I Say Gujarat, They Hear Dhokla: Indian States Represented Through Pics in Viral Trend

India, a land renowned for its kaleidoscopic cultural tapestry, showcases a plethora of identities within each of its states and cities. While we often engage in delightful discussions about the diverse cuisines that grace our palates, there’s more to India’s distinctiveness than just the flavors tantalising our taste buds. Think of Gujarat, and the mind echoes with the delectable notes of ‘Khaman Dhokla.’ Travel south to Kerala, and the tranquil ‘Backwaters’ hum their own melody, and the symphony of diversity plays on.

And this is just what inspired Desis on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), to turn it into a viral trend where they are sharing snapshots of what springs to mind when the name of a particular Indian state is uttered. The mantra is simple: “I say (name of state/city), they hear,” inviting everyone to partake in the fun.

Beginning with the culinary delights, Punjab resonates with the savoury aroma of Sarso Da Saag and Makki Ki Roti—a gastronomic symphony that defines the state. “I say Assam” echoes with the delightful presence of Momos, while Maharashtra triggers cravings for the iconic ‘Vada Pav.’ Hyderabad, on the other hand, is synonymous with the aromatic indulgence of ‘Biryani,’ and Bengal, well, it’s a sweet melody of ‘Roshogolla’ paired with the unmistakable essence of fish.

Yet, the trend doesn’t merely restrict itself to culinary escapades. A clever twist unfolds as someone associates New Delhi with ‘smog,’ showcasing the city’s notorious environmental challenge. Rajasthan, often envisioned as a vast desert, is humourously captured with pictures of the Thar Desert and majestic camels, challenging stereotypes with a playful nod.

Thus, in the realm of humour, sarcasm, and creative expression, Desis truly shine. In fact, this trend has become a canvas for showcasing the myriad facets that define each Indian state, painting a portrait that is both amusing and insightful.
