The Prohibition Movement in India emerged as a part of broader social reform and non-violent resistance traditions that gained strength under and after Mahatma Gandhi. It was shaped by the moral, cultural, and economic context of Indian society, where the consumption of alcohol was often seen as a source of social degeneration, family breakdown, poverty, and moral corruption. Gandhi himself strongly opposed alcohol, regarding it as a social evil and a barrier to self-control and discipline. His emphasis on temperance as an integral component of swaraj influenced many post-independence governments, reformers, and activists to continue the movement in various forms. The Prohibition Movement thus took shape both as a moral crusade and a state policy in India, reflecting the aspirations of those who wanted to create a disciplined, non-violent, and morally upright society. The movement had its ideological basis in Gandhian philosophy. Gandhi viewed liquor consumption as destructive not only to the individual but also to the family and community. He argued that alcohol weakened character, drained financial resources of the poor, and led to domestic violence and neglect of responsibilities. Therefore, he regarded prohibition as essential to building a moral and self-sufficient nation. This belief resonated with several reformist groups, religious leaders, and women’s organizations, who saw prohibition as a means of social upliftment.
