Dance Bars

Yesterday Supreme Court of India pulled up Maharastra government for not granting licence to dance bars. Court said that it is better to dance in a dance bar than beg on street. I don't agree to this comment. The girls who are dancing in dance bars are not even paid minimum wages by the bar and are dependent on the tips offered by drunkards in the bar. They have to dance obscenely to please these drunkards to get tips from them. It is even worse than begging. It is not a dance show where people buy a ticket and dancers are paid from the ticket amount.

Many young girls are kidnapped and trafficked to Mumbai for dancing in dance bars in Mumbai. There is big mafia of crimes which runs in these dance bars. Government is doing right things by not allowing dance bars in Mumbai.

If elected representatives of the people feel that something needs to be banned in the state then there should have been some merit in that. It is responsibility of government to maintain law and order in state. What is allowed and what is allowed in the state should be best left to representative of the people and not judiciary. I see this as case of shameless judicial corruption. Judges have taken bribe from owners of dance bars and are forcing government to legalize something which is illegal.

What a Suprme Court : and what a stupid decision or verdict - Court says, better dance to the tunes of drunkards and lose ur self-respect. Now all beggar women can join together to form dance bar and that too, near and around schools, colleges and educational institutions. A court or verdict which will spoil the moral fabric of the country needs to be removed or nullified.
