Every household in a village in India has been fined by the district magistrate for violating a new alcohol ban.
All 50 households in Kailashpuri in Bihar state have been ordered to pay 5,000 rupees (£58) as a collective fine following the recovery of liquor bottles in the village.
It is believed to be the first case of collective punishment since a strict alcohol prohibition law came into force in the North Indian state in April.
In the event that someone dies drinking hooch, the manufacturers, suppliers and sellers can be sentenced to death under the legislation.
But the most controversial provision is the one that makes every family member, including children, responsible for the consumption and possession of alcohol in a house.
It presumes that all of them must be aware of the offence, until proven otherwise.
In some cases, drinking at home can carry a sentence of 10 years to life in prison.

What if they collectively refuse to pay?
It takes a village, literally, to pay the fine.
Hah...my thought too. It takes a village mentality crap.
Send THE WARRIOR Iffan Khan after them! He know what to do with a rebellious village!

Now that's the way a real war on drugs alcohol is fought! /s
It’s a village with 50 households. Sharia anyone?
do they have elections?
Dr. Peter Venkman: “This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.”
Mayor: “What do you mean, “biblical”?”
Dr Ray Stantz: “What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.”
Dr Ray Stantz: “Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!”
Dr. Egon Spengler: “Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...”
Winston Zeddemore: “The dead rising from the grave!”
Dr. Peter Venkman: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!”
Mayor: “All because we got drunk and had an orgy?”
Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr Ray Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore (in unison): “YES!!!”
I don’t think Hindus are supposed to drink alcohol either; a couple would come into a bar in my town (a few blocks from a Hindu temple) and they would specifically ask the bartender not to tell other Indians that they visited. The bartender and customers didn’t know any other Indians anyway so it was a moot point, but they were concerned about being discovered...
“Now that’s the way a real war on drugs alcohol is fought! /s”
Even better...the following might be considered “Hillary’s Hopes & Dreams”. Substitute “shooting a gun” for “drinking hooch”:
“In the event that someone dies drinking hooch, the manufacturers, suppliers and sellers can be sentenced to death under the legislation. “
Oh, right! One guy gets caught with the stuff and ‘’bam!’’, everybodys gotta’ pay!’’ Ain’t Islam a bitch?
“Ain’t Islam a bitch?”
Likely not Islamic related at all. The poor still want to get hammered, so alcohol is a necessity. But it ain’t cheap. You should see how they make “alcohol” over there... contaminated local alcohol causes hundreds to die at a time. So, the authorities want to ban alcohol. Trust me, they ain’t banning Jonnie Walker or the Macallan. Trust me on that.
It is ironic that ancient hindus LOVED getting hammered. Half of RigVeda is about the Soma drink. They fought wars over that. Must have been a good drink. Later, drinking was associated with the lower castes.
That’s funny; I don’t know enough of them to understand the differing views.
