mujra


Last month, many in Bollywood were surprised to know that Deepika Padukone turned down an offer of Rs. 4 crore, to perform in a private party in London. It sure is a huge money to perform a 4 minutes dance at the rate of 1 crore per minute! I wanted to know the hidden reason behind the turndown of the lucrative offer by Deepika.

Various reports in in initial days of 2000s revealed that mujra culture in it’s worst form was in rise in London. Illicit trade of sex was in rise under the name of ‘mujra’, a traditional Indian dance, and the hot item numbers of Bollywood films as a cover, Asian teenage girls were being forced into sexual slavery in the United Kingdom. Such businesses used to be operated by by gangs as part of an organized crime.

The demand of foreign Mujra dancers in parties has challenged the local artists in Delhi and other Indian cities.

Previously Mujra used to be considered a form of art but today, these dancers are associated to prostitution. The term ‘tawaif’ (courtesans) has converted itself and became synonymous with sex workers and the dance rooms ‘kothas’ have been associated with brothels.

Previously Mujra used to be performed on ‘thumris’, ghazals or poems of Ghalib. But, thime has changed now and today it is performed to Bollywood dance numbers. The dance Rekha did in the movie ‘Umrao Jaan’ and Meena Kumari in ‘Pakeezah,’ are no longer danced in reality.

Footwork used to be emphasized in the original mujra dances. Now the emphasis has shifted towards more on more prominent body parts.

Although the demand of Mujra dancers is in increasing trend, there is no demand for Indian dancers. The demand for blonde European women has gone up and white women are preferred to the local talents. (more…)

Following is the article written by Daya Sagar Sharma titled Why ban only dance bars, there are many other trades ?? and published in americanchronicle.com on January 03, 2008.

Acts that are termed as immoral are those that adversely affect the quality of life and social standards of a community and hence ultimately even the economy and security of a country.

It is a hard fact that the forced prostitution, the illegal extra marital sexual relations and the like activities not only affect the participants but also adversely affect other members of the society. And ofcourse the social moral values and ethical sensitivity of the members of the society too fall. More dangers emerge when the youth gets involved in such affairs and the new generation cares more for material lust than social lust. The hazards to health and adverse economic affects on the education & nutrition levels of the other family members of those involved result damage to the overall growth and economy of any country . The security and economic growth of any society is badly affected under such conditions. It is here where comes the need to worry seriously.

The banned exotic dance Mujra is being organised in secret locations in the city attended by the rich and mighty while flesh trade is thriving in the guise of tawaif and girls are being sent abroad to entertain guests.

Though it is legally banned, the mujra, one of the Indian subcontinent’s most beautiful and ancient dance forms, is being performed secretly among the high class society in posh localities in the city. The exotic dance was banned as it became less artistic and more seductive especially in stage shows.

There are about seven mujra organisers having sensuous girls with them. Even the bar dancers are now learning mujra dancing as the income is high and they get good customers. The organisers charge anything between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh from the customers depending on the manner of the party.

Years ago Mahabub-ki-Mehendi (beloved’s bleach) was famous for tawaif (women who perform mujra) and kota (place where mujra is performed). During the tenure of the sixth Nizam, Mehboob Ali Pasha, Mahabub-ki-Mehendi was famous for singing and dancing and high class people used to send their sons to kota to learning tehazeeb (manners). The tawaif used to teach them how to talk to and behave with the elders that was considered as most important in those days.
