सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Marathi culture, 'Dād' is essential in 'Kirtans' and 'Powadas' (folk songs). The performer expects the audience to participate by nodding or saying 'Ji Ji'. The term 'Dād' is used across India in classical music. Silence from the audience is often interpreted as a failure of the artist to connect. In the age of social media, 'not giving Dād' is often equated with 'Ghosting' or leaving someone on 'Read'. Marathi newspapers often use this phrase to describe a government's apathy toward public protests.
