Before you proceed to read this post, just imagine what if all Indian men are replaced by Western men? Have this question in your mind and continue reading the post.
1) Ban of Cock Fight
Country chicken refers to the breeds of chickens native to India that are raised for eggs and meat. Different parts of the country have different breed types bred by local farmers on a small scale basis. The life of a country chicken is a charming one. Most of them spend a majority of their time in the great outdoors, running around and scratching the dirt for worms or insects then supplementing their diet with household scraps.They are butchered when they reach age of maturity, which is approximately 200 days (6.5 months) and sell for ~ Rs 180 - 200/kg
Broiler chicken refers to the breeds of chicken that are bred and raised exclusively for their meat in specially constructed holdings that ensure temperature and feed control. Generally they tend to be some kind of a Cornish hen or other commercial variety.The broiler chickens spend their whole lives in their coops with hundreds or thousands of chickens and are fed a diet of corn feed and nutritional supplements.They are butchered at 45 days and sell for ~ Rs 55-70/kg.
And then a famous western organization with their own hybrid chicken conquered the Indian Market. It's okay to have tastier food but not at the cost of losing our identity and risking our health.
2) Country dogs abandoned by us
We can absolutely choose to do this, there is no law forcing us to adopt Indian breed. But just imagine how would we feel if we're treated like a refugee in our own country ? That's how we treat our own dogs now. A real animal lover will have love for all animals, not just for dogs, not just for foreign breeds. If a rich man who spends 10% of his income for a dog per month is considered to be a animal lover, then what would you call a farmer who spends more than 50% of his income for his bull?
Our Dogs eat and survive with our own food. Western Dogs needed special food. And guess who supplies that food? It's again a western organization which clearly increased the hybrid breeds in India and conquered the market.
3) Native drinks replaced by Western drinks
Our native drinks like Coconut water, Fresh juices of different fruits, Sugarcane juice, has enough nutrients and each one has its own benefit medical benefits be it curing dehydration or reducing the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
What did western drinks(sugar with some chemicals) do? Well, they increased the chances of obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, and heart disease. And who supplies branded and patented medicine for those diseases? Yes, again a western organization !
4)Banana leaves replaced by plastic wraps
Eating on banana leaves is a custom that dates back thousands of years, however its benefits are still relevant today. Banana leaves are packed with plant-based compounds called polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, which is also found in green tea. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that battle free radicals and prevent diseases. While banana leaves are not easy to digest if eaten directly, the food absorbs the polyphenols from the leaves, so that you get the benefit of the nutrition.t is also believed that the leaf has anti-bacterial properties that kill all the germs in the food, thereby reducing the chances of you falling sick.
When hot food is served on Plastic plates or plastic wraps, it can cause toxic chemicals to leach out of plastic which can cause problems connected to cancers, fertility and fetal development
5) Ban of sports involving Bull
Indians grow bulls mainly to be used in bull sports or for farming. Tractors have already replaced bulls in farming. Trucks have replaced bullock carts. But that's okay, acceptable as it saves time and it is a step towards innovation and technology. So far, so good. When it comes to breeding, there are significant health issues if Indian breeds will be replaced by artificially inseminated western breeds. This is the main motto of western organizations which has patents for artificial insemination.
Are animals harmed during the sport?
Jallikattu was imposed many rules after being questioned about animal cruelty,
- Temple bulls, usually considered the head of all cattle in a village, are readied for the sport. Temple bulls from different villages are brought to a common arena where the Jallikattu happens.
- The bulls are then freed into a ground, one by one. Participants are to embrace the bull's hump, and try to tame it by bringing the raging bull to a stop, possibly by riding for as long as possible holding its hump.
- The bulls that could be tamed are considered weaker, and are used for domestic purposes by the farmers and the winning ones -- considered the strongest and most virile -- are used for breeding the cows in many villages.
- A medical officer will be present to check if the bull is healthy and will ensure that no form of alcohol or drug is given either to bulls or to participants.
Similar rules can be applied for all our traditional and cultural sports as well. After all, how will a farmer who takes care of the bull for a entire year like his own child let it get harmed for a single day ?
So Why not a farmer continue to grow his bull even after the ban?
They simply just can't. They lost their culture and tradition which was their only motive for growing bulls. They cannot generate any revenue out of a bull. Farmers are not rich enough to adopt bulls and most of the rich people do not think of preserving native breeds and adopting them.
Why are male breeds being targeted?
If male breed extincts, it's end of our native breed. It won't take much time for the cows to get into extinct. And then western organizations start their business here by artificial insemination which is the only way if male breed extincts.
How can we stand against it ?
We risk our health, we lose our culture and tradition, we make way for western people to make money out of us. If we let western breeds, we won't find Aavin Milk or any local milk brand anymore. Just how foreign drinks replaced our native drinks. Just how they created both disease and medicine themselves. Just how they created both virus and antivirus software themselves.
If we do not stand against it now, we will lose identity in our own country and live as refugees. It's not a problem of a bull, it's about our nation and its about our economy. Wake up India!
- Adopt Native breed animals of our choice.
- Educate every one about this.
- Donate a farmer in your locality.
- Join the protest to lift the ban.
