خلفية ثقافية
This is the heartland of 'Talli' culture. Drinking is often associated with loud music, 'Bhangra', and open celebration. Here, being 'talli' is often seen as a sign of having a good time. Cinema has sanitized and popularized the word. It's used to make characters seem 'cool' or 'relatable' to the youth. There are dozens of songs with 'Talli' in the title. In these states, alcohol is banned. Using the word 'Talli' in public can actually attract unwanted attention from the police. People use code words instead. While the word is slang, 'Friday Night Drinks' in cities like Bangalore or Gurgaon have made it common even among young professionals, though still strictly for after-hours.
