Supreme Court's verdict to allow Dance Bars in Maharashtra will raise a debate. With due respect to highest court of the country, we all must carefully see which way we are going. And this debate must remain gender neutral because just like men can throw money on dancing girls, women will be seen throwing money on boys.
Few verdicts which we must think about:
1. This one on dance bars
2. Public display of affection
3. Cross gender massage
Now combine with current status.
Recently teenagers were caught from a pub being served alcohol and hukkah and possible sex as reported. The rising sex and vulgarity in movies, availability of sex on internet and phones etc. What is our path?
We are fighting with cases of rapes, sexual harassment and sexual exploitation. Inspite of recent Anti Rape bill, everyday we come across rapes and cases of sexual harassment. There is no stopping. No one has any clue, any answer to these. That is the result of mindset of society. Degradation has no limit and time will prove this.
One plea is that it is about basic right to work. Yes all citizens have right to work but when that was put in the constitution, those who did it must have never imagined that such kind of works will ever come into existence. It is for both law makers and society at large to decide what kind of society we wish to create? Tolerance does not mean to accept everything without understanding the implications. Is this the only way of employment? Is this the right way of entertainment? What kind of mindset we are going to create in society.
Tolerable should be tolerated just like love marriage and valentines day which pose no harm to society. But such things which are going to create a path of degradation must be opposed but through peaceful and legal manner.
No need to blindly follow other countries. Modern society is possible with decency and self discipline. We can set brighter example for others.
