Hindutva groups claim the popular EDM festival promotes obscene activities and abuse of narcotic substances in India.
Do you agree?
Sunburn, which started up in India in 2007, is one of Asia's largest events promoting electronic music.
The three-day festival, which brings some of the biggest music bands to India, finds itself in the eye of controversy.
After being denied permission to host the event in Goa this year, the organisers shifted the venue to Pune.
Hindutva groups have now come out against hosting the festival in the city.
Members of the Hindu Janjagruti Samiti, the Shiv Sena and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad recently protested in Pune, alleging that the festival promotes obscene activities and abuse of narcotic substances.
Ranaragini (which functions under the Hindu Janajagruti Mahila Shakha) is spearheading the movement against hosting Sunburn in Pune.
Pratiksha Korgawkar, state coordinator, Ranragini told Pune Mirror (external link) that the festival is 'blindly following Western culture.'
'With these kind of events,' she said, 'the youth get addicted to drugs. Because of absence of religious education, these kind of events get popular.'
We ask you, dear readers, do you think Sunburn is anti-Indian culture?
Should politicians have a say on what events can take place in the country?
Take the poll and tell us what you think.
