This has been called very strongly by the supreme court as malicious and politically motivated and government supported propaganda.

Those last 2 to 3 minutes each and aren't on in the night. Hindu celebration pandals violate noise norms for weeks at stretch playing loud Bollywood songs and drums incessantly through out the night. Complaints result in Hindu right wing goons sent to rough up the one who complained. Its hard to take your reasonings in good faith if you make those one sided.

Many of the appeasement complains are also I'm bad faith. Many economic programs target those that are badly off. Turns out there is a significant overlap with that population and Muslim and lower caste Hindu population - which is not to claim all Muslims or all lower caste are economically backwards.

What is offensive about itar ? Its a traditional perfume/deodorant. Eberyone can see wjat this is - just institutionsl Muslim hatred of the hindu right. What's the logic here ? Gajra perfume is good itar perfume is some sort of a national politics issue.

The guy who used to grovel in apologies to the Brits is a hero now. Golwalkar the fountainhead of Hindu right wrote that Muslims are the real problem and it'd them who have to be fought not the colonizing British forces yet its Nehru who is branded Brit loyalist.

The contention is whether India should be modeled with values of liberalism and plurarism or insular right wing and fascist ideas

They are on EVERY day of the year, 5 times a day and start at 5 am. Festivals aren't daily. Why hide that fact?

That said, I would like to see no loudspeakers used in residential areas at all - by anyone.

Not hiding. I expected this to be common enough knowledge that it did not require further elaboration.

I am bothered more by the pandal loudspeakers because they disrupt night sleep for multiple stretches of a week at a time. Ajaans are not aired during my sleeping hours so they don't bother me (except for the 5 am one at times). Neither do church bells. There are many mosques around where I stay, thankfully they seem to obey noise ordinances that pandals do not.

In contrast there is always some festival every month with a pandal and there goes my sleep for a week.

Totally agree that noise ordinances should be uniformly applied. Same applies to construction noise.
