As supreme court overturned the ban on the dance bars in Mumbai, the debate is ON, Are dance bars harmful for moral values??
Can Mumbai citizens withstand the fact that their youngsters are squandering money over the bar girls?? It may be arguable, but, what is the harm caused by the dance bars when the red light areas in the city are full of colours. The ban proved to be pernicious to many citizens who were dependent on that business for their livelihood. In most of the cases, the victims were young woman who had to do the job because of their miserable economic conditions. Most of them are sole earners in their respective families. So, the bar girls are the ones most prone to the deleterious effects of the ban. Many have turned into CSW( commercial sex workers). And others were victims of human trafficking to Gulf countries like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain Muscat which were experiencing rise in demand for the Bollywood item numbers. But the abrogation of the ban is a result of the failure of Government in accomplishing the rehabilitation process for the victims.
This decision may be a relief for many, But it certainly challenges and attenuates the ethical and moral balance of the society.
Are we heading towards legalization of prostitution?
