Muslim Kashmir consuming more liquor than Hindu Jammu

[Cheetah786]

IAm sure not all Indian states tax liquor the same.higher sales to kashmir could also means people from different part of India using Kashmir license to acquire liquor at lower taxes.before the truck leaves the manufacturing plant or warehouse excise taxes and state taxes are applied and paid.Kashmir being the only majority Muslim state is more then likely not taxing liquor as other states.
This kinds of deals happens in Pakistan and most other Asian countries any thing to make more buck and save on taxes.this clearly shows why the sales are higher on Muslim sides and not on Hindu side of the state.as Hindus will want part of the profits while Muslim are happy with what ever they made on the sale of there name to acquire the license.(Muslim is looking at it this way that he or she sold the name for the license and not profiting from the alcohol)

And by explaining this with a business point of view no way iam saying the Muslims drink or not it isn't my place to question others action.

I posted this when I found this article amusing that to from Dailytimes.

btw Milatry has separate quota for liquor.

well i dont wana go into details of anomalies by India army regarding liquor quota

as far the dailytimes well this newspaper pick up news stories from Indian Newspaper and same is the case with otherside. intrestingly these two media sides pick only those things that are either against Pakistan or Muslims


anyway i dont see anything amuzing in the news its just that you wanted to tell the world that look Muslims are consuming Liqour in Kashmir.
Which i think nothing new many Muslims arround the world do drink.

Isnt it that the license for sale of the same were allowed and issued in one part to promote the consumtion of liquor deleberatly while the same was restricted in Jammu after BJP and other protested.

Any proof or your usual off the cuff punching the air?

and Dont post conspiracies also

Who knows if all the liquor is consumed by Muslims are 90,000 Indian soldiers stationed in Indian Held Kashmir

Do you think we are all Yahyah Khans?

Or, for that matter the leader of the lawyers against Musharrraf, who has this liver problem?

Or are we the Saudi Princes?

I think we must realize that Kashmiris have lived in Kashmir since time immemorial, and they were probably surviving without liquor all this time, especially from the time they converted to Islam.
(perhaps during hindu/buddhist times, they did drink alcohol?)
(I don't really know if Sufism allows alcohol consumption...can someone enlighten?)

If Kashmiris are indeed drinking more, it indicates that they are moving away orthodox Islam, which when seen along with anecdotal evidence that Kashmiris are turning more "kattar", can be interpreted as a diversification of kashmiri society.

This can be compared to cities like mumbai,for example, where massive sales of both religious and pornographic videos indicate a highly diversified society.

Inter state liquor transfer is not allowed.

One will be jailed.

I really am surprised that one feels that Moslems don't drink.

The Moghul Emperors did. Omar Khayyan did. Ghalib did.

How do you think such beautiful ghazals were written?

It is one thing to show publicly that Moslems follow the rules strictly, and it is another thing what is happening.

The Murree Brewery would have closed down. Or am I to understand the Pakistani minority are alcoholic to the extent that they all have cirrhosis of the liver?

Please let reality be accepted and not the ideal as the real thing!
