The video has received mixed reactions from netizens, both Indians and foreigners. The comments section was filled with people calling out the civic sense of Indians present there. A user wrote, “Do you ever see foreigners in India during Diwali or Durga Puja and any regional festivals blasting or singing or imposing English or other languages songs? No. They just join in and enjoy respectfully and blend in to our culture. But us? We love throwing language divides in each other’s face – Hindi vs non-Hindi, English vs regional, accent shaming. And civic sense? Forget it. Queues, traffic, noise, litter… we act like rules don’t apply to us. Everywhere I’ve travelled, locals say the same: “Indians are sweet but horrible at respecting civics and other cultures.” And honestly… they’re majorly right. We think the world should adjust to us, not the other way around. Time we own up to it and stop having double standards.”

Another user commented, “This is one of the reason why all countries are gearing up against immigration … we just don’t know how to blend, respect, witness and enjoy the culture and traditions of other countries.”

A third person said, “I was there and witnessed this and have never felt more embarrassed.”

However, some users supported those in the video. One user wrote, “I can’t believe that in the comment section people are barking civics sense ….. They are enjoying at the highest… Songs are part of enjoyment…. That absolutely cool.”
