sweep of lts civilisation that its was almost impossible to definewhat is shictly Indian. None could ever fix Parameters of Indianculture. So old was the native culture that even its original lan-guage became almost extinct from the popular conversation.Several universal religions came to this land and threw roots intoits soil. Muslims; when they arrived on the Indian soil, had a veryvigorous faith with them. They had sterling qualities and honest.

Their hearts were lit with the flame of faith. Truthfulness, integri-ty and honesty were the hallmarks of their character. AU these

attracted a constant stream of converts to the new faith. This nat-

urally provoked some kind of struggle between the enthusiasticfaithfuls and followers of old, superstitious beliefs who we-re notagreeable to giving up theit faith.

CAUSES OF TENSION:Scvcral other irritants further aggravated the tense Hindu

DIVINE FAITH:

detested by a section of Hindus who consider cow to be an object, of reverence and worship. This irksome irritant of the Hindu-

Muslim relationship has defied sotution even since the time ofMughal emperor Akbar.

POST PARTITION:The post-partition history of India is too well known to bc

used to visit Vinobaji at Wardha even as his campaign was at its, peak They woyld touch his feat and seek his bleslings. These

leaders knew it very well that it was impossible to ban tlre cow

slaughter and that any such stcp woul{ only starve lakhs of pco-

ple. They were convirrccd that the prgblem has no solution. But in

public they supported Vinobaji's stand and indulged irt

hypocrisy.

COW PROTECTION :

The hidden hand of the government was exposc'cl ort thc

appropriate'moment. ln1977, the Hindu chauvinist orgarriscd a

big rrational lcvel cow protection cotrference at Nagpur. I too was

askcd to speak at thc public scssion as a representativc ofMuslims and Islam. The spcech was taPe recorded and rvas rePro-

duccd irr a fortnightly, Tamccr-e-Hayat, the spokesnran ofNadwatr.rl Ularna., I-ucknow by its cditor latc Maulana Islraq

Jalees Nadrvi. It was latcr publisltcd in an Urdu booklet by

Maktaba Zikra, Rampur. Translations in other languages fcll-

lowecl subsequently. Still later, in 1983 when the situation had

charrgcd rnorc drastically, wc cornpilcd the specch into a book. []yttrcn Vinobaji, passed away followirrg his fast unto death. By the

grace of Allah, I found everything tl'rat I had said in 1977, comingtrue,

NON BAILABLE ACCUSE:1'lre glad-tidings contained in the verse quoted in the begin-

ning of this speech seelrLs to be proving itself. All those quarttfswho hac{ held Muslims guilty of cow slaughter are now changingthcir opirrion. Perhaps evcn more are now discovering that econ-

orrry of nearly 300 million people of this great country have eithcrdirr<tly ur indircctly to do sonrething with a livc or dead cow oreven wittr its slaughter. Ils bc,ef, hides, bones, horns sustain a vast

economy. Some wicked individuals even run a thriving trade onin skins crf calves much before they are born. For this they evenslaughter the pregnant colvs. Scvetal state governments togetherwith tlre r:entral governnlent abet such criminals. Therefore the

title of this book has bcen suggeeted as 'Who is the rcal killer ofcows'?

It was found nc.cessary that this book is translated intoEnglish for wider introduction of the view among hon-Muslimbrethren. We have therefore arranged its English, Hlndi andMarathi translations.

IMPACT ON HINDUS :

The 1977 spee<h on 'Cow Protection and Indian Muslims,had good impact, particularly among those Hindu brethren who

vant of Cod them by quoting from holyQuran and a s. This ii purely Iilrine gr"."that the Qur ced by me tad a miraculousimpact.

NOT EVEN 17o':

This speech was widely reviewed in Hindi, English,Marathi, Urdu and Gujarati newspapers, Some intellectuals even

cxportcd out of India. Thc Jains, who would otherwise not killcvcn a fly out of religious belief, carry out the internaticlnal tradein tallow (cow's fat). This is purely with the official consent andundc.r its supervision. Muslims ane no where involvcd in thiswlrole affair. In fact among those who thrive on beef trade andexport, Muslims are no where to be seen.

CONFRONTATION :

By Allah's grace the manuscript of my speech reachcd tlrehands of Vinobaji during the peak of the cow protection cam-paign. He clarified through statements that his campaign was notin the least directed against Muslims. Rathcr his battle for non-violence was against the government.

A MISUNDERSTANTING:But, regretfully, some naive Muslims considercd my lpeech

to be supportive of prohibition of cow slaughter and as suchinterpreted it to others. While the fact is that I never pleaded thatIslam prohibited the consumption of beef,

FASTING UNTO DEATH :

Circumstances change. Only a few days later, AcharyaVinoba Bhave went on"a fast-unto-death to press for a ban on cowslaughter. Though the government hardly felt any pressure, inpopular discussion in villages and towns, the tone betrayed hos-tility towards Muslims.

MUSLIM DELEGATION:I conferred with my friends on the issue and formcd a dele-

6ati<ln conrprising reprcsentatives from our Majlis-c-TalcemrrlQuran, Manavta Sandcsh .dshram, lndian Secular Socicty, arrdPayam-e-lnsaniyat circle. The delegation left for Wardha by carwhere Vinobaii was observing tiis fast unto death.

tion. We met Vinobaji and the impression gained by me was that .

he though had a serene mood, but rvas inwardly disappointcdwith prospects of resolution of the issuc.

LIVES ON DEATH BELT:I plcaded with him that his fast-unto-death was fraught

rvith dangers for Muslims. If anything untoward happencd tohinr, lifc of lakhs of innocent Muslim nren, women and childrenu,ill be irr pcril, There will be anti-Muslim riots. There was smellof violcrrce irr thc air and things were turning for thc worse.Vinobaji consoled mc in the following words: Maulana Parckh, Ihavc rcad your speech on Cow protection. I am satisfied thatMuslinrs are not at all responsible for cow slaughter. I am againstthc government.

