Do you people know which is the oldest money in the world ? Without us even heaven is incomplete brother. An undercover investigation, the scale of prostitution in India or in Hindi, we can call prostitution in India in Hindi or in English. Try to understand but even today in India it is considered a taboo subject, whereas none of us can deny that prostitution has been going on in India for centuries. It is believed that today the market of prostitution across the world is around Rs 100 billion.
It is worth US dollars and according to the United Nations, currently about seven to 10 lakh prostitutes are working in India. In 2022, the Supreme Court had said in a decision that voluntary prostitution should be considered legal. Hello friends, I am Rajat. Singh and once again welcome all of you to your own channel Shor, today we are going to talk about Prostitution in India, we keep hearing about it but it is a very taboo subject, we do not want to talk about it or maybe not in mind. If we
want to give help to those people who have been engaged in this business as sex workers for centuries, then today we will see what is its socio-economic impact on our society and what kind of circumstances are their lives. The Supreme Court of Humanity said that sex workers are also entitled to respect and equality before the law. However, the Supreme Court of Humanity also said that running a brothel or brothel is illegal in this country. However, in the changing Indian society, many big people
are increasingly Changes are coming but there has been no significant improvement in the condition of sex workers in India for a long time. There was a concept of Nagarvadhu in India since ancient times and at that time the Devdasi system was also systematically present in our society and the practice of having Devdas. Even today, it can be seen in some areas of India, although it has been banned by law. To stop this Devdasi practice, Karnataka made rules in 1982, Tamil Nadu in 1947, Andhra Pra
desh in 1988 and Maharashtra in 2005. 2015 The JJ Act made in 1939 was also another attempt in the same direction but it did not make much difference, although the Devdasi system has seen a very rapid increase in earnings in this country. If we look at the Mughal period, the practice of prostitution at that time was similar to that of tawaifs and harems. The Mughal rulers had given administrative protection to the prostitutes for their army, but after the Mughal period, the condition of the sex
workers engaged in prostitution started deteriorating rapidly because now that administrative protection was gradually disappearing. In 18644, the British brought the Cantonment Act in India, under which the British brought the Kotha culture for their soldiers and such areas were called red light areas at that time. Initially, these Kothas had European women or Japanese women, but gradually Indian women were included in them. Girls also started being recruited. After the departure of the British
, the protection given to these sex workers by the government almost stopped completely, hence their condition started worsening in independent India. Today in India, six to seven lakh people are recruited every day. We come in contact with these sex workers regularly and the problems of these sex workers are huge in themselves and their impact on the society is also huge. According to a survey, more than 30 per cent of sex workers in India are infected with HIV or AIDS. Prostitution has become
a big industry in India but even today due to lack of government commercial acceptance, it is a matter of concern for all of us and also for the government. Sex workers stay away from the main stream banking system and since they are not able to get many types of education loans or training or become part of the banking system, their children are also found involved in prostitution. Most of the sex workers do not have any kind of money. There is no other or better skilled training nor is there a
ny employment training, hence they do not have any better options regarding career and due to people looking down on them in the society, they do not find themselves fit in this social order and do not have sex. Work seems to be the only option for these people, hence for a long time from generation to generation, they and their children are often found engaged in the same work. If we look towards the future, then those who oppose it on the issue of legalizing sex class will Or people from both
sides supporting it can find their own justified arguments and both will always feel that their arguments are always right but perhaps now the time has come. It has happened that now the sex class should also get social recognition because after the judgment of the Supreme Court it has become legal. Today in India about 6 to 10 lakh people are coming in contact with sex workers regularly every day and if the sex workers If we do not provide them recognition and guarantee basic labor rights, then
perhaps we will never be able to provide them better health facilities and if we include these in our legal framework, then perhaps there is a possibility of curbing AIDS or STDs in India. And anyway no society has ever been able to stop sex work till date and until it is recognized as a profession, human trafficking i.e. buying and selling of girls for money will not be stopped and we Often you will see in newspapers or news that girls are being bought and sold and they are being forced to bec
ome sex workers, although there are many laws in India for the safety and protection of sex workers, but there are many laws which are not being implemented in improving the lives of sex workers.
