Re: Alcohol in Pakistan: The prohibition and after
India has ‘DRY’ areas where alcohol is banned…in some states, you need a permit to buy and consume alcohol. almost all states have hidden market for booze.
all the chamars/paasees and so called untouchables and the poor heavily rely on bootleg sharaab, Tharra and Toddy!
cow slaughter is banned in almost all states except West Bengal. most places in India have Beef that comes from kaali kalooTii water buffaloes. their bachhRaa = our veal 
neel gaaye is also banned but Muslim hunters do hunt secretly and transport to their homes secretly as weel…then it’s distributed secretly among friends and relatives.
in my village, 2-3 times the gaddis [Muslim tribesmen equivalent of Rajput worriers] used to bring in the cow meat secretly and sell from it from a secret location…the way we used to tell each other in public about the coming of the beef was by saying…“collectors saab aaye haiN jaa k mil leN” …
