Prositution: A service industry


'Prostitution' is the act of using physical body for lewd purposes in return for payment. It is a service in any form indulging a body for the shake of profit. One may also refer to it as a 'Barter System' in which there is a exchange for food or clothes. Prostitution was synonyms to the women, but in recent times, men are also involved in providing service to this industry.
If we consider 'prostitution' as the part of the service industry, it is more than a $400 million industry. In recent time, it is a burning issue that can we legalize this world's oldest profession in India? If so, then what will be the consequences, weather it will help to stop illegal trafficking and add to taxes or it will have ill effects on the Indian society. I don't want to discuss the social impacts, though I know it won't have, but taking
financial aspects into consideration, it will add more to the growing economy like India. If we take it as the part of service industry and people working in it simply as 'sex workers', we will get positive potential out of this industry. It should be taken care of that each process has a class and service rendered should be in legal and hygienic way.
Thus if we treat this industry as sophisticated, have a right look towards it and aware that it should have wrong impact on our Indian society, it will create better and positive option for our economy.
