In Bihar, a father got an item dance done in the village after his son passed NEET. After the video went viral, a debate broke out on the manner of the celebration, in which people expressed both support and criticism. This event reflects different ways of celebrating success.
A strange incident that happened in a small village in Bihar is now attracting everyone’s attention. Its video has spread everywhere and now it is being discussed. To celebrate his son’s passing of NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), a father celebrated by organizing an “item dance” in the middle of the village. There are mixed reactions on this.
For this program held in the village, the father called professional dancers and made them dance. Thousands of people gathered nearby watching the item dance, clapping loudly and having fun while making videos. It is being said that the father, who was very proud of his son’s success, organized such a celebration to show his happiness in a different way and on a larger scale. Although such celebrations are common in rural India, making such an item dance was new for everyone.
When someone present there posted the video of the event on social media, it immediately went viral. In the video, a dancer is seen dancing on the stage and the people of the village are happy watching the dance and are recording it on their mobiles. On one occasion, the dancer removed the towel wrapped around her body and showed her semi-nude body, which was recorded. The people present there also enjoyed it.
Users divided into two groups on social media
Seeing this, there have been mixed reactions from people across the country. Some people praised the father’s enthusiasm and said, “There is nothing wrong in it if the father celebrates so much happiness over the success of his son’s studies.” Some people were happy to see the unity and festival-like atmosphere of the village. Some witty people even questioned that how ‘rasiya’ would a father be who can make his son do an item dance when he passes NEET. Some people also said that they don’t know what this father will do in his son’s marriage. But, some others have criticized it. He says that it is not right to celebrate the success of a serious national level examination like NEET with such entertainment, it hurts the respect of education. He also expressed concern that this would have a negative impact on children.
This incident shows how different the ways of celebrating success are in India. It is heard that item dance is a local tradition in many parts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Even on festivals there, semi-nude dancers are invited and people enjoy watching them. In places like Bhojpuri, ‘Nanga Naach’ also happens. Usually rich people organize it. His supporters and the poor people of the village see this and are fascinated by the ‘generosity’ of the person organizing the event. Until recently, that is, until mobile phones came into everyone’s hands, this was the main form of entertainment in male-dominated villages.
