Anna Hazare has suggested that no body should be allowed to drink. The youth should be advised not to drink. If they do not accept the advice, they should be tied and flogged.

Many politicians have criticized this. However, anna had successfully abolished drunkenness in his village this way. Now he wants to extend his experiment to rest of India.

I wonder why anna is particular about youth only. The aged also drink. Why they should not be reformed similarly. Moreover if alcoholic drinks are allowed, how can people be asked not to drink. manufactured and sold/ served, how can drinking be abolished.

Alternatively, there can be a limit to number of drinks. Anybody taking more than the limit will be liable to flogging. This will need volunteers for caning the drunkards at wine bars/ shops. May be anna team could recruit volunteers for this. May be, some will like to drink more even by accepting flogging.

India is a democratic country and everyone has a right to drink also. But drunkenness differs. This may be crime. In some states, there is prohibition also. Anna wants prohibition in all places. He can express his views.

In fact, at many places, people especially women are already doing what anna suggested. In Agra also, Dalit women forced authorities to close liqueur shops in their locality and also thrashed the drunkard men with sticks. The poor families suffer as the menfolk spend all money on drinking instead of family expenses. So, anna has a point.

But instead of telling government to make law, he should suggest women to check their husbands and sons, if necessary by beating. There can be a mass campaign against drunkenness and drunkards boycotted. But there should be a distinction between normal moderate and occasional drink and drunkenness.

yes ofcourse if one drinker is beaten by community all will learn a lesson from it.
This news is bit strange. Idea of Annaji is good and better for us. On the other hand, this will lead to voilence. Gandhigiri does not include flogging. This is an act of a politician. Moreover, we don't have any right to beat someone ruthlessly. This is against law.
Instead of bitting there should be some penalty to avoid violence in the cities.

drunkenness and drinking moderately ..how can you differ these things....moderate drinking for one guy may become drunkenness for the other...the line of discretion is too narrow...

this act by anna is just like indulging in someones privacy..unless he do not do anything wrong a man has the right to drink..

It should be realized now that anna or his team have no regard for constitution or rule of law. These are whimsical and talibani type elements.The sooner this is realized, better for all.

Lalu Yadav has also adversely commented on Anna's prescription for drunkards.

correct...gulshanji... many articles i read imbibe that Anna is trying to take the issue of lokpal bill away from the public minds. and more over he seems to be getting less public exposure these days....

i really supported him for the lokpal..supported like hell.....but i am not with him about this new revelation.
Many before Anna ranted and raved on this issue to realize later that moral issues are left best to individuals to decide!
