Cheerleaders will not be banned in Mumbai

The debate over having cheerleaders perform in DLF IPL matches to be held in Mumbai, is finally starting to settle with the Mumbai police saying that the cheerleaders will not be banned.

The police assured that no cheerleaders will be arrested. However, they were dubious in saying that the authorities will be blamed if the cheerleaders would dress obscenly. I am not sure who is the authority to decide what is obscene and what is not. The term obscene is not absolute and may mean different to different people.

Earlier, on Thursday, the Maharashtra government had said that it was considering a ban on cheerleaders in the DLF IPL matches in Mumbai.

I still remember the hoopla we had when India was chosen for the Miss World Contest. We all have to wait to see people grow up. I think the tournament has been held in good spirits and issues like this should not take away the charm away from it.
