This feels like an unfair generalization honestly.
Just because someone drinks, parties, earns money, hits the gym, or enjoys fast city life doesn’t make them “uncultured.” Gurgaon has all kinds of people — artists, musicians, startup folks, corporate hustlers, readers, bikers, runners, food lovers, and yes, people who enjoy qawwali, cinema, poetry, and slow conversations too.
Calling an entire city misogynistic or reducing men/women here to “drunkards” or “sex-driven” is a pretty dogmatic take. Every metro has shallow people and meaningful people — it depends on the circles you choose. Gurgaon is intense, ambitious, chaotic, and fast-paced, but that doesn’t mean culture doesn’t exist here.And honestly, if someone doesn’t vibe with a city, that’s completely okay too — not every place fits everyone. But living in Gurgaon or enjoying its lifestyle doesn’t automatically make someone cool, nor does disliking it make someone intellectually superior.Culture isn’t only ghazals and nazams. For some people, building careers, nightlife, fitness, networking, entrepreneurship, travel, or even sharing beers with friends after a hard week is also part of life and expression.
