Candid Appearances; Sordid Reality – Bar Dancers: Just another Profession

This case study is a part of a ‘social out-bound project’ of the students of ‘Business Communication’. It is about a detested and mistreated section of our society, i.e. the female dancers of the infamous dance bars, of Maharashtra and Mumbai region. This project has a twin purpose of understanding the morbid nature of India's two-face reaction and responses to social evils as well as finds a way out of this abyss. Political intrusion is both the cause and effect of social evils. We looked at the unbalanced and prejudicial approach of government in their ‘clean city’ drive. This study aims at understanding the different view points of different sections of Indian society before, during and after the lifting of ban on dance bars by the Supreme Court of India. We collected data through direct observation, interview and examination of available records and evidences. This case should help the readers to get a deep insight about the ‘after effect’ of the ban on people associated with dance bars, unfulfilled promises of the government and society's negligence. It should help us to take initiative to contribute to the welfare and upbringing of exploited and affected women.
