“In today’s scientific world, it is foolish to consider cow as a Goddess. It is appropriate to provide a financial and scientific basis for cow protection instead of a religious basis. The ‘gau bhaktha’ who portrays that cows and buffalos are Gods should be stopped and tied to a yolk and made to work in the service of the nation.” These were the words of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Sangh Parivar’s father figure. He wrote in ‘Maharashtra Sharadha’ (April 1935), about cows in a way that is a slap in the face of fake cow protectors. In the same article, he has made many more points about cows which are as follows:

“Old roots, new shoots, beautiful tree” – this line composed by a poet is a celebration of the essence of life.  A society that forgets its elders has no future.

A trunk cannot grow by neglecting the roots, and our new generations owe a lot to their elders and have duties and responsibilities towards them.

American society is a such a bundle of contradictions and fake contradictions that if you don’t have an adequate sense of humour, you will definitely collapse”

The Mumbai Police arrested Republic TV Chief Arnab Goswami on Wednesday. Since his arrest, Delhi’s BJP leaders are crying hoarse over infringement of ‘freedom of expression.’

The only ray of hope for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s supporters is the claim that the world is looking at India because of Modi. The moment allegations such as the collapse of India’s economy, increase in unemployment, and reduction in GDP growth rate are levelled, BJP leaders try to push things under the carpet by claiming that ‘even then, the world’s focus is on India.’
