End of Cabaret Era – Beginning of Dance Bars

Helen’s Bollywood Zinga

Who can swing like this?

End of an era! Helen

Out of the blue, on a clear Monday morning I had this question bloating in my mind. What happened to those Cabaret dancers during 70’s and who stopped cabaret dance in India and why?

Probably, it’s a spinoff of another curb in Bangalore. Anyways the scenario in 2013 looks similar to what it has transpired during late 70’s. Someone with a fancy opinion decided to ban it. It’s easy to do it in India. changing name’s of cities, hartals and bans.

Here are some of my questions:

  1. Why did (you or they) ban cabaret in India? 
  2. What was (your or their) intention behind cabaret ban in India?
  3. Did you succeed in your moral feat?
  4. What happened to the accordion players and live band players?
  5. Where did the dancers go? Where are they now? Did you take care of them?
  6. What did you eventually achieve?

Also, similar question should be addressed to ban on dance bars in Bangalore and the ban on night life in Bangalore. Who does it and what’s the sincere intention? Can someone with straight head tell we why?

And….

When will it all change? In  2015 , or 2016 or 2020
How long can you curb a social habit?
What will the future generation think of this stupidity?

It’s just out of sheer curiosity that I’m putting these questions. Hope to receive a politically correct answer to it.

Thank You!
