In Hyderabad, a new trend of co-living hostels is spreading fast. What once was the time of OYO rooms has now turned into co-living culture. These hostels allow boys and girls to stay together in the same rooms. Many parents are not aware of what is happening inside these places.
Social observers say this culture is slowly damaging Indian traditions. Concerns are being raised that young boys and girls are living with multiple partners before marriage. This lifestyle, once seen only in western countries, is now becoming common in Hyderabad.
Citizens fear that co-living hostels are nothing less than modern brothel houses in the name of freedom and comfort. They say it is an alarming trend that may disturb the social fabric and values of the city.
Families and cultural organisations are demanding that the government take strict action. They believe this culture is dangerous for society and harmful to the future of youth.
Saviours of Sanathana Dharma and other cultural protectors are being urged to focus on this issue. Many believe that protecting traditional values is as important as protecting religion itself.
If strong steps are not taken, experts warn that this co-living culture may spread to other cities across the state and country.
