We are quickly loosing our character, truth, morals, respect, honesty, integrity, justice-social, economic and political and bringing in instead indiscipline, hatred, terrorism, disloyalty, destruction, corruption, disintegration of our country, while wanting to displace religion from the heart of masses which is the backbone of this composite culture that unites all religions to co-exist.
Every proposal involving destruction of our precious cattle wealth including dry and week animals and other creatures leads to ecological inbalance, loss of cheap energy, excellent organic manure and harmless pesticide of urine etc. must be resisted tooth and nail in our self interest for survival. Non-violence is the supreme religion and interdependence a command - Please listen to this cry!!!
We are in the year 1995 which coincides with 125th Birth Anniversary of Father of our Nation-Mahatma Gandhi and 101th Birth Anniversay of Sri Vinobha Bhave-the Father of Bhoodan Maovement, both of whom preached and practised Ahimsa and vegetarianism.
What better opportunity can there be for our nation to celebrate their anniversary by the government declaring as a special promotional year of Health, Hygiene, Ecology, Environment. Animal Welfare and Vegetarianism. These are all very important causes being helpful to humans as well as all creatures.
