Title - Islam and Animal Welfare |
 |
Muzaffer Hussain is a Padmashri, an eminent Muslim lawyer, a writer of books like Muslim Manas, Insight in Minoritism and 12 others. He has won 13 National Awards. His latest book is Islam and Shakahar ( vegetarianism ) which he has sent me.
Chapter 3 is entitled , the Cow and the Koran. This is the one that interests me the most because all through Rampur , Bareilly, Aonla and Badaun , my constituency and district , cows and bullocks are being killed with a frenzy .They are taken openly in trucks or walked to a slaughterhouses in Bareilly and one in Sahaswan, Badaun. Thousands are killed every day in the most brutal conditions. I have caught many trucks during my election and everyone in my constituency has been told that this will no longer be tolerated. The police of Faridpur get a weekly bribe from the butchers and a large number of policemen spread across Aonla, Aliganj. The centre of the killing is a village called Bhagvantapur in Faridpur but no policeman dares enter it because the last one who did so was beaten and hospitalized.

Title - Animal Sacrifice at the Gadimai Mela |
| |
he word soul comes from the Latin Anima. The word animal comes from anima too. Animals carry the soul of the earth in them. They represent Nature and Nature is no loving goddess who forgives transgressions. She is Kali, the unforgiving. You kill , she punishes. She does not do any trades and she demands no innocents as sacrifice.
If we could all understand that , so many things would fall into place. As a friend and neighbour of Nepal , as one who knows and respects her people , I feel I have the right to write this article to beg all of you to abandon the killing of animals at the Gadimai festival later this month.
The Gadimai Mela takes place every five years in Bariyarpur, Bara district and is scheduled for November 24. The word fair should mean something of joy. Something you take your children to. An occasion where you show your family and world love and get love in return. |
