the anti liquor movement of the 1990 women come to the forefront and it also empowered them justify
Answers
Answer:
In 1990, the women of Dubagunta, a small village in the Nellore district of the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh began an anti-liqour agitation. They pressurized men to swear that they would stop drinking, physically restrained habitual drinkers, attacked liquor shops and godowns and fought with the police, liquor mafia and the drunks. The movement spread like wildfire to 800 villages throughout the state in a short period of time. Women in these 800 villages not only prevented the entry of liquor into their villages, but also prevented district collectors from holding alcohol shop license auctions.
It was reported that the women were beaten with rods, sticks, boots and rifle butts by the liquor contractors' henchmen as well as the police force. Non-bailable cases were filed against agitators who were then imprisoned. There were even reports that many women activists were raped and murdered.