PROI]LEM IS OF FOOD :

Only the pervious day, Wcst Bengal chief minister I),oti []asuand Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Mr. K. Karunanidhi had visitedVinobaii. They had explained that they did not consider thc cowslaughter a religious issue. Rather it was an issue related withpopular food habits. "A ban on cow slaughter would starve todc.ath l.rkhs of people", they had sounded Vinobaji. The two chicfnrirristcrs had touched his fcet and krft. Vinobaji was higlrly dis-turbed rvith their stand. He told us, "l will tackle thcrn']. ParekhSalreb, dorr't worry, I consiclcr Mrrslinrs as my friencls. I ha<l brxlnrr'ct'ivirrlg tlrcir cooperatiorr", lrc rernarkr:d.

CON]'ENTEI):Qazi Abdul Wahab and Atrdul Aziz engincer alsrr ltxrk part

in tlrc corrversation. They askcrJ hinr whethcr he was satisfiedw,ith the total ban on cow slaughter irr Maharashtra. Vinobajiexpressed his approval: "Ycs, I orrly wanted this". They thenrcferred to the automatic slarrghter h<luse run by .Ilatrcock &Company and the Brook Bond India l.-imited where two ihr:rrsandaninuls are slaughtered everytlay and packed and expxrrted.

But'tl'ren an officer frorn his Ashram informed us that theslaughtcr house only uscd oxen and buffaloes for thc purpose.Cows wcre not slaughtered there. Vinobaji had very poor hear-ing. Whatever rve said, it was passed on in writing to him by hisaidcs and thcn he would reply to us. Following this I requestedhim to scrrd some of his ptrrplc thcre in ordcr to supcrvise per-sonally. I told hinr that the slaughter of buffalocs rvas orrly for thcrramcsake.

Fatihah and even read it out to me.l told him that onty,the fcar ofaccountablilty before God on the day of judgcmcnt will nrakcman adhere to his laws.lslam has several do's and don,ts. tt pro-hibits a lot of things. Observance o[ all this is enforced autonrati-cally through the fear of the day of judgcmeht (Aakhirah). It isour belief that the day of judgement is pre ordained. Thc SurahFatihah carries this message and is repeated by cvcry Muslim inall his prayers (Sala0 all throggh the day.

DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE:Thcre were press reporters roanring all around us. Doctors

rvere chccking Vinobaji's condition and pulsc rates from time totinrc. Vinobaji sent his pcrsonal staff to see us off. Wc lcft quitc'alot of documentary proof with Vinobaji and returned safely to.Nagpur.

ZERO RESISTAT.ICE:Next morning, newspapers across the country carried the

report of delegation's parleys with Vinobaji. The role and stand of\,Iuslims in the cow protection (or slaughter) affair was fullyexplained. The reports clarified that Muslims were not the mainculprits behind the cow slaughter. By Allah's grace, the purposewas achieved without much confrontation.

. Even as the reports were being published, the Buddhistscholars and individuals and Dalits held demonstrations againstVinobaji throughout Maharashtra and came out with their itand.They boldly announcad their resolve .to continue to eat cow,smeat and rnaintained that it was not prohibited under their reli-gion. This reaction saved Muslims from being a party opposed toban on cows slaughter. Then a section of newspaper commentedabout sympathetic role of Muslims.

FOLIR PRONGED BATTLE:Whatever little was left in opposition to Vinobaji,s pro-cow

campaign was contributed by the DMK leaders from Madras whoannounced that they will not give up their right to consume cowis

meat. Sevcral other South lndian Hindu Orgarrisations and tra.l,'

unions also came out in opposition to Vinobaii. Other o-ccf eatirrr;

pc,ople too rc him. It was evident for a

iarge number they need to wagc a fotrr

pronged war igionists to demand a ban

on cow-slaughter.

EARTHQUAKE IN AN EMPTY BEEF-BOWL :

Even as we wene able to remove Muslims from the pro and

anti cow slaughter camPaiSn, a leader of a Muslim party which

even participates in elections threw spanner in the works by afiery speech in Mominpura locality of Nagpur wherein he

declared that Muslims will not forsake their right to eat beef.

Mercifully this fearless leader spoke in the Muslim dominated

Mominpura. Otherwise he would not have left the scene aftei his

speech, but would have left the Muslims to face the aftermath. Yet'some parts of his speech appeared in the newsPaPers. He had

made safe exit from Nagpur but it took quite some time for us to

wash off the scars left by him. Thankfully the speech did \ot do

rnuch harm.

ON THE TIP OF N OAGiTR :

Such fiery speakers may be winning a lot of admirationfronr people in Muslim mohallas but they only make the Muslimsliving c'lsewherc vulnerable. By whippinB uP emotions on a sen-

sitive issue like cow slaughter they cannot do any worthwhileservice to the Muslims. They only enhance the scnse of insccuri-

ty among those scattered Muslims who are not at all responsible

for it. They will be vulnerable against communaliss. Such speak-

ers unintentionally create difficulties fortheir fellow Muslims'They musi fear God and should not push them into the abyss olruin. 'Ihis verse of the holy Quran must receive attention:

"Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who have changed

the favour of God into blasphemy'and caused their people todescend to the house of prediction.'

PSYCHOLOGY OF REACTION :The cow slaughtcr has bcen a trone of contcntirrrr between

nrajority and nrinority and has bcen rcsponsil>le for comurunaltension and strifc for long years. But going hy acrrral stale of

. affairs N{uslims could easily be wiilrdraivn fiom tl-ris wholc tick-irsh issue. Rather thcy could be rcplaccd with thc scr.;rc of othcrpeoplc and business houscs who arc mainly involvecl in becfbusincss. It is quite possible to nrobilise public opirrion againstthem over the lssue. Muslims are a people raised by the almightyAllah as a group that invitcs people towarcls AIla-h and his reli-gioir' Mere raising of dcmands provokes reaction a.ct it does notcreatc any conducive atmosphere for a commurrity that tras to dis-charge the obligations of dawah (lrropagation) in thc country.COW AND PATHAN:

Even as the anti-corv slaughter campaign was goirrg on inIndia, I h;d the opporti-rnity to travel abroad. I happcncd to visitKarachi where I found that the cows had unusual height, almostcqual to burly Pathans frorn Frontier. They had fantastic girth andphysique.

