Viral Video: 43-Member Gujarati Marwari Tourist Group Does Garba On Austria Street, Internet Is Unimpressed

Performing Garba during a well-celebrated Garba night sure is one of the checkers for many in India- however, performing the same folk dance in a foreign land on a random day, at a random street- is surely NOT something as exciting as the first scenario. Or so is what most netizens believed after a rather questionable video was shared online. The clip was shared by a woman, as per which, a ‘43-member Gujarati Marwari’ tourist group ended up performing Garba on a street in Austria. The woman was also a part of the group and elaborated on how the group requested some street performers to play their songs for a while. However, the artists initially refused, claiming that it could lead to issues with the police. The woman then stated how the group still did not back down and eventually got to perform Garba for 5 minutes.

The clip went viral in an instant, mostly over how it left many netizens frustrated and embarrassed. As seen in the comment section, many ‘Gujjus’ also commented on the incident, where a majority chastised the group. Many also commented on the ‘lack of travel etiquette’ of the group. Times Now could not confirm the exact location and authenticity of the incident.

“Have you ever thought of playing Garba in Europe? Well, I had and now I can tick it off the bucket list,” the post read.

“I am a gujju and love garba but sorry I just don’t get the obsession of doing it on abroad streets and being proud of something. I mean we don’t even do that in India on a random day and random street!” a user said.
