HOW CAN A COW BE OUR MOTHER!
1. Cow is
a mother of human as per the Hindu religious dogmas and hence cannot be
eaten….the modern science many a times describes the same a foolish faith, not
supported by the scientific values.
2. So
the conflict is intense. Faith or science? Which is to be followed?
3. The
fact it seems that neither understands the whole of the facts, but divided
across their own sides of the coin…Some facts need to be put down in a crux as
below:
4. The
only food making is done in this world on the green leaves in the process of
photosynthesis. The green vegetation is the only kitchen which creates food.
All other kitchens are the manipulators of the food so created. Then we are
totally dependent upon the green leaves for our food production. It all depends
upon the fertility of the earth, how much the green leaves can produce. The
fertility of the earth is counted in terms of the microbes available in it, not
the chemical available in it. Even when the chemicals are available in
the earth the plants are not healthy, but vulnerable to pest attacks, just
because the microbes are not available in it, putting the chemicals in such
earth like in the deserts are not going to bring any results, even when water
is provided, if microbes are not available. It will be unhealthy and
vulnerable to pests.
5. The
Indian breed of cow dung including their urines are the highest
concentration of such microbes,. The farmers in India could cultivate the farms
for more than 7000 years on the same land, without losing its fertility is only
because of the cow dung they could use for rejuvenating the microbes
in the earth and keeping it ever fertile. But in the contrast, wherever the
chemicals are used, the fertility will be reduced within a period of 50 to 75
years of use, leading it to become deserts. The present Arabian countries were
thick forest where the first civilisation erupted, first city of ‘Ur’ was built
up, all turned out to be a desert just because of the said destructive farming.
Actually those deserts as we see today was known as fertile cresent between
Tigris and Euphrates rivers. But Indian Farmers and its people could
preserve the fertility of its earth due to the support it got from the local
breed of cows and its cow dung, containing billions of microbes
in each ounce of it.
6. It
provided the food for the sustenance of our lives for thousands of years and
hence our civilisation sustained. Now tell me, cow is our mother of
civilisation or not? Is it science or faith? The scientific principle could not
be understood by all the given villagers. Hence the faith replaced it and the
great brains created myths to propagate such practice of protecting the cows.
Hence are the practice of worshiping the elephant, rat, snake, monkey and so
on…. The creation of village sacred groves are the creation and
sustenance of village biodiversity in its pristine form to support its farm
land, its fertility, its fresh water availability and oxygen and green house
balances. Each village was responsible to maintain it for an everlasting
systematic sustenance, all preached from generations to generations in the form
of religious dogmas and stories, which is very easy for even the illiterates to
understand and propagate down the generations. The grandmas teach their grand
children in the form of storytelling, which is understood by the new generation
while they grow up under the love and care of their grandparents.
If all these biodiversity is lost, human cannot sustain on this
tiny planet. We can migrate to moon and sustain there are all the fooling
around of the modern hooligans in the name of science. Let them go and show us
how it is possible to sustain in the deserts?! Then we will think of going to
moon. If all the honey bees and butterflies are lost that is the end of our
lives here. Think of climbing each tree or chasing each plants and causing fertilising of each flower by human to create
our food. The food does not form in factories. It needs to be created as a
result of fertility and life. Hence the need of Cowand Sacred groves.
7. The invaders
of India wanted to destroy such a formidable foundation of our farmers, and
hence introduced the hybrid verities of cows in India, which do not
have any microbial existence in their cow dung. Even law was passed by
most of the states declaring the sexual intercourse between the Indian breed
Bull and Cow as criminal activity! The owner of the Bull can be
punished for that! Those laws are still prevalent in most of our states.
Castration was made compulsory. It was all done by the cabal and opaque
influence of the hooligans, in the name of modernity, industry and development
creating and gathering huge profits out of the pocket of farmers.
[ for
Eg:, Section 9 of THE KARNATAKA LIVE-STOCK IMPROVEMENT ACT, 1961 reads as
follows:. “Power to order castration of bulls.—(1) The Licensing Officer may,
by notice served in the prescribed manner, require any person keeping a bull
which has attained the prescribed age and in respect of which no licence is for
the time being in force under this Act, to have it effectively castrated within
thirty days from the date of service of the notice, by a method and in a manner
approved by the Director and specified in the order. (2) Such castration shall
be performed or caused to be performed by the Licensing Officer free of charge,
unless the owner or other person keeping the bull desires to make his own
arrangements for complying with the notice.”
Section
13: 13. “Power of Licensing Officer to castrate bulls.—(1) If a
person who keeps a bull fails to have it castrated when required to do so under
section 9, the Licensing Officer may direct that the bull shall be castrated by
a method and in a manner approved by the Director and marked with a prescribed
mark in the prescribed manner, free of charge. (2) (a) If it is not known in
whose ownership, possession or custody a bull is for the time being, and the
fact cannot be ascertained after an enquiry in the prescribed manner, the
Licensing Officer may seize the bull or cause it to be seized, and if he is of
opinion that the bull has attained the prescribed age and is unsuitable for
breeding purposes on any of the grounds specified in sub-section (1) of section
5, may direct that the bull be castrated by a method and in a manner approved
by the Director, and marked with a prescribed mark in the prescribed manner,
free of charge. (b) Every bull seized under clause (a) shall, after it
has been castrated and marked as aforesaid, where necessary, be sold by public
auction or sent to a pinjrapole or infirmary, recognised by the State
Government in this behalf.” ]
8. The
protection of cow is not for the milk it gives, not for the flesh it
carries, but for the dung it gives and the microbes contained in it,
which is the basis of our food security and sustenance. Hence as long as the
local breed of cows are giving dung, it is the sustenance and hence the mother of our civilisation in India. (For more scientific understanding, follow Mr. Subahsh
Palekhar and his Zero Budget Natural Farming, which is now followed by millions
in India, especially in Maharashtra for getting better output than the chemical based destructive farming)