'. Enclrriries rcvcalcd that pakistanis tended thcir cows withgrcat carc while thosc that werc slaughtered thcrc, wcrc thosethat Hindu brokers from India sold tlrem. These brokers werepurchasing irrvalid, old, infirm and sick cows from Ind,a in bulkpaying a pctty Rs. 15 to 20 for each. A medium quality pakistanicow carricd a price of Rs. 7,000 to 10,000. So, for slaughter pru-pose, thcy did rrot use their own cows. The cows wcrc even morecostlier in thc Middlc East wheh each of them was priced at noless than Saudi Riyals 3000. Saudi Riyal in those days was equiv-alent to Rs. 3.25 which meant that each cow had a price oi Rs.26,000. The natural conclusion is that even though there was noprohibition on cow slaughter in thd Muslim countrics, it was notwithin everybody's capacity to sacrifice cow for meat purposes.So naturally they dcpend on Indian beef exporters for iheii sup-plies. Conrparing the two markets, one could also guess the rangeof profits the Hindu beef exporters may be earning.

COW SACRIFICE IN A IIINDU STATE:Ilr.rl strange is the fact that crlws arc even sacrificed bcfclrc

Much more startling is the fact that the blood from the sac-rificed cows is sprinklcd over the deity's fcrt by the priests in thcprecincts of the temple. Had it bc,en elsewhere, *e could haveeasily dismissed the phenomcnon. But it happns in a Hindustate, within thc precinct of a Hindu temple and at the hands ofthe priests (Dharmacharyas).

'lf it is seen like this, a joumey of Ncpal isconsidered as a journey abroad. But the rcsidentsof India do not require a passport; an iderrtity

' card from the police is sufficient. It took 7 days toobtain an identity card from the CrarvfordMarket Police Station. Now how would we go (toNepal)? Is it by train, by bus or straight (simply)by plane. A train journey is quite long. It takes 30hours to reach the Indian-Nepaicsc (tndo-Nepalese) border from Bombay. It ta.kes arrother20 hours to reach Kathmandu whicli' is another150 miles away. I personally had a lot of caslr. So,I decided to go by plane.

The Indian Airlines planes to Kathmandu areavailable from Delhi, Varanasi, Catcutta and?atna. The distance between Patna andKathmandu is less, so the rates over there are low(of the tickets). Majoritv of the people prefer togo from Patna, so the rush over there is quiteheavy. Booking is not available easily. The ratesof tickets from Delhi to Kathmandu is 3 timesthat of Patna to Kathmandu. But, the planc fromDelhi stops at Agra, Khajuraho and Varanasi, forone day. So a one day halt can be taken (for siBhtseeing) at these places. I rvas the son of "Baniya"so I took this route (fiom Delhi).

We reached Kath'mandu in 40 minutes fromVaranasi. When we watchcd from the window ofthe plane, we could see the mountain range as inthe Indian rup and even the illiterate can realisethat we have to cross these mountain ranges. TheTribhuvan airport at the Kathmandu City is aninternational. airport where Indian Airlincs, AirIndia and many foreign aircrafts also land. But,

22 COW SI,.AUGHTER:

when we see the formalitics of the customs itseems that the Indian system is superior. I wasapprehensive whether I rvould rcquire a deter-tive to find my baggage. Cod knows what youbring to Kathmandu and what you take awayfrom here. Information regarding hotels is avail-able at the enquiry department at the airport.Rates of hotels, whether accommodation is avail-able or not (information is available) and evenreservation is done here.

I saw colourful taxis coming out of the.air-port. Majority of the taxis arc fapanese Toyotas. Adriver and five people can sit in these taxis. Thepetrol rate is double, i.e. Rs. 34 for 5 liters. Therate (farg) of taxi is also double.

Nepal gets petrol by air cargo, therefore it is'expensive. Saw a few black Mercedes cars and

' also beautiful, shining, uniformed drivers. Thxishave no meters. ll/hy?'The driver of my taxiexplained that the black vehicles (cars) are taxisowncd by the.King of Nepal. Thus, the King ofNcpal is also a taximan. Thc King of Nepal has'Yeti' travel agency and a plane company also.The taxi driver (mine) was a graduate. He told

. me that he wanted to go to Cermany for furtherstudies. According to him, many graduates inNepal ply taxis as they don't have money to dosome other trade. My taxi driver had not yetgfown a beard and moustache (i.e. he was stillyoung, yet he was a father and was very talka-tive). Hindi and English was spoken fluently byhim. He did the job of a guide while travelling inKathmandu. He informed that the place whichDevanand had hired for the shooting of 'HareRam Harc Krishna' had not be.en cleared of dues

tons of cow's bcef during this period. And it is nc'cessary to krlowthat this beef did not come from cadaver animals but was purelycow bcef that canre from invalid, unclaimed cows that roam ourstrcets.

ISLAMIC ETIQUETTES OF SLAUGI{TER:Evcrybody should convincc hinrsclf that Muslims posses a

divine scripture, thc. holy Quran arrd are furthcr dndowed lviththe living Sharia of his Prophct. They lrave a legal code with themwhich outlines all etiqucttes of lifc.. Thcy have to follow these eti-quettes in their food habits and evcn for slaughteriug the animals.It specifies that the animal is halal (pcrmitted); should have beenacquired in lieu of money and should not bc a stolc'n one; the onewho slaughters is a Muslim; the arrimal should be made to lie fac-ing the Qibla; should have been fed propcrly betore slaughier;should utter Bisrnillah (l begin with the name of Allah) and 'Allah- o - Akbar'(Allah is the greatcst) berore applying the sharp knifeon the ventral side of the neck so as to drain out the entirc blooc-lwithin scconds. The complete draining out of blood is possiblconly if the body's contact with brain is not disconnectd.at thetirnc of applying the knife initially. Since Islarilic Sharia prexribesconsumptiqn of blood-free nreat only by the Muslims, this cau-

tiorr rnust Lre obscrvcd. And the wann-blooded animals lravingfluid blood drain fast on being slaughtered this way.

