this is really annoying now

Ok CVs really need to do some homework. If they really want to show this inter-cast culture story they really need to educate themselves with Gujarati culture. First of all we don't call it Makar Sankranti, we call it Uttarayan.......it is the start of the holy month. When they said Makar Sankranti I was like what?? We don't have such a big holy day like that in Guju culture. I actually had to look it up. I find it annoying, that I am Guju and I still don't know what they are talking about...!!! . But they don't even have the terminology right. In a way, this could be a very educational serial, but if they are going to teach it wrong, then don't try to make such a big issue about culture and ceremonies.

Hey Taral, i know that the common word is Uttarayan but it is also called Makar Sankranti...I've checked with my mom to confirm as well.

ya but that is just it......that is what we call it commonly........everything has more then two names......All I am saying is y not try to make it as Guju as possible? I mean we Guju's don't even understand it.....u had to ask ur mom ...I had to google it....lol😆

Hey taral, point to be noted!!!

I live in Trinidad and we call it Makar Sankranti. I've never heard of the other name before

yes its called makar sakranti in hindi speaking belt...

I have heard both, but Makar Sankrati is used mainly in North. Srly CV's need to be more careful about what they show.

i am guju too
