I think we should associate ourselves with our real Hill identity like Garhwali, Kumaoni, Jounsari, Bhotiya instead of "PaHaDi"
The term "PahAdi" have already became way too stereotypical and idk about Himachal but in Uttrakhand I have always seen old people introducing themselves with the identity of Garhwali, Kumaoni etc this "PahAdi" trend We should ignore these so called chapri insta wale Uttrakhandis who did spawn this idea of calling every Hill based Uttrakhandi person a "Pahadi" and be more accustom and put more emphasis to our actual Garhwali, Kumaoni, Jounsari identity. In recent years there had been the influx of these Pahadi - Pahadan reels .
