baul Singer Parvathy Baul Denied Entry to the U.S. Amid Concert Cancellation
In a shocking turn of events, renowned Baul singer Parvathy Baul faced important hurdles while attempting to enter the united States for a scheduled concert in san Francisco on May 18. This incident has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the treatment of artists at international borders. Parvathy took to social media to share her experience, revealing that not only was her concert canceled, but she and her team were also banned from entering the U.S. for five years.
Parvathy, who has traveled to the U.S. annually to promote Baul music, expressed her disbelief at the ordeal. She noted that this was her first negative experience at the border, having previously enjoyed smooth travels. During her questioning, she was subjected to intense scrutiny, with officials asking a barrage of questions that seemed to lead to misunderstandings. The situation escalated when she and her team were detained for nearly 14 hours without food or water, a stark contrast to her past experiences. Parvathy alleged that attempts were made to coerce them into agreeing to certain conditions, which they found unacceptable.
The repercussions of this incident have been severe, with Parvathy claiming that dissenting opinions led to their five-year ban from the U.S. She has since reached out to legal representatives and supporters in the U.S. to explore options for lifting the ban.This incident not only highlights the challenges faced by artists in navigating international borders but also raises questions about the treatment of cultural ambassadors in a globalized world.
