Sonia Faleiro’s book Beautiful Thing: Inside the Secret World of Bombay’s Dance Bars was named the book of the year in 2011, by publications like The Guardian and The Economist. It received rich praise from Indian and international reviewers for the way Faleiro told the story of Leela, a 19-year-old woman who made a living as a bar dancer. Based on five years of research and the time that Faleiro spent in Leela’s company, Faleiro’s writing was described by The Sunday Times as, “A tour de force of reportage, whose depth, insight and resonance make it the equal of the best fiction.” Faleiro spoke to Firstpost about the SC verdict lifting the Maharashtra government’s ban on dance bars.
Do you think agree with the Supreme Court’s decision?
The Court upheld a woman’s right to work, stating that “even a bar dancer has to satisfy her hunger”.
