Reopening dance bars: Time to awaken our morals

Finally, a cheerful day has arrived to the dance bar owners and the dancers. Supreme Court finally lifts the ban from the dance bars and as the dance bar’s legal representative has said that one can earn the living by dancing, now it’s the time for them to make some money.  Social activists, Maharashtra police and government of Maharashtra were taken aback by the decisions but now it’s useless.  According to the government, dance bar will acts as a den to the anti-social elements while social activists sees it as the beginning of the fall of the Indian culture.

Let’s not get into the details about it, when I first read the news, I was also a bit surprised

surprised by the decision.  I never expected the Supreme Court to give such decisions but never the less I personally welcomed this type of decisions. Banning the dance bars just because it is hurting the religious and social sentiments is not a good thing at all. Moreover, if you are allowing the person to vote at the age 18 and getting married at 21 (for boys) then why you are not allowing him to decide what’s right and what’s wrong. 

If the person is finding it wrong then he can stay at safe distance from the dance bars.  Though the concern of police is quite valid but I am sure that they can surely find a way to handle this. For most of us it’s the decision that can provoke the youngsters to indulge in such inappropriate activity (as per social activists) but then again it’s necessary for the development of morals. Restraining the person to choose the activity of enjoyment is not suited to 21 century India and it would far better if we keep the citizens free to choose what they want to do.

You cannot teach the person what is right if you are not presenting him what is wrong. Moreover, watching the dance is not a bad thing at all. It’s neither injurious to health nor it contaminate the mentality of the person. For all those who are disappointed by the decisions, I apologize to them for writing this blog. Let’s see what will be the outcome of this decision and let’s hope we can develop a strong moral.