There is all possibility that such etiquettes are not observcdwlren the slaughters are orgainsed stealthily by the exporters.This is more so in states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra,whlclr have imposed ban on cow slaughter. The Hindu exportersof beef gather the invalid, wandering cows from the strcets. Amidall the hush-hush it is not conceivable for one to observe all thescctiquettes of lslamic slaughter. lvloreover these exporters indulgcin doublespeak. While in India they console their co-religioniststhat it is only the meat of oxen and buffalo that they are export-ing, they bend on their backs to convince their clients that it is

cow-beef. For a Muslim it is very easy to know whether the meathe is consuming is from an animal that was slaughtered by a halalway or from a cadaver animal. Thcy feel a vomitting sensation fornon-halal meat. Though Araba may be weakening their faith inmany ways but are now convinced that the imported becf fromlndia is a mixed one, halal and haram, as well as from slaughteredand cadaver animals. So they clamped a ban on beef importsfrom India.

But one had only wished the ban would have been perrna-nent as cows would have bcen secured or the satisfaciion ofHindu brethren and Muslims would havc becn sparcd of allega-tion of killing the cows. But it was not to be so. Our governmentwould not allow a ban on export of cow-beef in kc,eping n;ith itshypocritical a powerful delegation headed by Deputy CommerceMinister P.A. Sangama to the Arab capitals to persuade them toresumc cow-bcef imports. It only raises the question as to tlrc sin-cerity of the govemment with regard to ban on cow slauglrter. Isour government sincere in its profession to stop cow slaughter? Itis not hypocritical to maintain within the country that it is onlybuffaloe-beef that is being exported while in Arab countries weparade it as halal, fresh cow-beef.

FISCAL DEFICIT :

The India government catrnot fool us any more. Lirkhs trfIndian expatriates Iiving in the Arab countries would teslify tlratwhat is bcing imported from India is only cc.rw-beef. Arabs <lislikebeef of oxcn or buffaloes. They do not r:ven like the chicken, It isthe cow beef which fetches the best price from Arab markct.'I'heclricken scll there at Rs. 10 a kilogranr rvhile buffalo bccf i:; priccdat Rs. 20 a kg. Thcy need not inrport lruffaloe-bedf as they havcsufiiciently large number of buffalo-bcef stock for agrir,iulturalpurposes. Moreover buffaloe - bce( is insiprid and linrp. l['hcr r,hi,::k-en is though cheap thcre but it also cloes not strit their tas[r: asmuch as the cow-beef would.

It is not so with Arabs alonc. Even in the US, the c<lrv"trcr:I ismany times costlier than chicken or rnrrtton. For example if i:lrir:tt-err sells at Rs. 10 a kg. therg the cow-bcef would sell at I?.s, 1fi) a

t'g.

. I do not intend to offend anybody's sensibilities by rcvcalirrgall thcse facts. But I fear Allah and fcrcl that the unrest and conccrnamor:rg peoplc on the question of cow slaughter is riot sharctl bythc govcrnmcnt which apprehcnds economic barrkrup,tcyi if ntotal ban is irnposed on cow slaughter. It is only deceiving thepeoplb in the name of ban on cow-slaughter. It is like a corrspira-cy. One instancc could suffice in this regard.

IMPOI(T OF COW.FAT:It rvas in Punjab that the cat came out of the bag sr>nre time

a1lo .wherr lakhs of tons of tallow (cow's fat) was ultcarthed.[)uring cabinet discussions the cow's fat was termed as brrffalo fatarrd in order to cover up exports, the story they spread among thepcoplc was that the buffalo-fat was being used as an ingredient inVanaspati Ghee. The parliament gave the issue a decent burial inAugust 1983 in which speaker Balram Jhakhar passed a smartlyworded resolution and the whole matter faded out of headlines.The conrnrentary of Urdu weekly Nida-e-Millat is worth reading:

There are nepqrts that vanaspati ghce isbeing manufactured from cow's fat in ihunjab.Obviously Muslims have no ghc'e manufacturing

. plant or unit in Puniab. Nor do they have anylicense to import cow's fat. Those who hold thecow in reverence should now consider it a reli-gious obligation to probe as to how many peoplehave consumed this fat containing ghee whichmust be circulating in their blood. Moreover howlong this has been continuing? How does oneimport this fat in India? It is also the govern-ments duty to expose the culprits,behind this sac-rilegious trade. Had there been any iota of doubtof Muslim complicity in the affair, the religiouspeople would have settled the entire score bytheir plunder and killings. None knows howmany would have fallen its victims.

Trme and again reports have suggested thateven lard (pig fat) is used irr preparation of itemslike mixhrre (chiwada). It is the government'sdufy to ensure that edible items are free fromsuch ingredients which may offend pgople's reli-gious sensibilities.

The traders, like the thieves and robbershave no religion. They are mainly motivated bythe philosophy of profit. Profit from anywhere,by a means and anyhow, be it the flesh trade, byselling nations secrets and endangering nationalsecuriqr or by harming the interests of one's ownconrmunity. No conscience pricks. Nothing is

. abovc profit and nothing more sacnosanct thanmoney. The question is who will find a remedy?

to. If today they are using fats of cow and buffalo, tomorrow itnray be thc turn of dogs and cats. Perhaps they would not evenfeel qualms in using fat from human corpses.

THE LAST NAIL IN THE COFFIN:The statemcnt of Mr. Yogindra Makwana, Union Minister of

Statc for agriculturc drivcs the last nail into the coffin of the corvprotection controversy, Mr, Makwana had pleaded inability of theCentral Covemmcnt to enact legislation banning cow slaughterin the country as it was a state strbject and there was no scopc forthe ccntre to intcirvcnc. See thc following "editorial in YugDharanra, Nagpur, dt, Atrgust 24,7983.

The plea by N'lr. Yoginder Makwana, unionnrinistcr of state for agricultur'e that the Centrecannot lcgislate any law prohibiting the slaugh-tcr of cows is incomprehensible for the intellec-ttrals. In his opiqion it is a state subiect Whenclcvclopnrcnt projects are chalked out, it is com-plained that states are being discriminated.

The Union Finance Minister argues that the

1;rievance is not genuine as a specific project iscxecuted withirr tlrc jurisdiction of a particularstate and that such complaints have a politicalobicrctive.

