'Each generation is a new people,' observed Alexis de Tocqueville.
This being the case ShaadiTimes takes a ring-side view at three generations- kal, aaj aur kal. How different is Gen X from their parents and grandparents? On what issues do they differ most and on what least?
Every generation is a melting pot of different kinds of people. Attitudes, mindsets and ideologies reflect each generation's interpretation of life.
In triple speak no one generation is either right or wrong. It is a point of view.
If you know your husband visits a dance bar how would you react?
Madhu Joshi, Housewife:
"I come from a middle class family and things like dance bars are not only taboo but also out of bounds for us. So, firstly my husband would never visit a dance bar and I would definitely not like it if he does so.
I also think that these centers should be shut down as they are of no use to the society. A woman should be treated with respect and dignity and such places where a woman is treated badly or looked down upon should certainly not be a part of our society."
COLOR=RED]Juhi Parmar, TV star:"I would never want my husband to visit a dance bar. And if he does than I would definitely object to it. But there are certain bars which are not cheap and are merely a source of entertainment for the men. So it also depends on the kind of a bar it is."
Pratibha Naithani, Social Activist:
"I would never like it because I think dance bars result in exploitation of women because when a man goes to a dance bar his whole approach of interacting and behaving with a woman changes.
Also, I think why do such centers exist? If all the dance bars are shut down then where would a man go? Also, when a middle class man goes to a dance bar he spends a valuable part of his earnings on the dancers out there. So, dance bars also create an economic burden on the society. I completely agree with the ban on the dance bars. And as they say that its a source of livelihood for the dancers then I think there are other ways of earning a living as well where a woman gets respect and maintains her dignity."
