… do charas. [TOI] (Sidhu via email)
Alliance Francaise is French for cultural promotion through the use of recreational drugs. Ok, I’m kidding, Alliance Francaise in India “assures the coordination of cultural, teaching and administrative activities of all Alliance Françaises in India”. The head of the same decided to take it a step further and partake in some extra-curricular refreshments, i.e. charas. Personally, I could care less and think that prosecution of such recreational drugs reeks of more moral policing but the fact remains that in India by the law of the land, possession is illegal and carries a stiff sentence.
Well, above mentioned individual was nabbed by the pandus while allegedly in possession of this “cultural” drug, arrested, released on bail and has since left the country.
Which brings us to an important cultural lesson, when in India, do as the Indians do, do charas, do ganja, but do not get caught.
