    Colonial clubs of India?

    Change rules, shout some, while others cite robust defense of European management rule at Breach Candy Club where race rumpus continues to simmer Vivek Jain and Viren Shah Recently, the Bombay High Court greenlighted a three-member team comprising Gerard Shirley, Alan Mooleman, and Anya Lehra to take over management of the prestigious Breach Candy Club.

    Another perspective in robust defense is that it is important to retain the essence and original aims of these spaces, so European-only management is fair as this was started by Europeans.

    Several members refused to give their names, citing club norms that bar them from speaking to the media, and some admitted that there were no rules but feared club action or reprimand for speaking out.

    They are not inclined to get into all these devious games.
    The club’s constitution needs to be changed first and then, those who were barred can contest the polls.

    An overarching view though, Jain said, is that “More than racial, it is that mostly all clubs have become political battlegrounds in their committee elections, and are driven by egos and one-upmanship.
