 I think it would be fair if RASA and other orgs stated it clearly in the ads that a particular event is to be attended mostly by "special needs children", so that other rasika's could decide if they want to attend a particular event or not.

It is no doubt that a bharatanatyam dance recital can be used for therapeutic purposes, or for advertising a brand of condoms, for example, but I am not sure that the ancient devadasi's would engage in this kind of activities.

About "No one wishes to be born like that", I wonder if there is anybody left on this forum who believes in the laws of Karma and the 'deferred justice".
