comes, ironically, from Gandhi's Dandi March (also called Salt March) 75 years ago, which protested the salt laws of the British rule in India. Gandhi, who also said that you have the duty to disobey unjust laws, was the chief proponent of an alcohol-free India. One of our objectives is to make a case that the context under which Gandhi instituted prohibition is not valid today. Today, alcohol prohibition in Gujarat is an outdated, corruption and crime breeding, short sighted law which must be systematically removed. Keeping up with Bapu's spirit, the Maltmarch community plans to march to the Sachivalay and have a drink in defiance of the prohibition law (date undecided).

Mahatma - Father of Nation

Drinking is a fundamental right of human. Being a biggest democratic country of the world, India should think about it's progress. I am not saying we should forget the values of Mahatma Gandhi - he is still and will be the BAPU and Father of the nation but even he would not want Gujarat to hit so many bad waves (earthquake, droughts, terrorist attacks, floods etc.) and not see a growth scale of economics.
I have read most of the books of Mahatma Gandhi - I respect him like every Indians do. He is Father of Freedom and Father of every Indian, his quotes and his saying clearly states that he wanted to see India on a RISE. Even Mahatma Gandhi once said - "I want freedom for the full expression of my personality".
