give them wine…

Title in English - give them wine if they don't get water
Title in Marathi - हे मद्यराष्ट्र व्हावे
Painting is based on the 2009 policy of the state of Maharashtra, India
of granting licenses to wineries. Almost all of these are promoted by local or
national level politicians or their close relatives. Wine will be produced from
staple grain.
36% of the children in the state are already malnourished. There is a
perennial water shortage forecast to increase over coming years. Small
land-holders have been committing suicides over years. Besides the health and
family-break up issues arising out of alcoholism this policy will only help
pauperisation and addiction as the wine produced is supposed to be for sale in
Maharashtra only.
A number of socially conscious personalities have protested strongly against this crass commercialisation of the state. The map is of the state of Maharashtra.
