Party busted

No, I'm not referring to the rave party on the outskirts of Pune which has been hogging the headlines. This is quite another case of elders ki zyaadti - on happy young Haryanvis. TOI dt Mar 5 2007 reports: "Haryana caste court bans DJs at weddings"

Haryana's Ruhal khap (community) which has a presence in 63 villages, outlawed DJs and warned anyone violating the diktat to be ready with a fine of Rs 11,000.

So no more remix numbers at baraat parties. The ostensible reason:"With DJs, youngsters dance under influence of liquor and sometimes misbehave with girls and women..." Ah, but there's more.

"Very importantly, due to high volume of music preferred by these DJs, people can't milch buffaloes and cows early morning as the animals are unable to sleep at night."

With real news like this, what will happen to humour magazines like ours ... !

  1. Funny!!!
    Great logic by the caste court about effect of music on buffaloes and cows. What they don't understand is , bands in wedding have been there for centuries. DJ is just an modification of that.
    And about the rave party in Pune, parents of many young people are pleading innocence on behalf of them. One of them said,"My son was in the party to enjoy the Trance music, he is not at all into drugs". Yeah, right!!!

  4. Well, the Cows and Buffaloes part, though funny, actually makes sense.
    If there is no milk from the animals, that's one day's business gone for the doodhwallahs and then animals are always more sensitive to routine changes.
    But I am not sure if loud music prevents them from sleeping though :). Being generally indifferent, they might not be too perturbed by all the din.
