I would be very cautious about adding in CATW as a reference, this is not a credible source but a very ideological group with little respect for accuracy. -- Mgoodyear ( talk) 18:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I clarified about legal issues with PITA including term of imprisonment. Revisions welcome. Coachesstand ( talk) 04:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
noted this "adding over 2,85,000 people have benefited to date." seeing as this is not a real number this needs to be corrected or i will remove, or research this fact and correct it-- Kr4ft ( talk) 18:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
It is dead wrong to start this article by saying that "Prostitution is legal in India." Your argument that solicitation is illegal, and not prostitution is absolutely illogical. Any prostitution (sex in exchange for payment) is always preceded by solicitation of some form - whether a man offers a woman to money for sex or a woman asks a man to pay for sex. The only situation when it would be legal is when neither talk about money and the payment is made voluntarily. Later, this article does say that the legal situation is unclear, and that contradicts this opening sentence. Please read PITA; it's a rather long document, but do read and you will find that sex for money anywhere is illegal. If you just google using the words 'sex racket prostitution and add any city name in India", you will find lots of news articles about owners of the premises (not just hotels, but private residences too), customers, and prostitutes, all arrested. The first sentence contradicts a later sentence that says that the legal status of prostitution is unclear. PROSTITUION IS ILLEGAL IN INDIA. Please help the world by checking this so that those traveling to India don't get arrested and imprisoned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.33.222.252 ( talk) 19:14, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
I think this demands some clarification. How can someone be arrested for a legal activity? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.204.113.33 ( talk) 17:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

The following was deleted by User:Muhandes with the comment 'Seems rather trivial and WP:UNDUE, please discuss on talk page'
The deleted content is perfectly acceptable for inclusion to me. It is a viewpoint of somebody involved in the article's main subject (Prostitution in India) and I don't see it as WP:UNDUE or trivial.
As a general principle, deleting content that is not a clear breach of policies or guidelines and then asking for a discussion about it is wrong IMO. It would seem far more logical to discuss first and then delete (or not) as a result of the discussion. John B123 ( talk) 13:14, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
