"What kind of conference is this?”
A medical conference in Chennai is facing backlash for a dance performance, which has been labelled “vulgar” by some social media users.
Clips of the performance show a woman dancing in a crowded room of men, believed to be medical professionals.
The woman, who was dressed in a pink bralette and matching shorts, was seen inviting male attendees to join in.
A few men joined in on the dancefloor as they held drinks.
It is believed that the performance took place at the Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons of India as a banner was displayed ‘ACRSICON 2024’.
The event was held at Taj Coromandel in Chennai from September 19 to 21, 2024.
A video was shared on X, along with the caption:
“This [is from the] annual conference of the Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons of India, held in Chennai on 19th to 21st Sep.
“What I want to know from the Indian Medical Association is this some kind of training in human anatomy?
“Old doctors grabbing a woman in public is what part of medicine practice?”
The dance divided opinion, with some calling the incident “vulgar”.
Meanwhile, others pointed out that there is no instance of anyone forcibly engaging with the woman.
A netizen said: “To be factually correct, no one really grabbed anyone.
“As a matter of fact, she ‘grabbed’ a person to dance with. Whether this whole scenario is cringe or if it is warranted is another matter.”
Another person said: “It’s not called grabbing, rather one is just dancing for fun.
“Moreover doctors are also humans, why can’t they have fun.”
A third asked: “They are doctors, all their lives they have done hard work and struggle. What will happen if they enjoy sometimes?”

On the other hand, some criticised the video as one asked:
“What kind of conference is this?”
Another said:
“At every official or other functions, women are made to dance. Isn’t it exploitation of the weaker sex?”
One user slammed: “Very shameful.”
A comment read: “Ashamed to see this kind of dance in any function.”
