj didn't know it until Phalguni Pathak happened. It was not even depicted that much in Bollywood. Now it is a commercial and fashion activity with companies putting in money in advertising, big halls, DJs are hired.
Commercial Garbas are certainly not religious or divine or anything. Just people dancing. Poor men (could be Dalit, Muslim, poor Hindu) see from a distance cos most of these places are costly. Poor women stay at home, can't even see from distance.
Many of us have friends & extended family members of other faiths who have for long participated & enjoyed our celebrations as we have reciprocated theirs.
However, this sudden interest in #GarbaNight & this push that it should be open to all by the very people who through

the year mock every belief, tradition & ritual & till last week were happily posting on social media with the same toxicity…has been a surprise.
So it is not without reason that we, who once took great pride in sharing with openness our culture & festivities are now wary

We would then naturally prefer they stay afar than mar a happy time & leave a bitter taste.
It must be said however, that anywhere in the world, music concerts, shows, establishments of repute hold the right to deny admission.

Setting the matter straight in this thread. Garba is absolutely Hindu in true sense and Kufr for Islam.
The word #Garba is nothing but the Sanskrit word for womb, often implying gestation or pregnancy; rather life.

As per the tradition the #Garba is performed around a clay lamp , called a Garbha Deep (say: womb lamp).
This lamp/deep represents life, & particularly the fetus in the womb.
Now, one must know one form of Maa Durga represent the fertility too, and green color signifies that.

The dancers thus show devotion to Maa Durga, the feminine form of divinity. Islam has no adore for any form of divinity except that of Allah.
One must also know that #Garba is performed in a circle symbolizing life and cyclic time against linear time of Islam.

Muslims should keep out of #Garba for their own good. They will need to go to a book for some help. I happen to come across just the "right" one. And, The "left" might probably agree with it too because eveyone deserves have a little fun.
Author who's has a scholarhip in Islam says:
Muslims think entertaiment is Haram. If it involves showering praises to a hindu goddess then, its blasphmeous. Muslims parents are not providing suitable Halal alternatives. Hence, their kids might get addicted to islamophobic fun.

"Shirk" is the sin of idolatry or polytheism (Hindusim/Sanatana). Islam says that God does not share His divine attributes with any partner. So you can't sing, dance to garba songs or seek Mata's blessings.
Kufr means anything that doesn't have approaval or is rejected in Islam.

First thing first, what is Garbo?

It symbolises a belief of the world’s conception and birth from one pot.

This morning I found 30 years old edition of monthly magzine 'Kalyan' in my grandfather's almirah featuring major 'Shakti Peeths' of India.
To start with, Kashmir has 6 shakti-peeths: The very famous Vaishno Devi, Rajrajeshwari Shreemaharani, Chakreshwari Shreesarika -
Shree Jwalaji, Kulwagishwari & Kshirbhawani Yogmaya. Most of them are around Srinagar.
