Netizen's React

One user wrote, “Civic sense?? RIP”

The other said, "We must learn to respect the sanctity of public places." 

“Why can't people of India adapt to the foreign culture and respect their traditions?” another added. 

"Being an Indian..it's not necessary to glorify our culture everywhere... It's become embarrassing to other Indians who are residents of Dubai,"

“NOPE. As a Gujarati, this is embarrassing. I understand you're excited and happy and want to celebrate, but flipping garba anywhere is not. Even gujjus in India don't break into garba at any random place..”

“Someone was asking why Indian hatred has increased exponentially…??? Can you guess??”

“Wherever you go in UAE, tourist spots, shopping, museums, theme parks, there is an influx of Gujjus all behaving the same, talking extremely loudly, travelling in huge groups, disturbing people around, no civics sense and making all of us look bad!!”
