On a journey to India today I will show you the laws and strange things that even in the imagination of humanity have never been thought of before number 15 banon alcohol advertising this is perhaps one of the longest standing prohibitions on this list ninia advertising alcoholic beverages has been illegal since the
Late 1990s in fact many states across the country such as Gujarat nagaland Manipur and misam have gone a step further and strictly prohibit the consumption of alcohol together but alcohol companies have found alternative solutions to convey their brand to Consumers one such example is surrogate advertising where liquor companies
Promote their brands by advertising various brand extensions like mineral water soda CDs Airlines and even a cricket team it is said that India is a significant market for whiskey in the world and Lial companies cleverly circumvent the ban by finding loopholes in the law to advertise their brands in
Fact among the list today this is the most practical prohibition but it is not effective when Indian men can be considered true alcohol enthusiasts number 14 Ben on dancing in bars I don’t know if they have perception issues or not but bars are clearly created for rry and partying yet
People in India are banned from dancing there initially this ban applied to female dancers in bars if you are a woman and caught dancing in a dance bar in India you could be finded a minimum of $10,000 and could ultimately face 3 years in prison it is believe that these
Bars are seen as establishments with deviant interests therefore to curbit the government passed a law revoking licenses of all dance bars as days go by the measures of Indian authorities become more stringent and Indian police even arrest all girls dancing in bars whether they are dancers or just guests
Out to have fun one truly insane and conflicting aspect of this band is it India considers the profession of prostitution legal so why ban female ancers in bars who are often much more graceful than sex workers number 13 B on parties with foreigners dance lingery and now parties
This list couldn’t get any sadder than this the Kent ataka State government in India recently banned party organizers from inviting foreigners to events unless approved by the government the reason for this is the increasing number of crimes against foreign citizens in India this has become a serious concern
And thus the government decided to prohibit their participation in Social Gatherings without prior permission even if you can invite Reanna Bieber or one direction to your party but you will have to provide details of all the foreign guests to the police beforehand and allow the authorities to film them

Used to produce this delicacy from Goose liver are cruel they also argued that they wanted the ban cuz large restaurants were promoting the use of Foy grass as a peculiar thing throughout the country a preference that could be a crime in reality some countries like Israel Germany the UK and the state of
California have banned the production of foyer grass but India is the first country to cease its import number 11 taboo on menstruation while all developed countries in the world educate children about gender openly from an early age in the second most populous country in the world this issue is often overlooked the menstrual

About menstruation Public Health experts and non-governmental organizations working in this field also highlight the lack of basic services such as access to sanitation and clean water as well as societal prejudices harassment and Taboo in addition to the mental and psychological stress a significant challenge in the menstrual hygiene issue
Is that many people lack access to essential products for many menstruation and how to deal with it are still obscured by cultural and social tabos and restrictions leading to adolescent girls being unaware of scientific facts and health hygiene practices sometimes causing health issues this culture of Silence creates a sense of Shame about
Menstruation within families and communities number 10 men holding hands if one day you happen to see two men holding hands you might think they’re a gay couple but if you ever set foot in India this is entirely nor anywhere in India we can witness moments of handholding between
Men asking some men about why they hold hands in public they seem to be puzzled by the question it’s understandable because from birth Indian men have had this Habit in Indian culture holding hands signifies intimate friendship between brothers or friends this closeness is not limited to men women do
The same Indian women walking together might hold hands interlace their fingers simply expressing cat in certain situations like religious ceremonies festivals or significant events holding hands also signifies unity and Community Spirit In general the act of men holding hands in India represents friendly affection rather than romantic love so

Portraying the figure of a woman or any of her body parts in an indecent corrupt or injurious manner to public morality this B immediately faced strong opposition from most of the Indian population ironically these mannequins are not as provocative as the sensual sculptures and carvings in famous temples like kajiro where scenes of
Group sexual activities are displayed female customers had varying opinions some welcomed the ban believing it would reduce sexual attacks on women others opposed the ban considering it foolish and backward if you visit India you may need to enter a store to know it sells lundry because there won’t be any signs
