Spawning of science and modernism has drastically altered the fabric of Indian society.Undoubtedly, it has brought sea changes in all walks of life,where we even brag ourselves of being avant guard for initiating seminal reforms to champion the cause of human values. Such significant changes have ushered our society to scale apogee of success. Despite riding on this crest of success and glory, still we find our thoughts to be ossified in abysmal ignorance and superstition. Why still science and skepticism fails to be reigning deity of humanism which has made unprecedented growth ?Why still we are adhering to those religious practices which are meant for slaughtering of innocent animals ? Does it appear rational that to absolve our own sins and reprehensible acts we are butchering these meek creatures?How animals can be attributed for human actions ? Is it the best possible way to testify our piety towards almighty? Are we really pleasing the Gods or we are inviting their wrath by sacrificing animals? Every religion teaches the very gospel of being compassionate towards animals, and if we flout this cardinal principle then obviously we are inviting shame on name of humanity. Shedding rivulets of blood by sacrificing animals at the altar of God is an act of absurdity and it can,t be justified in ways.Be it Islam or Hinduism everywhere such practices are prevalent and are even allowed to prosper and proliferate. None of the religious leaders belonging to these two communities are giving jolts to the very conscience of their devout followers that such gruesome practices amounts to barbarism. Why they are not exploring and promoting alternative means to please Gods? It is better to be an atheist than to show reverence towards such acts of savagery which raises a big question mark on our sense of humanity.Let us transcend the barrier of religion and work ceaselessly for ennobling humanity by bidding adieu to such cruel practices ! Let us remember that,it is only by showering generosity on men and animals we can become darling of God !
