Mahatma Gandhi - Liquor addiction is a curse to the nation's economic growth

Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi identified the difficulties faced by wives of alcohol/liquor addicts in maintenance of family necessities and upbringing their children. And indecent behaviour of drunkards with their spouses and women in their families. Children are deprived from their education, provision of nutritious food, healthy environment, their psychology and character of children are also disturbed that is the alcohol addictions is destroying National future itself, because the children are the future of Nation. But, because of misbehaviour of drunkard family member and continuous quarrels within the family forced the children to become child labour. This problem is persistent even in 21st century. If the humanity doesn't realize this evil of liquor drinking habit the future of the mankind ends up in melancholy. The money earning by State Governments from taxation on or liquor sales is heinous and crime destroying peace and prosperity of many families. The deprivation to the State Governments of the alcohol revenue is of the least importance in the prohibition campaign. The country is simply impatient of the evil itself. In no country in the World will it be possible to carry on this illegal business in the face of the united and the enlightened opposition of a people, such as is now to be witnessed in the economy of India.
