Following "Kiss of Love" and "Support Porn", there will be "Drinking is my birthright" slogan soon, if government abolishes liquor from the state, because drinking is a way to maintain a social status and more of a habit to students today.
Everything is right about protests supporting liquor ban in Tamil Nadu. But what people forget again and again is that government is not an alien body (which came from cosmos), but it is the people. There is no meaning in taking violence as a weapon against the government, because it is like a suicide.
Attacking government attacks the common people. I do not know why all these parties were so silent in the past. Many politicians protesting are also great drinkers.
One great help these protesters can do is to inspire people around them to avoid drinking.They are instead breaking the liquor shops. The problem is not somewhere else, it is not with the shops. It is with the people around us.
Students always suffer whenever there is such an issue. One group fight for abolishing liquor shops in the state and go to jail. If it becomes a success, other group will fight against the ban, because it is affecting their right to freedom of drinking.
One thing the parties have learnt so well from the Great Britain is "divide and rule policy". Only till we all are fighting can politicians make their stand and pretend to be helping us and making us believe we cannot live in peace without these politicians.
