Shame on Tamilnadu govt for banning Kallu and destroying the indigenous tree

Banning toddy is encouraging western liquor.. Western liquor is today the issue of TN..

What is the reason for the ban on toddy, isn't Toddy wine a fermented alcohol like very other alcohol? Although I'm not from the state but i think there must've been some distilleries that would've lobbied for something like this. Instead of banning Toddy altogether government should've made toddy wine business into a regulated market where people could buy whatever they want from an authorized store, which would've eliminated the adulteration and cases of spurious wine being manufactured. A legitimate business idea and a legit tax collection avenue for the state. And don't even get me started on the policing issues. Awesome video as always but couldn't help but notice the video artefacting due to low quality footage used; try using black bars instead of putting it in the full frame, it looks better imo

The ruling parties of Tamilnadu own all the foreign liquor distilleries. This is only a part of the larger control over the industry by a few big players.

Thanks for such an amazing videos. I still use karupatti instead of sugar quite expensive but the smell and taste can not be matched.

சென்ற தலைமுறை வரை இந்த தொழில் தான் செய்தோம். இப்போது தொழிலை மாற்றி விட்டோம். ஒருகாலத்தில் 50 பனையேறிகள் இருந்தனர் என் கிராமத்தில். இன்று ஐந்து பனையேறிகள் கூட கிடையாது என் கிராமத்தில்.

If they open up toddy then all owners of distilleries in the ruling party would face loss of business.

It's time for the farming community to voice its concern against the toddy tapping ban. If nothing works, then stop voting or exercising franchise until the ban is revoked since voting has only prolonged this agony in Tamil Nadu so far. Hope good sense prevails.
