Nobody can become dictator in India. Indira Gandhi had moved towards this direction but she had to become democratic. Army support is necessary to become a dictator and that is not possible in this country.

Between Liquor & opium which injures more ?
The hype against opium and its derivatives without a word against the harmful effects of liquor on the youth, whether in Punjab or elsewhere in the country is immoral crass commercialism. For the West, it is part of their economic policy in Asia to kill the indigenous trades and promote their own e.g. Coke/Pepsi/Liquor. Is opium really more injurious to health than liquor? The trade starts from Gazipur/ Bareilly and travels down to Indore, Mandsaur, Ratlam, Mumbai and international destinations under the protective supervision of the "peoples' representatives". Free this trade for a few years and see how many go bankrupt. Pakistan will stop its terror war in border states like Punjab & Kashmir if opium is made freely available for a few years on the borders. The Punjab Zamindars (there is a law in existence there) feed their farm labour to get maximum work at minimum wages. But opium has its good attributes too. Perhaps no Kalidas would have been born to India had there been no opium !
