"Our Money Wasn't Bad For Them": Muslim Girls Denied Entry To Garba Night In Kota, Sparking Outrage

A shocking new video from Kota, Rajasthan, has gone viral, and it has once again exposed the ugly underbelly of religious discrimination in India. The video, which was shot by a group of Muslim girls, shows them being denied entry to a Garba night, despite having valid passes. The reason? They are not "Sanatani."

"We are from Kota, Rajasthan, and we came here for Dandiya," one of the girls says in the video, her voice filled with a mixture of anger and hurt. "Look what they have put up here. You must be seeing reels about what's happening these days; Muslims are not being allowed."

The video shows a sign at the entrance of the event that reads "Non-Sanatani not allowed." But as the girls point out, there was no such sign when they bought the passes.

"Okay, I understand they are not allowing, then why did they give us the pass?" she asks, a question that hangs heavy in the air. "When we came to buy the pass for this event, it's a student city, but what are they teaching here? That Muslims can't enter. They've written in big letters 'Non-Sanatani,' but nothing of the sort was written when they were selling the pass. We wouldn't have come. We aren't crazy to come even if it's written. They shouldn't have sold us the pass."

It's a clear case of bait and switch, a blatant act of discrimination that is as cowardly as it is cruel. The organizers were happy to take their money, but they were not willing to let them enjoy the festivities.

"And they are not returning our money either," she says, her voice rising with indignation. "The management isn't responding... when they were taking our money, our money wasn't bad for them, but now at the time of entry, we have suddenly become bad for them."

The video has sparked a massive outrage online, with many people condemning the organizers for their bigotry and their hypocrisy. The hashtag #ShameOnKota is trending on Twitter, with many calling for a boycott of the event and for legal action to be taken against the organizers.

"This is absolutely disgusting," one user wrote. "This is not the India that I know and love. We are a secular country, and we should not tolerate this kind of religious discrimination."

Another added, "The organizers should be ashamed of themselves. They are not just denying these girls entry to a Garba night; they are denying them their right to be a part of the cultural fabric of this country."

The incident is a stark reminder that the forces of religious intolerance are still very much alive and well in India. It's a reminder that we cannot afford to be complacent, that we must continue to fight for a more inclusive and a more tolerant society.

The Garba festival is a celebration of joy, of community, of the triumph of good over evil. It's a festival that is supposed to bring people together, not to tear them apart. The incident in Kota is a perversion of everything that the festival stands for, and it's a stain on the cultural fabric of our country.

The girls in the video have shown incredible courage and resilience in the face of this blatant discrimination. They have spoken out, they have shared their story, and they have refused to be silenced. They are an inspiration to us all, a reminder that we must never be afraid to stand up for what is right.
