31st December, 2008 : Chittorgarh witnesses a bandh

What do you do when some stranger asks you to stop consuming your staple diet – whatever it may be – with immediate effect? And then go on trumpeting that you are the most cruel animal on earth.

This is exactly the situation in Chittorgarh district where India’s national protectors – the saffron outfits – asked nomads to stop eating beef to protect cows – which otherwise were dying of hunger and carelessness.

And when they protested against this diktat, a clash took place where 15 people were injured. And the saffron outfits gave a call for bandh. Fortunately the bandh did not have any response.

Well, next time if the nomads ask these saffron outfits to stop eating dal and rice because they worship these commodities, will they do it?