Corv is rrot merely an animal. It hasincvitablc links with tl're country's cultural andeconomic life. This fact does not need frequentrepetition. It has a role ranging from nation'sagriculture to the fields like health and econor.,y.It is in this context that cow is regarded as

'Mother'. If ctntral ministcr cltrcs r.ol consider ita ccntral subjcrt, and leaves it to be sorted out bythe states, it is something rrnacceptable.

The nrling par$ has a tendcrrry to tunr conr-munal whenever the issue o( ctrw acquires tlrripublic dimensions. The issrre rtrnains alive onlybecausc a few elements consider the cow only asa food item. It is a fact that the atte.ntion for thecorv racc is not comrncnsuralc with the concern itis looked at lllr 1l1p n!asiscs. 'flrc, ntinister cnndeclarc in the parlianrcnt tllirt corv-becf is notbeing expxrrted, btrt, lrc cannot rcfute the gencralobservation of peoplc to thc contrary.

One can only wonder lhat even though twomost vociferous advocates of cow prutection, lhesaintly Mahatama Gandhi and Vinobaii left thisworld, urging throughout for a positivcapproach, the admirristrati<ln has been unable tcl

clrange its policy in this regan:!.'Ihe centrc wlriclrguidgs legislation in the states, cat'lnot enforcr: ilswrit ovgr the state, ihis is rather bizarre. Strclrreplies from a central minister offend the pco-ple's sensibilities and also damage the interests ofthe nation. To the contrary the animal husbandrydepartment was expected to devote its attcntionto improvement of cow population of the coun-try. But sorrowfully the gow is neglected evenafter 36 years of the indepcndence. If somebodylooks at it, it is merely an animal. How to bringabout a change in this outlook is today's princi-pal issue.

poscs new problems and issues. In certain issues the Muslimsmay be gtrilty. But the Satan would deploy all the guile at his dis-posal irr such a way that the disbelicvers hearts will only accepthim as the culprit.

I therefore rvould like to tell my coreligionists that theyslrould not gct emotionally involved into the slaughter move-n'rcnt. Thcy should rather study the situation and be firnr andappcal thc sympathetic quarters among the Hindu brcthrcn thatrrothing rvill bc gaincd by holding Mrrslims respnnsible for thecow slaughter. They should rather search for the real culprits arrdfind nerv dircctions for the preparation of atmosphere.

Pointless discussions and purproscless repetition of thedcbate on t\is aspect should be avoidccl. The issue erupts in pub,lic orrce or twice a year. Thcrserious scctions and scholars aniongMuslims should fcrenly observr: the sihration and should not letthc, nrattcr afall into the hands of non-:;r'rious ancl fiery lraturedyouth. In order to restore normalcy of moods and situation, ncrldto nrairrtairr a distancc from thc issue. If thc cow-beef is being con-strnred by 300 million peoplc of India why alone Muslims bcaccuscd or purrished for the "crime".

The Quran comniands a Muslirn lo come out of thc tcnscand nettlcsome (difficult) situations by uttering the rightCousrv<lrds:

"Say to my servants that they shoulcl onlysay thosc tl'rirrgs that arc best: for Satan doth sowdisscrrsiotrs anrong tlrcrn:]or Satan is to man anavowed encmy." (Beni Israel53)

And if (at any timc') an incitement to discord'is made to thee by the evil one, seek refuge inCod. He is the one who hears and knows all

(Ha Meem Saiada-36)

Evcry level of leadership of Muslims should now realisethat a Muslim is basically a messenger and has to convey thc mes-sage of lslam. Thc task of conveying the message presupposcs a

conductive and congenial atmosphere. When eyes of thc peoplc

Bet befogged, the immorality assumes the proportions of cpi-demic and symptomises hcalth and the governments cmploy allthe wcapons - right and wrong - for rcctifying thcir ccorrornicmistakes. On such occasions whipping of scntiments of slogancering campaign or clamouring of rights will not bc useful for a

rnessage-bearing Ummah. In such circumstances we shouldutiliric the deep insight, seek AIIah's rcfuge and should contribu tcto nraintaining thc atmosphcre of tolerance. This rvill rcnder alltenlptations and lures of Satan fuiile.

J rrst cast a glance on the scenario in the countr), bcing kickedr"rp.in the name of cow slaughter. India has ovcr 40 crores of peo-plc rvlro derive econonric benefits from cow. The Covernmentmaclrinery helps thcm in corv slaughter and cxports of its bccf,rr'hilc the number of Muslims who consume becf are not nrorc.tlrarr a fcw lakhs, that too onty the beef of the slaughteicd cou,s.Wisclorrr docs not dcmand that these few lakh Muslims shouldirrvolvr: themsclves in the controversy and disputcs rvith tlroscwlro hold thc cow in reverence and rcligious estccnt.

Certainly thc, rvisdom should dissuadc us frorrr arly con.fronti<lrr on this issuc. Not alone confrontation, whcn thc afl.airsgct out of hand, thcy evoke bloodier reprisals in the fornr of nras-s;lcrcs, rapc, clcstnrctiorr of farrns, slrops and factorics. AlrcJ tlrt'bnrnt of all this will fall upon Muslims while those comnruniticswho consume beef make a long list. So, why takc the blanrc onMuslims alone.

'fhe Muslims of India should remind themselves of thc fol-lorvirrg Quranic Verses :

" Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel(evil) with what is better. Then will he between

things.

before the microphones. The inflammatory speeches and fieryapproach could be dispensed with. For Allah's sake adopt cool-headcd approach and argue in style that is laced with wisdom.Sevcral oi itre riddles we face today could eaiily be passed overto othcr heads.

I had several occasions to hear such "Qaide Millat" whovowed to raise Qutb Minars of skulls, in his speeches. The speak-er lcft for the city of Qutb Minar the ncxt day as he bclonged tothat city. But thc city rvhcrc he spokc was scattcred with skulls ofmcn, women and childrcrr in such nunrbcrs that would be

enougl'r to erect several Qutb Minars. He had crrly pleased 'lblis',thc great Satan who rvas expressing gratitude to the Muslintleadcr for helping thcm immeasurabl,'.

