Ayodhya-Bound Pilgrims' Bhajan And Dance Make Waves At Bengaluru Airport Terminal 2

A video capturing students and teachers from the Raghulila School of Music singing and dancing about Lord Rama at Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru has sparked extensive discussions. Air Marshal Anil Chopra posted a 1.50-minute clip on Twitter, featuring approximately 50 women and some men participating in a group song inside the airport as they were en route to Ayodhya.

As the video gained momentum, the Raghuleela School of Music shared another viral video showcasing the students' dance performance. Both videos have triggered debates.

Former MLA CT Ravi also shared the singing video on his X account, commending the women for proudly presenting Sanatan Dharma and its cultural richness. Some comments celebrated the arrival of "Jai Shri Ram" and "Ram Rajya."

Nevertheless, dissenting voices emphasized the need for Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) to maintain its designation as a silent airport, ensuring a noise-free and peaceful travel experience.

Suggestions were made that such activities should not be confined to any specific religious group, and everyone should have the freedom to showcase their culture.

One commenter, Rohit Jain, supported the display but urged minorities to avoid making noise at the airport. Another perspective, shared by Gemini, underscored that creating noise at the airport is not a matter of pride and encouraged embracing other sources of cultural pride beyond religious affiliations.

Critics expressed concerns about potential disruptions and called for the arrest of those responsible for causing inconvenience to the public at the airport. Sunil Menon cautioned that allowing such events might prompt people from various religions to emulate them, potentially disturbing travelers with excessive noise, according to national and international experts.
