This may be the smartest move ever made by Gujaratis: A group of non-hypocritical, forward-thinking people in Gujarat has teamed up with Facebook to fight the booze ban in Gujarat.
Gujarat is the birthplace of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a vegetarian teetotaler. Gandhi is known as ‘Father Of The Nation’, and fuck knows why. Since he didn’t know how to enjoy a tipple, the state he was born in has been made to suffer.
The whole nation knows that bootleggers make a killing by selling booze in Gujarat, and that the people of Gujarat love a drink or five as much as the rest of us. Some of these people have decided to rise above the hypocrisy of the situation, and I applaud this move.
Not only will the legal sale of alcohol make things better (Marijuana is banned in India. Has it stopped any of us from smoking charas-ganja?), but it’s a big step in setting an example – raising a voice against something so illogical is teaching kids not to grow up bullshitting themselves.
And hopefully, Gujarat will get a few beers actually worth drinking.
Way to go, India!
