Long live the planet of the cows ! By Justice Katju

A 4 day Gau ‘Mahakumbh from 4th to 7th September is being held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, about which a link is given below :

I suggest some Indian film producer should make a film called ‘ Rise of the Planet of the Cows ‘ ( on the line of the American film ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes ). It should show Indian cows breaking out of their ‘goshalas’  and enslaving humans. I am sure it will be a great box office hit, and gross 10 times more revenue than ‘Mughal-e-Azam’, ‘Sholay:, Pathan’, ‘Padmavaat’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijan’, or ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’

 Cows have more status and respect in most parts of India than common people. Cows are revered, worshiped and respected unlike women, hungry children, elderly people, minorities, and dalits. The animal has got its own army in the form of gau-rakshaks and mere allegation of eating beef ( even if not substantiated  ) is an offence now, with many people having been lynched in the process. 

Jai Go-Mata  ! Jai Go-Mutra !
