Abstract

Alcohol work in Namthanlong village, Manipur has been fostering indigenous alcohol industry for several decades that remains a source of income for women workers. Emotional labour employed in this work especially in the vendors adds more woes to the existing vulnerability and exploitation they face in brewing and selling alcohol. As more women began to sell and serve alcohol for customers in their household setup, emotional labour came forth as a significant factor to cater and sustain the operation of alcohol vendors. This article is an attempt to bring out the facet of alcohol work and the role of women from Namthanlong. Primary data collected from the field in Namthanlong village has been used in presenting the realities of women workers in indigenous alcohol industry and the significance of emotional labour. Data was collected by taking interviews of prospective respondents with ethical considerations.
