UNESCO Garba Tag Ignites Cultural Debate on Inclusivity
A UNESCO inscription of Gujarat's Garba as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2023 has reignited a debate over the inclusivity of the Navratri celebration. Reports indicate that the inscription highlighted Garba as a collective celebration promoting unity. However, discussions have emerged regarding the exclusion of non-Hindus from some Garba events in Gujarat, with some news outlets framing this as a systematic campaign by 'saffron groups' to push out minorities.
