The book examines the paradox of repeated legislative attempts in Bombay to regulate prostitution amidst the booming sex industry from the nineteenth to the twentieth centuries. Ashwini Tambe investigates the reasons behind the failure of these laws and delves into the underlying motives of the lawmakers, challenging the conventional understanding of their effectiveness and intent. Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the complexities of legal frameworks and societal responses to prostitution.
