There was a short NPR report this morning about him ending his fast that only talked about all his anti-corruption stuff. Nothing about flogging alcoholics...

"There is a telegraph pole in front of the temple and anyone who was drinking or drunk or making alcohol or stealing was tied to it and beaten," said Jay Singh Bhabuje Mapari, a 39-year-old from the village who travelled with Hazare to Delhi last week. "I remember watching when I was a kid. It was frightening."

Bumping for Indian politics geeks! OK, I don't know much about it either. But it stills seems sorta important.

I don't know if drinkers and smokers are an ethnic group, per se.
