Regulating Your 'Spirit': Alcohol and Intoxicants
What brought Gandhians and Muslims together in the Constituent Assembly? Prohibition! Really, why does our otherwise liberal Constitution have a provision on prohibition? And on what grounds can the state regulate the private consumption of alcohol? This episode of The Longest Constitution takes a look at the state’s regulation of the trade, sale, and consumption of Liquor and Bhaang. We also look at the colonial roots of such regulations and round it up with a look at a case of sexual harassment at the workplace.
