Explain the origin of the women’s movement against arrack consumption.

The women's movement against arrack consumption has its roots in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Andhra Pradesh, India. At that time, the state was facing a growing problem with alcohol abuse, particularly the cheap, locally brewed liquor known as arrack. This problem was particularly severe in rural areas where women were the most affected by their husbands' alcohol abuse. Women from these communities started to organize themselves to protest against the sale and consumption of arrack.

The movement was sparked by the efforts of Dr. Karam Singh and his wife Shanta Singh who, in 1978, started the Andhra Pradesh Mahila Samakhya (APMS) program. The program aimed to empower women from rural communities and raise awareness about the negative effects of alcohol abuse on families and communities.
