- 7 years ago
It is very clear that why prostitution (exchange of se*ual services for money) is believed to be the oldest occupation in the world. In the early times, courtesans enjoyed a royal status in the empires, something that has been dropped down to a terribly poor condition in India today.
Even though prostitution is illegal in India, did you know that there are places in the country where women even today are largely dependent on it for their livelihood? Scroll down to know the reality of these places…
Kamathipura, Mumbai
This place in Mumbai no longer exists by its actual name and is quite famous for brothels and is now popular as ‘Red Street of Bombay’. The area boasts of being the second largest Red Light Areas (RLA) of Asia. Undoubtedly, the area is one of the most dangerous places in the financial capital where the crime rate is not likely to come down ever. Well, is that how we really tag Mumbai as the ‘City of Dreams’?
Wadia, Gujarat
The women in this area, ever since the older times, have been popular for supporting their families through prostitution, while men here actually find customers for the ladies. In accurate words, the men in this town are pimps and the culture has been existing for centuries, because of which it is difficult to even put an end to it. Education drives and mass weddings have left a small effect but the practice at large is being followed illegally.
Shivdaspur, Varanasi
Varanasi since ancient times is famous for brothels and the elegant danseuses, what we call it as a ‘tawaif culture’. Some Bollywood movies too have shown the darker side of the culture but a similar situation still persists and at a more atrocious scale.
This area, situated 10 km from the Varanasi Railway Station is one of the biggest Red Light Areas of Uttar Pradesh.
Several NGOs too are established in and around the area that helps in saving kids from getting into prostitution.
