Animal Rights V/s Human Rights

-Mahavir Sanglikar

In India, millions of Dalits are being persecuted by so called upper class Hindus. They are killing thousands of Dalits just because they are Dalits.

On the other hand, millions of daughter- in- laws in India are being persecuted and thousands of them are being forced to commit suicide for dowry.

Every day, there are communal riots in one or another town in India. Innocent people are becoming victims of such riots.

Terrorists are killing innocent people in mass every day.

We read daily newspapers and watch T.V. news everyday full of such incidents. But none of us speak a single word of such persecutions and killings of human beings. On the other hand some people always speak about killings of animals (especially cows*), small insects and invisible living beings even if they are harmful to us. They even speak about the life in green vegetables and underground vegetables and do not eat such vegetables because we do not want to kill them. But they have nothing to do with killings of human beings. Isn't it foolish?

They do not know the true meaning of Ahimsa, so they do not have any place for humanity in their mind.

Talking on killings of human being can be harmful for them so the best way is to run away from working for human rights (what is it?) That's why they talk only on animal rights (we know it very well).

I am a staunch vegetarian and have not involved in any business that is based on killing of animals. I do not use anything made from animals. But that does not mean I should ignore killings of human beings.

What are your comments?
