Watch Two Women Dance On Top Of Buffalo; Leaves Internet Divided:
In a video shared by an Instagram user @prince__rajasthani two women are seen in an open field near a farm and a tree wearing a traditional attire of saree and ghunghat dancing atop a buffalo tied to the tree and the two women in their unusual approach are seen grooving freely on the buffalo enjoying themselves and performing for the camera. These women went the extra mile with their creativity and managed to climb up not on a stage or a tree, but on a buffalo that too wearing sarees!
The video was posted almost two months ago and has garnered lakhs of views dividing the internet. Some called it an act of sheer innocence while others expressed their concerns over animal abuse.
Cows and buffaloes are farm animals and are widely praised in the Hindu culture of India while many farmers and rural Indian people foster these animals as they are the main source of income in their life and worship and consider them like their own families making shelter for these animals in their courtyards.
Opponents of the video highlight the potential discomfort and pain the buffalo might be experiencing. They argue that the weight of the women could be physically taxing for the animal, restricting its natural movement and causing strain.
Supporters of the video counter these arguments by emphasising the cultural context of the scene. They argue that the video showcases a rural tradition where humans and animals share close bonds, often interacting in ways that might seem unusual to urban viewers. They believe the buffalo doesn't appear distressed and view the dance as a harmless form of cultural expression embedded in the community's way of life.
