Woman kicked during public dance event in Barmer, video sparks outrage
A shocking video allegedly from Rajasthan's Barmer district has triggered widespread anger after a man was seen openly kicking a woman who was dancing to DJ music at a public event. The incident, believed to have taken place during a local celebration, shows the woman wearing a veil and dancing calmly when the man suddenly kicks her from behind. She falls forward as music continues to play and people continue dancing.
What has shocked viewers the most is not just the violence, but the complete lack of response from the people standing nearby. Several men can be seen continuing to dance as if nothing happened. No one steps in to help the woman or stop the man.

Public anger grows on social media
Social media users have strongly condemned the act. Many called it shameful and disturbing. Several people questioned how such violence could happen in public while others simply watched.
One user wrote that the man should be “kicked by the police.” Another described the video as “very disturbing” and urged Rajasthan Police to take action. Many users said the silence of the crowd was just as worrying as the assault itself.
Some comments expressed deep concern about the treatment of women in public spaces. Others questioned why no one present tried to stop the man or protect the woman.
Rajasthan Police were repeatedly tagged in posts demanding immediate action against the man seen in the video. Some users also tagged senior officials, including IAS officer Tina Dabi, urging authorities to take the matter seriously.
Several posts stressed that public violence against women is a crime and should not be ignored, especially when video evidence is available.
At the time of writing, there is no official confirmation of an FIR or arrest linked to the video. However, the growing outrage has increased pressure on authorities to respond.

Debate over bystander silence and social mindset
The incident has also reopened debate about bystander behaviour. Many users questioned why no one intervened when the woman was attacked in full public view.
Some comments defended the silence, asking why others should intervene. This response itself triggered further anger, with many saying such thinking reflects moral decline.
Others highlighted that public events should be safe for everyone, especially women, and that silence only encourages further violence.

Wider concerns about women's safety
With the people acting as if nothing happened, the viral video has raised concerns about women's safety at public and social events.
Many stressed that dancing at a public or family event does not justify violence under any circumstance.
The incident from Barmer is now being seen as a symbol of deeper social problems, where abuse happens openly and accountability is missing.
