This has provided an opportunity to everyone to do some introspection and to take lesson.
Mass demonstration does not mean it is right and just.
One should not take it as victory of people because everyone has got defeated. No one wins when humanity and justice get defeated. Fake arguments can only satisfy ego. Nation stands wounded.
The only consolation is that demonstration was peaceful and decent. That sets example how it should be when people feel the need to come out and protest.
Unfortunately politicians, celebrities and even media wish to be on popular side and defeated humanity in the process. They should have shown the correct path to people, that is what they are supposed to do.
There is a growing fashion of speaking against activists to satisfy selfish means. Do not forget these activists are playing important role in keeping the humanity alive.
Arguments put forward are not valid and stands defeated purely because truth remains truth even when spoken by one and falsehood remains falsehood even when masses go for it.
- This is part of age old culture - Wrong, no culture is above humanity.
- This is not cruel to animals, we do not eat them. They are family. - Wrong, not eating them does not rule out cruelty. There is evidence, video clips clearly show animals in distress and painful conditions. Do not pretend as if they are happy to be part of it. What if someone without your permission hold you and pulls you drags you by your hair. And then call it sport.
- This is a sport - Wrong, do not have fun by giving pain to others. Sport should never be cruel especially to animals who can not speak for them self.
- Why activist are not speaking against other similar sport or slaughter. - Wrong, they are speaking against other similar activities and if some are missed then indeed they should take up those as well. And above all two wrongs do not make them both right.
- Outsiders can not understand our culture, do not mess with our pride - Wrong. Every culture, every religion, every language, every region has same place same respect. No one can take away pride. But no culture is above humanity and justice.
- Ban non veg food and slaughter too. - Wrong argument again. In fact it will be good for humans, animals, environment and entire world if non veg food is given up completely. It only gives diseases and harms world. Will you allow yourself to be cut and eaten by others? Then how can you cut and eat animals? Think before calling yourself human.
When humanity gets defeated, everyone gets defeated.
But this has given lesson to everyone, if ready to learn.
- Judiciary - When dealing with such issues and with large section of people, always call for opinion from all sections of society. They should be well represented and heard well. Ban is not a constructive solution. Instead of ban, it should be seen how it can be evolved and regulated in humanity, constitutional and social point of view making sure that harmful aspects are taken care and responsibility is fixed for future.
- Politicians, Celebrities and Media - Bypassing court is bad tradition. Your job is not to succumb to populism. You must not give wrong solution just to please people. Do not belittle humanity, justice and constitution just to be on popular side. You must lead people to just solution in which people keep their tradition but in accordance with humanity, justice and constitution.
- People - Do not think this is victory. Will you decide everything out of court on streets now? How and with what face you will go to court for justice as you have insulted the temple of justice. For self respect and respect of culture and identity, self introspection and correction is first thing and honoring courts verdict is second. There are always ways where people can change cultural traditions in symbolic manner. There are good examples within nation. Evolution makes a person, culture, nation and humanity great.
Solution
People should have gone to government and court with fresh petition. They should assure government and court with a fixed regulation plan that how they will ensure that there is no cruelty. Event and animals must be filmed to make sure no one breaks the plan. Responsibility at every level must be fixed. Then with this assurance, court must have lifted ban. This would have kept dignity of all - people, animals, government and court.
Set your priorities - Humanity Justice Nation then others. Big talk and fake arguments will not make you or nation great.
