Introduction
have great pleasure in offering this small booklet, which I hope will help in furthering the cause of Ahimsa and Vegetarianism. Amongst all the nations of the world, 'The Indian Nation' is known for its tolerance and compassion for all living beings. The greatness of Nation is not measured by its wealth or strength. but by its compassion towards the weak and defenceless. Unfortunately, in recent years Meat eating and the general exploitation of defenceless animals is known to be increasing in India. In contrast, in the west the trend is towards Vegetarianism and a general awareness of the rights of animals. I urge you all to check this growth of Meat-eating in India and help, lead the world into a New Era in which mankind will no longer harm the poor defenceless creatures of God. There is an English Proverb, "Taking the coal back to Newcastle". Similarly we are bringing back the ideal of Ahimsa to the Home of Ahimsa - India. Please accept our humble request Promote Vegetarianism, Ahimsa and Compassion in India and set an example for the rest of the world to follow.
