Explanation:

Anti Arrack movement-  It was a spontaneous mobilisation of women demanding a ban on the sale of alcohol in their neighbourhoods. Stories of this kind appeared in the Telugu press almost daily during the two months of September and October 1992. Women took out a procession in Hyderabad in 1992, protesting against the selling of arrack. It was in a village in the interior of Dubagunta in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, women had started the Anti-Arrack movement. The slogan of the anti-arrack movement was simple — prohibition on the sale of arrack. But this simple demand touched upon larger social, economic and political issues of the region that affected women’s life. A close nexus between crime and politics was established around the business of arrack. The State government collected huge revenues by way of taxes imposed on the sale of arrack and was therefore not willing to impose a ban. Groups of local women tried to address these complex issues in their agitation against arrack. They also openly discussed the issue of domestic violence. Their movement, for the first time, provided a platform to discuss private issues of domestic violence. Thus, the anti-arrack movement also became part of the women’s movement.

With the coming of policies of economic liberalisation in and around the mid-eighties, the fishermen's organisations were compelled to come together on a national level platform of the NFF or National Fishworkers’ Forum. Fish workers from Kerala took the main responsibility of mobilising fellow workers, including women workers from other States. Work of the NFF consolidated when in 1991 it fought its first legal battle with the Union government successfully

In January 1988, around twenty thousand farmers had gathered in the city of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. They were protesting against the government decision to increase electricity rates. The farmers camped for about three weeks outside the district collector’s office until their demands were fulfilled. It was a very disciplined agitation of the farmers and all those days they received regular food supply from the nearby villages. The Meerut agitation was seen as a great show of rural power of farmers cultivators. These agitating farmers were members of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), an organisation of farmers from western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana regions.

Narmada Bachao Andolan- It was a movement to save Narmada and opposed the construction of large dams and questioned the very nature of development. An ambitious developmental project was launched in the Narmada Valley of central India in the early eighties. The project consisted of 30 big dams, 135 medium-sized and around 3,000 small dams to be constructed on the Narmada and its tributaries that flow across three states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Sardar Sarovar Project in Gujarat and the Narmada Sagar Project in Madhya Pradesh were two of the most important and biggest, multi-purpose dams planned under the project. Narmada Bachao Aandolan, a movement to save Narmada opposed the construction of these dams and questioned the nature of ongoing developmental projects in the country.
