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 Today, alcohol prohibition in Gujarat is an outdated, corruption and crime breeding, short sighted law which must be systematically removed.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.it's been nice to read about the movement towards a wet state in the media & the net. this path is tread only by the educated urban elite. i think to thrash this archaic law on a harder, faster scale we need to take this case up with the judiciary
