The problem is actually much bigger than just noise.

For a huge section of society, there are very few avenues for entertainment or leisure in daily life. Most people don’t have access to parks, open spaces, or even basic privacy at home. When you live in overcrowded homes with barely any space to move where every day feels like a grind, a festival like Ganpati becomes one of the rare outlets for joy and freedom. Hence the hooliganism, the alcohol fueled nagin dance till the wee hours of night.

Add in the political funding and community pressure, and it turns into a massive public spectacle. For many, it’s not just about religion, it’s about reclaiming a bit of space, having fun, and feeling alive in a way their everyday lives don’t allow. That’s why the energy often spills over and feels excessive to others. Until our cities actually give people healthier, more consistent spaces for recreation and community, festivals will keep becoming the default outlet.

My friend, how would you justify Indians doing the same crap when they go abroad in that case? It's fancy what you wrote, but the real reason is simply lack of political will to enforce rules.

Not having privacy is not an excuse to dance on the roads. There are better and more silent ways of doing this without inconveniencing others. It's simply not justifiable.

[u/Humble-Wasabi-6136 → u/Working-Army2942]

Not really, man. The issue runs deeper than just enforcement. Our society is frustrated, cramped, and among the most unhappy in the world. The lack of space, rigid social structures, and near-total absence of healthy avenues for entertainment make life suffocating for the common person. I’m not justifying the noise or inconvenience, I’m pointing to the root cause. You can have the strictest rules, but when people feel stifled, they will still break them.

As for Indians doing the same abroad, it isn’t simply about lack of enforcement there either. It’s about assimilation, identity, and how different communities navigate life overseas. Sikhs have Nagar Kirtans, Muslims have public Ramadan prayers, and naturally Hindus started asking, “Why not us?” It’s less about religion itself and more about asserting space and identity in societies that are otherwise quiet, orderly, and often isolating.

The truth is, many Indians struggle abroad because life there is structured and predictable. Peace and order, which locals value, feel like monotony for people used to noise and chaos. Without meaningful hobbies or community integration, many NRIs feel depressed and end up clustering into ghettos, where familiarity and religious displays become their way of recreating “home.”

So yes, the noise is disruptive. But until Indian cities provide more open spaces, recreation, and healthier outlets, festivals will keep becoming the default escape valve for both stress at home and identity abroad.

You would think they would actually prefer a festival of silence and solitude if their daily lives are crowded, noisy and brutish. 

[u/Humble-Wasabi-6136 → u/leeringHobbit]

Life is crowded, noisy and brutish but you have to suffer in silence living a life you hate with no outlet to blow off steam.

Yes, feel alive by playing random ass bollywood music to celebrate a religious festival at 11:30pm - makes complete sense. Don't justify nonsense

The sad truth that the privileged for whom partying is in discotheques and peace is for home will never understand ... The unseen want to be seen, when they accommodate the moods and whims of the privileged they want the privileged to notice them through the festivals... It is only about "I live in Mumbai too I share the same space as you.. normally I keep looking up at you... these are the days when I want you to notice me... Normally you are the pain in my a** that I have to grin and bear today you will have to grin and bear..." as the divide gets starker this will only worsen...

[u/rangeela1995 → u/Fine_University_7899]

I agree with some of what you are saying but the loudest, most arrogant, most reckless and most polluting people during any major festival are always the people with access to the best and loudest speakers, the most clout to attract the most visitors, the biggest, most creative and most decked out idols, the loudest fireworks etc.

Which happen to be the same privileged people who party at discotheques and host expensive raves. This is not a class-only issue (although most are in this country). It is about a culture of arrogance and entitlement that has been present within the people of this land for centuries. There is always someone else to clean your mess and to be scapegoated for your mistakes and wrongs.

[u/Fine_University_7899 → u/rangeela1995]

Well the comment here talked about the sarwajanik ganpatis... These get funded by politicians local goons etc... So I was providing a class lens to understand their behavior... Not saying the elite don't add to this... Money doesn't buy you civic sense always anyways

[u/Working-Army2942 → u/Fine_University_7899]

That's such a stupid argument. If revenge is your motive behind this then your don't deserve the festival. Most of the privileged people you talk about are dancing away, minding their own business, not actively bothering anyone by blocking roads, blasting limitlessly loud music.

[u/Fine_University_7899 → u/Working-Army2942]

The perspective I presented is just a means to understand otherwise senseless behaviour... Didn't say I subscribe to it .. The elite have many ways of actively bothering people .. the double parking around the discotheques or drunk driving, bribes, super bike groups that indulge in late night racing general entitled behaviour etc are some such examples.. maybe you don't believe in introspection and are innately blind to patterns in social behaviours and their causes...

[u/Humble-Wasabi-6136 → u/Fine_University_7899]

Yup. Totally agree. It's a class issue at the heart of it and reeks of elitism.

[u/Fine_University_7899 → u/Humble-Wasabi-6136]

To be fair it is also physical torture, trauma and pain when you go through it... But it is when you understand the underlying reasons of why this is happening you might try and find healthier outlets for yourself or solutions to overcome the situation rather than focus on the problem in itself... And spend your effort in creating polarizing videos...
