Thousands of bar girls participated in a protest against Indian authorities decision of close down some 600 cabarets in the commercial capital Bombay, robbing the country's entertainment hub of one of its major attractions. Most bars in the state employ girls, who dress in colourful costumes and dance to Bollywood songs, as customers shower them with currency bills. REUTERS/Punit Paranjpe PP/LD
