Hindus never cut the pigs in...2. <b>@ Dr. Aftab Alam</b> :<br />Hindus never cut the pigs in front of any Muslim to hurt their religious sentiments. The animal sacrifice by Hindus (though I do not support) in front of their deities are very confined in their temple or Mela premises where the intending Hindus are usually assembled. But Muslims do the opposite and spread the communal tension.<br />Moreover, the Cows are the most useful animal in the world and it is the most venerated by the Hindus by their tradition. And Cow Progeny are the pillars of Indian Agriculture and Health. That must be taken into the consideration of these facts.<br />You told a very fishy thing that Muslims will abandon Cow Slaughtering if the others stop animal sacrifice in all types. OK. The most of the world population do not follow Islam. Then please renounce it. <br />Your arguments do not suffice your points to highlight.<br /><br /><b>Sambuddha Ray, M.

Most of these cow slaughtering are conducted in a very ghastly manner openly intimating the Hindus outside the slaughter houses crushing all the laws in force.<br /><br />See Comment 2. also.<br /><br /><b>Sambuddha Ray, M.

But in this regards I would like to bring to notice to The honorable President of India, The honorable Prime Minister of India, The honorable Chief Justice of India, The honorable Chief Minister of Paschimbanga (West Bengal), The honorable Chief Justice, Calcutta High Court, Kolkata, that the animals are not slaughter by Muslims only in India. The Hindus also give slaughtering of Goat in the name of GODS.... I am writing this as now the whole thing is not as the case for the violation of Animal slaughter Control Acts but a religious cause and case. So we Muslims are ready to stop it if all other religions have the same feelings for the animals. The verdict cannot be given on the context that Muslims are minority and they should not do their religious rituals. All religions has right to do as per their religious rituals. <br />I have quoted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sacrifice<br />“Animal sacrifice is the ritual killing of an animal as part of a religion. It is practised by many religions as a means of appeasing a god or gods or changing the course of nature. Animal sacrifice has turned up in almost all cultures, from the Hebrews to the Greeks and Romans, Israelites, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and from the Aztecs.<br />Remnants of ancient rituals of animal sacrifice are apparent in many cultures, for example the Spanish bullfights, or kapparos in Judaism, or ritual slaughter procedures like shechita or ḏabīḥah in Judaism and Islam, respectively. <br />Animal sacrifice was common in Vedic religion, the highest or "royal" such sacrifice being the Ashvamedha. The last known performance of the Ashvamedha was that by Jai Singh II of Amber in 1716.<br />There are Hindu temples in Assam, India as well as Nepal where goats and chickens as well as buffaloes are sacrificed. These sacrifices are mainly done at mandirs following the Shakti school of Hinduism where the female nature of Brahman is worshipped in the form of Kali and Durga. There are many village temples in Tamil Nadu where this kind of sacrifice takes place.[2]<br />In many Shakti shrines of Orissa animals like goat and chicken are sacrificed on Durga Puja in the month of Aswina (September–October) every year. In Sambalpur, this ritual sacrifice is performed in the Samaleswari temple (Pasayat, 2003:67-84).<br />The three methods used by Hindus to kill an animal are: Jhatka (decapitation with a single blow); piercing the heart with a spike; and asphyxiation.<br />Possibly the largest animal sacrifice in the world occurs during Gadhimai festival in Nepal. In the 3 day long sacrifice in 2009 it was speculated that more than 250,000 animals were killed[3] while 5 million devotees attended the festival.[4]<br />In India ritual of animal sacrifice is practised in many villages before local deities. For instance, Kandhen Budhi is the reigning deity of Kantamal in Boudh district of Orissa, India. She is the presiding deity of Kandha people of this area. She is represented in the natural form of stone under a tree on the bank of the river Tel. Every year, animals like goat and fowl are sacrificed before the deity on the occasion of her annual Yatra/Jatra (festival) held in the month of Aswina (September–October). The main attraction of Kandhen Budhi Yatra is Ghusuri Puja. Ghusuri means pig, which is sacrificed once in every three years. Kandhen Budhi is also worshipped at Lather village under Mohangiri GP in Kalahandi district of Orissa, India(Pasayat, 2009:20-24).<br />Bali Jatra of Sonepur in Orissa, India is also an annual festival celebrated in the month of Aswina (September–October) when animal sacrifice is an integral part of the ritual worship of deities namely Samaleswari, Sureswari and Khambeswari. Bali refers to animal sacrifice and hence this annual festival is called Bali Jatra (Barik, 2009:160-162).”<br />ARE THESE NOT THE VIOLATION OF ANIMAL SLAUGHTER CONTROL ACTS OF INDIA? ??????????<br />Dr. Aftab Alam.<br />Mobile: 09830755122Dr. Aftab Alamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241131182053581452noreply@blogger.com
