Just Dance is the message Hritik is spreading to aspiring dancers though his new show while Just Dance in a Decent Way is what the Mumbai Police is advocating the youth to do.
The recent detention of 31 youngsters for dancing indecently at a Malad lounge has caused an outrage in the city. The police justified their action on ‘moral grounds’ stating that the way in which the youngsters were dancing was vulgar and indecent. But many in the city consider this as yet another case of ‘moral policing’. Many legal experts infact are of the opinion that such a raid by the cops on youngsters who were not doing anything illegal is a violation of their privacy.
Aren’t the cops having better and more important work to do? Instead of grabbing hold of youngsters and moral policing them, they are suppose to grab hold of criminals and gangsters. What is more ridiculous to understand is, who are these cops to decide and take a call on indecency in dancing. Are these cops the law makers, the masters of the art of dancing, choreographers or judges of dance reality shows to do so? Is there any sensible justification for such irrational action.
One also cannot drive away from the possibility that the same bunch of cops who arrested the youth might have at least once themselves done an obnoxious-lecherous-style dance seeing videos of Munni and Sheila. And if these guys are so good at defining decency in dancing, then why haven’t they raised similar questions on the latkas & thumkas & pelvic thrusts done in cinema and other dance shows for such a long time.
It's time that we enforce the right laws at the right place and start enacting on issues that really matter. I would like to end this post by leaving a short message to the Police who try to moral police - Naach Na Aaye Angan Teda…..
