A new playlist by Spotify which has Top 50 Indian music except Hindi music.

[Besmanty]

The Top 50 India playlist is filled with mostly Hindi musics, which does not reflect the whole of India. and it have following effects.

1. Overexposure to Mainstream Popularity: Hindi music listeners may sometimes gravitate towards songs that are heavily promoted and played on mainstream media, potentially overlooking hidden gems and emerging artists.

2. Dominance and Marginalization: The widespread prevalence of Hindi music and Bollywood can overshadow the rich musical traditions of India's diverse linguistic regions. This dominance can lead to the marginalization of regional languages and music styles.

3. Cultural Homogenization: The overwhelming popularity of Hindi music can sometimes contribute to a sense of cultural homogenization, where diverse regional identities are diluted in favor of a more uniform, Hindi-centric culture.

4. Commercialization: The commercial success of Hindi music often prioritizes profit over artistic integrity. This can lead to the production of formulaic, mass-appeal music that may lack originality and depth.

5. Stereotyping: Hindi speakers and their preferences in music can sometimes be subject to stereotypes, assuming that they only enjoy a specific style of music or Bollywood hits.