My lrcart fills with atouy at this attitude of the comnrunitylcadc.rs. But I can only draw their atttntion towards what the

Quran comnrands us whcn it says that the evils should bcrc.nrovccl by virtugs. N{uslirns could avoici a lot of bad blood ifthe1, rccognise the placc and position assigned to them by Islamanrl discard policy of confrclrrtation. F'atlrcr rve should attcmpt iltsof tcnirrg tlre opponcrrts and critics by using tlre tools uscd by thcProphet in his darvah.

For exarll'rle in arr issue likc corv slaughtcr, thc Muslirnsadopted a vcry reasonable attitude of maintaining distance frornit in the postpartition era. Allah helpcd us by tuming thu'issucagainst a commercial lobby rvhich was prcrnroting the trade arrci

reaping huge profits. Unfortunately the control oi the nrcans ofpublicity and propaganda rests ',t"ith such people rvho would liketo put all the blame for cow slaughter on lvluslims alone. But nowthc rcal culprits are appearing before the people with their nefar-ious cdnres. Norv those lvho blamed Muslims are sometimeseverr apologetic at the exposure of the anti-cow activities of theirown coreligionists. justice prevails and we sec this happening

A NEWS FROM "PAIICHJANYA" WEEKLY

WIO IS THE CULPR,IT?

1997 To 1999 :

In a "Gau Raksha Samtnelan, Nagpur", tl-re spcech

rvhich I delivered has appeared in this book. This speech rvas

rnade in 1977. Today we are in 1999. After these 22years,l

am goingthrough issue of 'Palrchjanya', dated l8-ll-1999, it

has covered a nervs based on a advertisemettt published on

behalf of the President of lndia, whiclr promotes cow

slaughtering. The clipping of the nervs is lirrnished here, for

your infornration, to ertable you to get al1 idea, that how issues

are nranipulated and innocent people are blalned.

The Secret Bursters :

The correspondent of the said rlervspaper has reported

that the Governrnent of India required 12,13,500 thottsand

square decinteter calf leather. We have a terrdency of non-

conceahnent of the hidden secrets. Till date we were arvare of

the so-called culprits who slew the cpws and ate its flesh.

Now the report brought tnicnief culprits in bright sunlight.

The Defence Ministry :

Several departnrents of goverrlment of India requiretlre cow leather. The defence ministry has published this ten-der. lf you go through the entire text of the report, you willfind that the defence ministry requires the calf leather. Thetender has been published on behalf of trre president of lndia.You seek the justice and you wilr not find it. The shoulderswho clainr to secure the lndian borclers, tJrey even cannot se-

cure the poor cow? On the contrary they have beconte themurderers of the cow.

Purchascrs of Corv Leathcr :

Now the hunter himself is in captivity, and has no wayto escape. Now those people nrust have released a sigh ofrelief, who eat cow meat for no reason other then their pov-erty. Now they rnust have realised that the Govt. of India willspend several thousand crores of rupees to purchase the cowleather and will hardly require the nreat of slain cows! Sincethey require only cow leather.

Frce of Cost :

Till date, Muslinrs, Budlrists. Dalits. Christians. parsis,

South lndians, Korkus, Bhills, Bha,gis, Charrrars. Gonds.

I'IIE CULPRIT BEHIND?

Adivasis, similarly Nagas and the people of other backward

and poor conrmunities were considered as cow flesh eaters.

Today if they get this nteat free of cost no wonder, you can

go tlrrough the text of the tender. lt is self explaining and

requires no rnore details to explain. Panchjarrya is a respon-

sible paper. Many of its coverage is really remarkable. We,

are giving here entire clipping, wlrich is a photocopy of the

published story.

I Have no Doubts :

I rely upon the ner.vs of Panchjanya. But unable to fol-

low the vier.vs, rvhich are given at tlre end. You are also re-

qLrested to please go througlr tlrat:

On Bchalf of l']residcnt :

Tlre tenders are always invited on behalf of the

president of India and requires no need to infornr the oflice oftlre presiderrt. Naturally this is a regular routine of the deferice

r:rinistry.

Skin of ]\{illion Corvs :

It is a strarrge state of affair that the tender is published

on behalf of the President of lndia, rvhich invoh,es the killing

uf cows in rnillions and the office of the President is kept un

infornred? The fact may not be this!

Elitc President:

I have personally met the President oflndia Mr. K.R.

Narayanan. He has listened nry speech and I also had the

honor to listen to hiin. He is a very -eood friend of rnine and

a learned man. A thinker ancl a philosopher of this caliber is

a rare coinbinatiorr. It may noi be true the tender of suclr a

firrious activity is published on his belralf by the defen.ce min-

istry and the President office is kept un infornred. Tlris is just

not possible.

I'll I'lace Beforc I{im :

Though, tlris rnay not be the case. Even if I find tjlnre

'll place this instance betbre the President. I anr sr.rre that this

problem nray find sonre solution at its earliest. The solution

must be easy ahd anricable. I have nrentioned a solution to tlris

problenr in one of nry other booklets, riarnely; "The Security

of Cor.v and lrrdiari Muslirns.l'The said booklet is a speech on

tlris issue, which rvas delivered in the year I 977. One nlay go

through that.

A Pollular Statement :

Cow slaughteleis are only Muslinrs; this is a very popu-

lar statement, nrade by sonre very highly placed br-rt ignorant

people. The nrain hand in slainin-q of the cows, is of govern-

ment itself and nobody else.

Buyers of Corv i\{cat :

The expbrt of cow meat is being made by the popular

Airlines, Hotteliers, and niarry conrpanies openly and fearlessly.

This activity is being corrtinued in bright day light by these

people.

On The Ilorders of Pakistan :

On lndia Pak borders, nrillions of cows are being trans-

f'erred to Pakistan every day, by our Irrdian brothets. Dear

reader! Thesg are the rnain problems. If we find sonre solution

to this, I am of the opinion, that then only cow will be safe and

secured.

Protection. I anr sure a lot of hidden secrets and irrforntatiorr

nray be received regarding tlre cow slaughter. Earning crores

of rupees through the export of corv nreat and skin is being

done b! various states and the govenltrent in centre. Tanrrer-

ies and the rvorkshops for the manulacturing of leather itenrs

along side the borders of the country like China, Bangladesh

and Nepal etc. are the nrain culprits of tliis nracabre activity.

