Gadhimai practices have been there for thousands of years, but it is only now the propaganda against it being unleashed.<br /><br />Apart from this, if the persons falling for this propaganda are vegetarians, do not use leather goods, and do not use goods made out of furs, do not use medicines made out of animal products, then and then only can such persons be considered as not being hypocrites.<br /><br />Of course their disregard for religious rights and being fooled by anti-Hindu propaganda still stands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293872509981147958.post-87061284145968121052009-11-26T20:07:40.041-08:002009-11-26T20:07:40.041-08:00Well said, Bishal.Well said, Bishal.Horationoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293872509981147958.post-86048293749043874132009-11-26T19:53:41.313-08:002009-11-26T19:53:41.313-08:00The following is what I have responded to one of o...The following is what I have responded to one of our friends when asked for the response on the Gadhimai religious practice. I stand with the practices of Hindus.<br /><br />Namaskar to all friends!<br /> <br />I agree with Sumir Bhai. What is the difference between turkey and buffalo, both living beings. Vegatables and plants have lives. Every country has its culture and traditions.<br />We Hindus cannot force Islamic or Christian nations to stop slaughtering beef/cow. Their puppet Human Rights Organizations should not ask anything from Hindus while we pracitce our culture and traditions. But we definitely must ban the killings of cows in our nation because cow is considered a sacred by all Hindus.<br /> <br />Bishal Shah,<br />NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
