For better or worse, dance bars make a comeback in Mumbai | beyondbrics:

"

After being banned for eight years, dance bars are set to reopen in the state of Maharashtra, home to India’s commercial capital, Mumbai.

This week, the Supreme Court overturned a ban put into place by the Bombay Police (Amendment) Act 2005 that led to the closure of an estimated 1,500 establishments and the loss of over 75,000 jobs – but probably far more than that in reality.

The interesting thing about the 2005 Act is that it was brazenly selective in nature."
