तुझं आडनाव हिंदू वाटत नाही, अमेरिकेत तरुणाला गरबा इव्हेंटमधून हाकललं
आडनाव हिंदू 'वाटत' नसल्याचं कारण पुढे करत बडोद्याहून अमेरिकेला शिफ्ट झालेल्या एका वैज्ञानिकासह तिघा जणांना बाहेर हाकलण्यात आलं.
Year 2018 & Shakti Mandir in Atlanta, USA denied me and my friends entry from playing garba because: “You don’t look Hindu and last name in your IDs don’t sound Hindu” -THREAD- pic.twitter.com/lLVq4KhJtw

My Konkani friend who came to Garba for 1st time *due to enthusiasm of us Gujaratis* was pulled out of line & was told: “We don’t come to your events, you are not allowed to ours” She: “My last name is Murdeshwar. I’m Kannada-Marathi!” Him: “What is Kannada? You are Ismaili”

My other friends last name had “Dangarwala”. We spoke in Gujarati to them. They still said we were “Vohra, Sindhis”. They actually kept stating other religions!! They ganged up and told us to leave. While we saw other non-Indians being entered (which they of course should!)
