India hotel refuses room to solo female traveller
The plight of a female artist who was refused a hotel room in the southern city of Hyderabad as she was a solo traveller has gone viral in India.
Nupur Saraswat, a spoken word artist, told the BBC she was in the city for a performance but was told by her hotel that "single ladies" were not allowed.
The hotel has argued that the area it is in "is not [the] right place" for single women.
Under the hotel policies, "locals and unmarried couples" are also forbidden.
