Pub Culture

A Pub is public house. It is a building where people go to drink and meet their friends.Pubs serve alcoholic and other drinks and often also
food.Pub culture is an urban phenomenon.A Pub is essentially a place for socialising.Boys and Girls have started going to these places
and engaging in chit chat.Young boys with money to burn like to take their friends among girls to pubs.Sometimes these visits to pubs lead to
inappropriate conduct on the part of youngsters.It is quite possible that parents of pub going boys and girls do not like their ward to go to
these pubsbut they dare not scold them fearing defiance.Probably they report to police to stop them from visiting these pubs.That is why
Chairperson of Orrisa State Commision for women chased the boys and girls sitting in a city park in 'Operation Park'.Soe girks who werw
sitting in a park were brutally beaten by Meerut Police.Bar girls in Mumbai were also warned from going to bars.Recently in Manglore some girls
were beaten by some kind of moral police on the ground that they indulging in activities that were against the Indian culture.There
were supporters and opponents of this kind of pub culture.Owners of pubs support this type of culture because it brings them more and more
business.They want this to continue. They argue citizens of a free country have a right to attend party.Party loving girls are angry at the
suggestion that young women cannot party in an age when they can go to space.Owners of pubs say that opponents ofthe pub culture want to bring
Taliban-like movement.This is a far-fetched view.There are others who say that pub culture is encouraging smoking,drinking and promiscuous
conduct on the part of boys and girls.Such conduct later leads to complications.Indecent songs and films on television and pub culture are
doing a lot of damage to the youth of the country.It is in this context that the harmful side of pub culture should be viewed.Let us not
to be carried away by new fangled practices.A mother advising her grown-up daughter to dress properly and not provocatively is not acting
like a moral police.The nuisance of eve-teasing will become more serious if pub culture becoes prevalent.Let us watch our steps.
