Review:


This article, though it may seem unimportant and insignificant, has a lot of deeper meaning hidden inside. Today’s youth are really attracted by DJ’s, rock bands, etc. This, though no doubt very entertaining and enjoyable, have a deeply negative influence on today’s teenagers.
In India, marriages are very holy ceremonies where the husband and the wife become one soul. This divine moment is severely spoilt by these loud-noised DJ’s and such other shows. I feel that including DJ’s in today’s wedding parties and other celebrations is indeed very wrong, especially for today’s younger generation, which will be the future of tomorrow. There is a lot of vulgarity in the DJ’s. The songs played are very vulgar as is the attire of the dancers. According to me, this is indeed very wrong as today’s youth, instead of spending time on constructive work like studies and games, is wasting it on things like rock concerts, DJ’s etc.
According to the article, this is also having several negative effects. The boys and the teens in the particular town, after getting drunk at DJ’s, harass or misbehave with girls and females. As a result, they cannot participate in the celebrations. I think this is morally very wrong. Women have an equal status in society and I hate to see them abused by drunken men and physically, mentally and emotionally harassed by them. This is ethically not at all good. Many of the villages in India already face a financial crisis. I believe that this is just a waste of money and time on the part of the Indian youth. This money and time could be utilized for something much more important and constructive. But it is being uselessly squandered on things like DJ’s and rock concerts. At least, if not being constructively used, it should not be wasted and could be utilized for good purposes like charity.
India is a largely agricultural country. Most of the villagers in India depend on agriculture and cattle-breeding as a means of livelihood. The DJ’s continue very late into the night. So the cattle, not being able to get proper sleep, cannot be milked properly in the morning. This is causing a lot of inconvenience to the villagers as they depend on the sale of this milk for money.
Thus, due to its many disadvantages, I feel that the panchayat (governing body) of the village was right to ban DJ’s in the village


Clarification:
Haryana- A state in northern India
DJ’s- huge rock concerts where people (usually teenagers) dance and sing loudly
Panchayat- Governing body of a small village
