Answers:
Dry day, family day

Dry days ensure that people stay away from alcohol at least on that day. While I wish for more dry days, my husband is always fretting on these days. The best thing about dry days is that the kids and I get to spend some time with him. On other days, he is always with friends.
Why shouldn’t people be allowed to choose when they want to drink? The concept doesn’t make sense. Am I going to respect my country any lesser if I drink on Republic Day?
Hubby is sober on dry days
Dry days should be observed at least twice a week. I support the concept because on these days my husband returns sober; on most other days, he is inebriated. People swig double the usual quantity after a dry day. This is much like fasting. If you fast for a day, you're ravenous the next day.
It’s not too difficult to beat dry days. People stock up in advance or manage to find booze somehow. The idea is good, no doubt, but implementation should be better.
Have surprise dry days
The gesture of observing dry days on Independence Day,
Republic Day, etc. is good, but do drinkers follow it? Come dry day and my husband stocks up liquor, defeating the purpose of a dry day. It will be better to have surprise dry days so that people can’t stock booze.

there is no way to ban drinking habit, which at another place would lead to black-dealing. To stop or discourage, the best way to announce its disadvantages and permit all to drink. On such occasion, encourage to know what happens if liquor is banned, one day of the week is declared as 'dry day'. This is applicable to all the cities only (rural area is not affected).

I think gov. of India don't want any accidents or riots within people of different religions on national holiday. Also they want to show their honor towards those great patriot persons. On these days they want silence everywhere.

This provision was introduced in 1953 ! The provision actually is not at all clear. On some dry days you can sell liquor to Foreigners if they produce their passport.

Ths rule only makes bootleggers happy.
