The giveaway sense derives from the sweet being gifted during festivities like Lohri and Makar Sankranti or being distributed as a prasada. It gained prominence in political discourse in 2022, when the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the term रेवड़ी कल्चर (revṛī kalcar, “freebie culture”) in a speech to criticize what he termed as populist promises of services/benefits by some political parties.\nCognate with Kashmiri लिव॒॑रू॒ (liwa॒॑rū॒), Sindhi [script needed] (reviṛī), Punjabi ਰੇਉੜੀ (reuṛī), Nepali रेउड़ि (reuṛi), Bengali রেউড়ি (reuṛi), Gujarati રેવડી (revḍī), Marathi रेवडी (revḍī).",

The giveaway sense derives from the sweet being gifted during festivities like Lohri and Makar Sankranti or being distributed as a prasada. It gained prominence in political discourse in 2022, when the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the term रेवड़ी कल्चर (revṛī kalcar, “freebie culture”) in a speech to criticize what he termed as populist promises of services/benefits by some political parties.\nCognate with Kashmiri लिव॒॑रू॒ (liwa॒॑rū॒), Sindhi [script needed] (reviṛī), Punjabi ਰੇਉੜੀ (reuṛī), Nepali रेउड़ि (reuṛi), Bengali রেউড়ি (reuṛi), Gujarati રેવડી (revḍī), Marathi रेवडी (revḍī).",
