Formulation of Mathematical Mode! of Picketing of Liquor Shops and Warehouses

Abstract

Before getting independence of INDIA from British regime, large number of Leaders of India was required to take strong agitation against British Government for getting freedom. One of the prominent leaders was Mr. M. K. Gandhi. During the period 1920 to 1942 in Central Provinces and Berar specifically pertaining to the period June 1930 to September 1930 [1], strong agitations took place towards reducing income to Government by way of reducing liquor consumption. Several events took place towards this objective. Based on the facts, the attempt is made in this paper to present the entire agitation as one social phenomena in the form of a Mathematical Model co-relating the fall in liquor revenue in terms of various causes responsible for this fall in revenue. It is only through the Mathematical Model that it is possible to get quantitative idea of intensity of interaction of causes on effects of any phenomena may be it be scientific or socio-economic or of any other type. Particularly the approach of Field Data Based Model [2] is applicable in such a situation as this is a Field Phenomena. Such models serve as most reliable tools to plan future such activities. This could be known as a process of PROGNOSIS.
