What was Anti-arrack movement? |
|
Answer» The Anti-arrack movement was led by the rural women in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh to protect against alcoholism, alcohol mafia and government policies. This movement originated from the ‘adult literacy drive’, where a common issue that was raised was the consumption of locally brewed alcohol arrack by men in their families and its effects on rural economy. A local initiative was taken up by the women in Nellore to protect against arrack and demanded a closure of local liquor shops. |
