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 Today, alcohol prohibition in Gujarat is an outdated, corruption and crime breeding, short sighted law which must be systematically removed.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).

Donors will get a summary of where & how their funds were used. Don't worry, we don't use donation money to buy booze.The truth is that nobody (by this I mean people I have talked with or overheard discussing the issue) actually gives a fuck about Prohibition or MaltMarch because, 'Why do I want to rant about Prohibition when I can drink anytime I want to?' (Which is not true at all but look what a silly law that's gone on and on hopelessly forever can do to the sleeping proletariat and bourgeoisie.)