Millions of cows are beilr-9 transfbrred across the borders evely

day and the traders earn crores of rupees out of tlris illegal

business.

Not orrly indiv'iduals, Indian govt. itself and the

ntinistries arrange to serve cow-nleat ilr frve star hotels to

tlreir fbreign guests. All these aspects could be covered in the

senrinar and put to an open debtrte and discussion.

What I have done here, is to place betbre you a thct

findirrg report of Panchjariya of 14.11.1999 I lrope, tlris is a

sulllcient eviclence to reaclr yor.r to the naked thcts.

Nepal Naresh Gyanendra veer vikrarl Sirarr, reached' Guwahati by a special aircraft fronr Kolkatta and offered reli-

gious rites in kamkhiya tenrple in Assarn, Tlre religious riteswere followed by sraughtering of five a.inrars i, trre temprepremises. These animals were respectivery a bufthro, a sheepagoat, a duck and a pigeon, the secretary of tlre temple ShriNapakant Shanna, Declared that the sacrit'ice was done at thetenrple after the arrival of Maharaja of Nepar by queen Maha-rani Komal Rajya Laxnri.

Former cabi,et Minister S,rt. Maneka Gandhi'sorganisatio, l'peopres fbr Ani,rars", opposed this sacrificeand latinclred a, agitatio' in the vicinity, especially at footstepof Nilanchal Hills, where the Te,rple is situatecl. The serriorpriest Mr. Punnia Sharrna crairned that trre Maharaja of Neparoft'ered buffaloes for the sacrifice. He also stated that, whetherto offer sacrifice or not, depends entirery on the decision ofthe tenrple authorities.

Escortcd by Pujaris :

. When the royal family reached the temple, they were

escofted by the royal priest Shri Murnal Sharma and many other

Pujaris to the rlain site. Maharaja eiNepA efl'ectively dressed

in his royal costume, whereas Mahfrtani wore a silk sari.

Malraraja oft'ered prayers for an ltour in the terlple

and sought blessings of deity for his nation. This was reported

by his press attache Mr. Mohan Balradur Pande to nredia

people. The press reporters were not allowed to enter tlte

tenrple and to witness the royal prayer rites, when the Nepal

Naresh canre out of the tenrple he avoided to atrswer the press,

instead he posed for the photographs.

i 4 Warm Welcome by Goyernor & I\{inisters :

Slaughtering of Aninrals for Offerings :

Five animals were slaughtered & oft'ered to the deitywhile perfornring tlre religious rites in the ternple. The picture(shown here) is captioned a "buffallo" while observ,ed care_

fully it is a well built cow. Any how, it is proved that the kingand the queen of a Hindu State, canre to India and offerecl

sacrifice before the deity. He slaughtered the animals to please

the deity and to attract lier blessings.

Government Guests :

Many organizations opposed this ritual but has no ef_

fect, since the royal family were the state guest of BJp lead

government. The anintals were brutally slauglitered and theMalraraja accepted tlre guard of honour of Indian troops and

r,l,ent back to his country.

The Question Arises :

One can ask, whether this act of slaughtering animals

is perrnitted in Hindu Religion? whether the a,inral sacrifice

could be performed in the tenrple before the deity? lf it is so,

then we have to say notlring. But if it is not pennitted by HinduLaw, it becontes a nratter of concern for the religious authori-ties of Hindu Faith. Now they should come forward and give

a clear nrandate on this entire episocie.

VIEWS OF GREAT ruMKER E REFORMER,,SWAM I VIW KAilAND MAHAfuAJ"

. REOARDI NO COW PROTECTI ON

Swami Vivekanand is the personality, who has

influenced Indian elites, and the entire world remernbers him

rvith honour & respect. A summary of his speeches, his

discussions with people and his views has been collected by

his disciple Mr. Sharad Chandra Chakraborty entitled "In The

Cornpany of Vvekanandji" containing 305 pages, published

by Ram Krishna Math, Publication Division, Rarn Krishna

Ashram Marg, Dhantoli, NagPur-17.

Given here under is a gist of matter printed on page no

4-7, photocopy of the same is also provided for the sake of

authenticity.

An industrialist, preacher of "Gau Raksha Sabha" with

sallron pagdi and attired in sadhu sant uniforlrl came to meet

Swamiji. He gave Swanrijiaphotograph of Gau Mata. Swamiji

asked what was the purpose of your sabha? The preacher

vestablislr Gau Shalas at different places rvhere sick and trrinrescued cows are taken care of. We get lot of help & supportfi'onr Marwadi & \/aislr samaj. tlearirrg this Swarniji askecl

him recently some parts of lndia are hit by severe drauglrt and

fanrine conditions, as per Govt. sources about one lakh people

have died due to draught & stan'ation, is y'our Sabha providing

sonre help & releifto these hungry & drauglrt etlected people?

The preaclrer replied, we don't render any sort of help to the

stan ing people, just for cow protection our "sabha' has been

tbrnred. Swanriji told that your "sabha" has funds of lakhs ofrupees, even then rvould yolr not conte forward to help the

effected hurnan beirrgs? The preacher replied that ,.ntan is

tasking the fruits of his own misdeeds & sins hence he is facing

hunger, starvatiorrs & draughts".

Slvanriji got so annoyed with this reply his eyes becarne

very fierce & said that the "Sabha" which does not have any

synrpathy rvith the fellow lrunran beings and doesn't extend

on helping hand to the dying & starving brethren, and don,t

give them a handful of fbod grains instead spends lavishly on

the protection of birds and anintals, I don't want to have any

sort of relationship with suclr organization. Swanriji further

said that since you say that tlre starvirrg people are tasting tlre

results of their misdeeds, then the sanre could be said about

these cows reacl'rin-u to the lrands of butchers just to taste the

results of their rnisdeeds. hence there is no treed fbr cow

protection. lf this analogy of tasting results of deeds misdeeds

is applied to all then it is useless to help each other.

Then the preacher told Swarliji that on behalf of"Sarniti" I have come to collect donations front you. Swarniji

replied that I am a saintly man I don't ltave money to help

yor-rr sarniti. If I have money I would have certaitrly spend on

the starving fellow men, on protectiott ofhuntan lives. However

if some money remains unused or surplus, I would have give

it to your sanriti. After hearing all these the preacher felt

ashamed & left.

