Dhobe’s Pub Raid in Mumbai Bar. What’s Wrong?

The arrest , detention and subsequent release of 11 women on suspicion of prostitution has evoked strong protests.

The released women have sued for damage of Rs. One crore for wrongful detention.

By way of explanation the Commissioner Dhobe stated that the ‘Birth day party’ was a cover for prostitution.

The males were charged Rs. 3000 as entry fee while the it was free for women.

The times of India news report( 13 June 2012 page 11 Bangalore Edition) bemoans that the Free Admission for females is a marketing strategy!

I know of hotels (Five Star) fixing up entry fee for males and free entry to women for special occasions like New Year and for fixed programmes  in the year.

Pray tell me why this concern?

In some cases, the courtesy is extended only to Single females.

I know a Five Star Hotel in the heart of Chennai conducts a Male Cabaret Show on fixed days and only Ladies are allowed.

This is also a marketing strategy?

For what?

The Hotel Industry is helping women to emancipate themselves?

Every one knows what happens in these parties.

If you mix with people of dubious character , you will be called as one.

How do you expect the Police to know who is a prostitute?

By visiting them personally in each case?

Circumstantial evidence, it is called.

Another grouse is that working women want to’ relax”in a bar!

Very well

Look at what happens to t women in a pub or near about?

GURGAON: The curb on stag entry at pubs and night clubs in Gurgaon has spawned a new culture, which has served to corrupt more than cleanse. There are scores of women escorts hanging around pubs, waiting to help a ‘single’ man gain entry in return for big money. And the business is booming with police turning a blind eye.

The escorts ensure easy entry for single men who pay them anywhere between Rs 500 to Rs 5,000 depending on the services offered. They share the dance floor and even share a drink with their clients.

Still want to a Bar for ‘Relaxation?”

Those who advocate this type of freedom and Tweet sarcastically, may ask themselves’ Will I send my wife/sister/daughter to these bars/pubs?”
