If Mudhol hound from Central Asia is patriot, is German Shepherd a traitor?
Indian prime minister has claimed that Congress should learn patriotism from Mudhol hound which is part of Indian army. PM has not mentioned Rahul's name. But Rahul had gone to JNU then. The truth about the slogans that were supposed to have been shouted as claimed by PM are yet to be unraveled. Who shouted those slogans is still a mystery.
His party tells us at times, that one should learn patriotism from tanks, and some other time, from some other object. Indian army also has horses.PM may as well issue an order that one should learn patriotism from horses. It is not good for a democracy if someone in power ridicules the opposition in this manner.
This is not the first time that PM is resorting to such statements. Globally too there are instances. The future of democracy of a country is at stake is a certainty, if those who are in power ridicule the opposition in this manner. There is a certain pattern of targeting the opposition in this country. Even investigative agencies and IT agencies are being used to sustain this. This too is common in many countries.
Yet, A PM is a PM. He speaks and wins the elections. But the world keeps asking questions about his work. Our PM speaks and wins the elections; hence we should assume that talking is his job.
Now he has spoken about Mudhol Hounds, let’s learn something about these hounds. It is amazing to see how much research our PM undertakes not to speak about his poll promises. Hats off to his team.
So, we looked at Wikipedia. One should be cautious about this Wiki information. Mudhol hounds are also called Caravan dogs. Anyway, it has nothing to do with the magazine, “CARAVAN” that published reports on Justice Loya’s death. I hope even PM had no such intention. According to Wiki, in Deccan every household rears Mudhol hounds. These are used for hunting and guarding.
In 2005 India Post has brought out a Rs. Five postal stamp , which bears the image of this hound. However other Indian hounds like Himalayan Sheep hound, Rampur Hound, Rajapalayam breed too have appeared in the stamps. If someone from Modi’s team were to be in the lazy team of Rahul, he would have googled and declared that Congress Govt had brought this stamp on all these hounds precisely for that reason. But Rahul’s team doesn’t have such a person.
According to Wikipedia, Nobody knows how these central Asian breed reached the Deccan plateau of India. As the PM has spoken about these hounds some organizations may as well link this dog to Babar.
Mudhol hounds are found in Karnataka, AP and Maharashtra. But hounds from Karnataka are more popular. A taluk too bears the same name. The erstwhile Chieftain of Mudhol Raje Saheb Maloji rao Ghorpade was instrumental in popularizing this breed.
This breed was popular among the tribals. Ghorpade had found that tribals use this hound for hunting. These dogs don’t bark.
When he was in England in 1900, he had gifted a pair of Mudhol Hound to King George V. they became famous because of this.
Last year six Mudhol hounds were recruited to Indian army. They were the first Indian breed to be recruited for Indian army and they were trained in Meerut.
How patriotism can be learnt from these hounds is something I don't understand. However, will German Shepherd which is popular with army for a long time, be called a traitor now?

Venur: SDPI files defamation complaint as village ritual video shows participants in Muslim dress
Belthangady: The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has filed a complaint with the Venur Police against a group that recently held a ceremony called ‘Purushara Pooje’ in Perladka near Venur, accusing the participants of insulting Muslims.
While the ceremony shows the group dancing around a mound, video clips where people are seen in costumes typically worn by Muslims, are going viral on social media platforms. The participants include a man wearing a skull cap and a woman in a burqa. The man in skull cap is also seen holding the SDPI flag while dancing.
Social media users have accused the group of showing disrespect towards Muslims by degrading their dress sense. The users have also called it an intentional act by the participants.
The representative of the SDPI has further told the police that the sentiments of the party members have been hurt as the party flag was degraded during the ritual.
The SDPI said that ‘Purusharapooje’ was a convention that was regularly carried out in Perladka of Venur, but the ritual was now being misused as a means to degrade Muslims. The participants were made to don dresses like Muslim men, women and also Maulvis during the ceremony. In addition, the flag of the SDPI was used by one of the participants, which was an insult of the party, the complainant has told the police.
The party has also demanded that the authorities arrest the guilty parties and take legal action on them.
