A video showing Indian tourists performing Garba on the tarmac of a Vietnam airport next to a parked aircraft has gone viral on social media.According to reports, the tourists were seen dancing enthusiastically in a circle near a VietJet Air aircraft while other passengers watched nearby.The unusual scene quickly grabbed attention online, with social media users debating whether such performances are appropriate in highly regulated airport zones where passenger movement is generally restricted for safety reasons.Many users defended the group, saying Garba performances in public spaces are common during Indian festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi and Janmashtami, and are often seen at railway stations, shopping malls, and weddings across India.However, others questioned the choice of location, arguing that airports — especially operational areas near aircraft — require stricter discipline and adherence to safety protocols. Several commenters said that while celebrating culture is welcome, travellers should also respect local rules and maintain decorum in international travel settings.— attentionindia1 (@attentionindia1) “Why do they have to do Garba everywhere? The global image of Indians gets ruined because of such things,” wrote one user on X.Another commented, “A group of Indians act like this abroad and the whole country has to suffer from racism.”One social media user wrote that Garba, which originated as a devotional dance dedicated to Ambe Maa, should not be performed “anywhere and at any time” without considering the surroundings and the comfort of others. The user added that activities such as dancing on an airport tarmac or playing loud music in public spaces abroad could negatively impact the global image of Gujaratis and Indians.Another Gujarati user criticised the act, calling it “absolutely unnecessary,” and said Garba is not something that should be performed randomly in every setting.However, not everyone viewed the incident negatively. One user defended the group, writing, “Why can’t the world see a group of happy Indians?”