After presenting the sumntary of Swamiji's

conversation I would request my brothers who ltave been

engaged to the cause of cow protection to kindly pay sonle

serious heed to Swamji's opinions. lt is a good cause to serve

the weak, sick, thirsty & hung-ry abandoned cows br,rt the points

on which a great saint Swamlji has given so stress slrould also

be given due consideration.

The said book also contains the wordings of this great

saint wliich he spoke with a very heavy heart "Look what a

strange story the preacher has said that 'a man suffers and

Tdies dueto the results of his deed or misdeeds, what will we

achieve in having pity & sympathy on hirl? The downfall ofour nation can be welljudged here only that 'Karnravaad' ofyour Hindu religion i.e. "tasking fruits of deeds" has reached

to such an extent. A man who does not gets aft'ected due tothe suffering of fellow nran, he cannot claim to be a hunran

We have explained in depth the issue of cow slaughter,

we have also covered the views of Swanti Mvekanandji. Ifully sympathise with the feelings of our countryrnen regardi.gcow protection. Roarning of the stray cattle on the roads and

in the nrarkets is a conu'non scene everywhere. Arrival of cowson the slaughter houses can not be denied, but it is also truethat no butcher slaugltters the rnilk giving cows as no onesells them.

The problenr is for the barren, infertile, sick & nonmilk giving cows. It is an expensive and tough task for tlrepoor cow owner to feed and up bring such barren & sick cows.If a total ban on cow slaughter is imposed the roads & rnarkets

would be flooded with such unclairned, non milk giving sickand stray cows. The mission adopted by the Hindu brethren

of India to establish Goshalas and spe,d mohey on food shelterand rnedication is a good move and my complirnents for the

same. But the population ratio of our country does notcomprise of single ,rajority religion almost all major religionsof the world have very firm & deep roots here. Even in the

THE CULPRIT BEHIND?

u Societythere are groups like Scheduled castes Scheduled

Gonds, Korkus, Bheels, Jan Jati., Van Vasi who consunle

w meat. These are the non veg eating population which is

poverty line & can't afford to cook costly M'utton, Fish,

r chicken. To provide a cheap alternate to thern is also the

onsibility of the Govt. & the society as well'

There are more points to be taken into consideration

.e. our Jain brethern who are highly sensitive about "Jeev

a' life killing. Is there any rernedy to the scientific fact

that even vegetables do have life? In,such a case leave aside

human beings, even.birds, anilnals & insects can't survive

withqut consuming vegetation as their foods?

Similarly sorne religious beliefs and rituals create

problem for others, for instance in lslam, keeping pigs, eating

selting or purchasing is' strictly prohibited. Now if lndian

Muslim de[rands that no one should slaughteq eat & keep pigs

or even if they raise the demands that pigs should not exist on

I earth. In such an event I would oppose the Muslim dentands as

.,they don,t have any right to thrust their feelirlg & sentimepts

on otheri but let me convince that Muslirn society lras never

;raised such demand nor it would do so in future. Hence one is

free to eat and drink as p'br his/her wiSh and we are not

iauthorized to impose forcefully any Sort ofrestriqtions on others'

r In a multi religious based country like lrrdia we are

already facing corv slaughter problerrr but rrave rve tlroughtabout the repurcussion if denrands to ba, Fish & pigs is raised?

This too has to be taken into consideration.

From the countless tanks, rivers & sea shores lakhsof tonnes of flsh is extracted daily and laklrs of people are

equally engaged in fish eating, tish supplying & fish trading.

Highly alarming nratter ol concern is that besidesthe India's settled abroad there is a le_qitinrate lnclianpopulatio. rdrich is, or had been in foreign courrtries for thesake ofbusiness, ernploynre.t, furiher education, tourisnr a,dgames, frequency of their to and fro is a continual process.

Through universal globalization,, corlputer internets lilrrs,television and touris, foreign culture and custorns haveinvaded Indian tradition and culture. In such an eflectiveand astonishing way its irnpact on l,dian generation, we are

not only experiencing but our heritage and culture is bearingthe burns of it too.

Eating of tasteful delicacies has become fashion and

craze to such an extent that in every city in big hotels one can

easily place the order for any foreign non veg disrr of lris likeand enjoy the taste of it. Leave aside the regional, traditional,nrughlai & continental foods, it has become a cornnron site

that in the hotels & on tlre footpaths one could spot thousand

of people enjoying Chinese tast foods.

Along with rnany western nations tltere are couirtries

like Japan, Korea, China, Philippines. Indonesia, Taiwan,

Mainntar, Malaisia, Australia & New Zealand (including

lndian Ban Basis) where snakes, dogs, pigs. tiogs, lizards

& so many insects are shown as eatables on Natiorral

Geographic & Discovery chanttels. These scenes are so

horrible experience that it forces a staunch non veg eater to

feel vorniting sensatiotts.

Since we are prone to accept the glartrotrr & glitter

of foreign countries very rapidly I am very muih atiaid that

if the above ntentioned creatures are incltrded irl our non veg

nrenu certainly it would create a new nuisance as we have

already adopted western custottls, their ways of living even

their languages electronics & technologies, there is every

possibility that through filnrs, music, TV, songs & dances,

the above mentioned object of eating (Which are forbidden

in Islam) enter lndian kitchens then what will happen? Have

lve given any serious thinking to this issue? God forbids ifsuch a tendency nourishes, the poor, sick and oft'ended cow

would be left aloof and we would be fbrced to tackle a very

strange and arvful situatiott.

corvRab Ka Shukr Ad'a Kar Bh'ai

Jisne Ham'ari G'ae Ban'ai

Kyahi Ghareeb Aur Kaisi PY'ari

Subha Hui ;lungle Ko Sidhari

Dana-Dunka, Bhoosi-Choker

Khaleti Hai Sab Khush Hoker

Pani Peekar Ch'ara Charker

Sh'am Ko Ayee Apne Ghar Per

Kal Jo Gh'as Chari Thi Bun Mein

Doodh BaniWoh Uske Thun Mein

Doodh Dahi Aur Mattha Mask'a

De Na Khuda To Kiske Bus ka.
