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 Today, alcohol prohibition in Gujarat is an outdated, corruption and crime breeding, short sighted law which must be systematically removed.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.Six dacades after independence, Gujarat state Laws still bans liqour in the state.
Apart from being illogical and out of sync with norms nationwide and also worldwide, this prohibition impedes the right to choose. I personally think that in india, laws of democracy have no place for such absurd legislation.
