A case for shower curtains in Indian bathrooms

I've been travelling for the last handful of weeks and have been facing a small issue - wet ankles. 

Many Indian bathrooms aren't designed well enough to have a bath. There aren't dedicated bathing zones, clearly demarcated and separated from the rest of the areas so as to not leave the entire floor wet after taking a bath.

A usual Indian bathroom where the bathing area bleeds into the toilet and the wash-basin areas leaving the entire floor wet after someone takes a bath. 

The problem with a wet bathroom floor is a very practical one. It makes the entire floor slippery increasing the risk of accident and injury, but that's not why I'm complaining. I'm still young and have a relatively good sense of balance. My problem is post-bath, when I'm dressing myself, the act of wearing pants without them rubbing off the bathroom floor and getting wet becomes difficult. The hem of the pant almost always inevitably gets wet and you are left with cold ankles for at least a couple of hours till it dries off on its own.

This can easily be solved by introducing some sort of partition between the dry and wet zones of the bathroom. This can come in various forms, two easiest ones that come to my mind are either a glass partition or a simple shower curtain, any of them additionally paired with a sunk dedicated bathing area. Glass partitions and sunk bathing areas may not be always possible due to many practical constraints - space, money, etc, but a simple shower curtain rod and a plastic shower curtain can be easily added to any existing bathroom.

 

A simple space separator dividing the bathroom into dry and wet areas. An additional separator can be added between the toilet bowl and the bathing area to get more dry zones.
