Holding hands? It's a touchy issue
- Behaviour guidelines in Ajmer spark outrage in tourism industry
GARIMA SINGH
New Delhi, Dec. 1: In a land west of here, women are forbidden from talking
to strangers and men from holding their wives hands in public. Visitors are
expected to fall in line.
Clue: the region is famous for its desert and its people are allergic to
Israelis.
Saudi Arabia?
Got you there. It's Rajasthan, in the year 2005.
The Ajmer Authority has come out with a 20-page booklet, authored by Dr
Prithvi Raj Sankhla, IAS, subdivisional magistrate, "to educate foreign
tourists about local culture and sensibilities".
One of the guidelines or "suggestions" says a man must never touch a woman in
public, even to help her out of a car, unless she is very elderly or infirm.
Another one says - at a time when the country is trying to project itself as a
technically advanced, rising economic power - that in Indian culture, men
socialise only with men, and women only with women.
Asian married couples, cautions a third, dont hug, hold hands or kiss in
public.
Travel operators are aghast, especially keeping in mind the famous annual fair
in Ajmers holy town of Pushkar, a top draw for tourists.

New Delhi, Dec. 1: In a land west of here, women are forbidden from talking
to strangers and men from holding their wivesâ hands in public. Visitors are

Clue: the region is famous for its desert and its people are allergic to
Israelis.

The Ajmer Authority has come out with a 20-page booklet, authored by Dr

One of the guidelines or âsuggestionsâ says a man must never touch a woman

Asian married couples, cautions a third, donât hug, hold hands or kiss in

Travel operators are aghast, especially keeping in mind the famous annual
fair in Ajmerâs holy town of Pushkar, a top draw for tourists.
âThis is unacceptable. Tourists will never adhere to such a code,â says
Major Muralidhar, senior vice-president, Indian Association of Tour Operators.
âFor a foreign tourist, helping a woman out of a bus or a car is a matter of
courtesy. If necessary, we will take up the matter with the Authority.â
The âsuggestionsâ, listed under the title âfew cultural cues and
cluesâ,
come together with a set of rules, termed âdos and donâtsâ. Flouting
these
can attract six monthsâ imprisonment or fines or both under the Indian Penal
Code or the Criminal Procedure Code, local officials said.
The âdonâtsâ include âsmooching at the (Pushkar) ghats, consumption of
alcohol, drugs and non-vegetarian foodâ. It calls on tourists to âdress up
decently in public places and do no (sic) embraceâ.
The definition of âdecent dressâ, however, has been left to the
touristsâ
imagination.
âWe feel⦠any dress code should not be made mandatory,â protests Praveen
Chugh, vice-president, Travel Agents Federation of India. âAlso, we need
detailed explanation of the term âdecentâ.â
The booklet follows public outrage at the behaviour of some western and
Israeli tourists in Pushkar.

the entire exercise.
âOn what basis has the Authority drafted such guidelines?â Rajeev Talwar
said. âHow many people do they expect will bother to read it in the first
place? And also, do we really expect the police to intervene and stop such
behaviour?â
The guidelines advise against hugging or kissing at airports and railway
stations, and says drinking alcohol or smoking in public will be seen as a

of moral laxity.
âWith such guidelines, how do you expect to draw tourists to the city?â
