Animal Behavior

I can't help go through the Press reports again and again as the true nature and extent of the horrific incident related to animal cruelty registers in my mind. And as my mind comprehends, I feel myself going into a 'daze' ....

This incident is so extraordinary that after reading about it, I cannot display emotions like anger, horror ridicule etc.

Instead my mind starts to think rationally, and go over the event reported in the media.

Last Sunday afternoon, some miscreants breached the security in a well guarded Government complex - The Delhi Jal Board at Lajpat Nagar, despite full deployment of security guards, and presence of a sizeable number of Jal Board personnel who were on emergency water supply duty.

Their task? To round up and kill stray dogs. Dogs which had used to reside inside the DJB complex !

I wondered.... are human beings capable of premeditated murder of dogs?? Why?

These miscreants with the help (most likely the case) of some of the DJB personnel proceeded to unleash what can best be described as sadistic and cannibalistic torture of the hapless animals.

The 11 dogs were cornered, their legs broken, cuts inflicted and bodies pierced with 'bhaalas' and other sharp objects, before they died. Their bodies were cut and chopped.

Not only this - some of the dogs who ran into the Jal Board building in sheer desperation were rounded up again and subject to the same treatment.

It is reported that the carcass was preserved later for human consumption.

The above graphic description alone, will make any normal person feel sick. Imagine how the minds work, of the people who performed this ghastly act.

There should be no doubt that a normal human being cannot display the type of behavior described above. So are these people normal?

We live in a City, where an innocent human being can be murdered in full public view, and it can take more than a decade before he is brought to book. So when we talk about animals being killed is there somebody listening?

The Delhi Jal Board Chief being a bureaucrat, has been loyal to his professional and provided a befitting response - he hasn't yet received the formal report sent to him by the Animal Welfare Board of India (whereas this report was e-mailed to him by Maj Genl Kharb, Chairman).

The Delhi Police are burdened with more significant matters (on which they will not act anyway) - Will they respond to an incident involving killing of dogs - that too stray ones ? Anybody's guess.

In my opinion all animal lovers should come together and lodge a strong protest with all agencies involved. And continue to protest till they are heard.

And I think this protest should not have so much to do with the killing of innocent animals.

The protest has to do with the inaction thus far, in rounding up a group of people who possess an unsound mind, and therefore are a danger to society. What stops them from attacking humans one day?

These people don't seem to be in a 'normal' state of mind. And I won't be surprised if it is foiund that they require psychiatric treatment, before they are punished as per the applicable law.

Memories of the 1971 War.....

1. Flight Lt. Vijay Kumar Wahi - 10144 F(P) Vikram Wahi was my class mate in Class V, in 1971. When the Indo-Pak war broke out in December 1971, our Class V final examinations were on. Many 'fauji' families had to grapple with the stress of these exams, with the war as a backdrop. There were two papers each day, and between them, during the break, I remember seeing the Air Force's fighers landing close by at Palam, after a Combat Air Patrol sortie... On the 7th of December, 1971, we - all 10 year olds were busy writing whatever we had crammed, in our answer sheets, when all of a sudden, we noticed some commotion at the back of the classroom. We saw Vikram Wahi, breaking down, and sobbing away inconsolably. We ten year olds did not quite comprehend the problem, and got back to our answer sheets. That was the last we saw of Vikram Wahi. Till this day, I do not know where Vikram went, and where he is. On the 6th of December, Vikram's family received the news t

The Great Indian (CWG) Tamasha...!

Less than two weeks to go. Teams from some Countries are already here. Is Indian ready - for what is easily one of the biggest events she has ever hosted in her history? An show that every Country would pride itself in putting up. A show that every guest attending would remember for a long, long time... Less than two weeks to go. Construction in stadia and the games village is still incomplete. And whatever is supposedly complete - some towers in the games village which houses the living apartments for the participating teams - have been clearly and unambiguously been certified as 'un livable'. Because animals are roaming around inside apartments and 'shitting' on top of the beds. Electrical systems are faulty and therefore there is danger to life. Yesterday, a foot bridge meant to be used by the team members and officials collapsed, injuring 23 people. A foreign journalist manages to purchase explosives - enough to organise 200 different explosions, stuff all of

Brigadier Sawai Bhawani Singh MVC - An erstwhile Maharaja and a forgotten Soldier

Most Indians do NOT as a matter of habit, remember our National heroes especially t hose, that put their lives at peril to guard the frontiers of our Country, and made sure that we live - independent and free, each day. One such soldier of the soil - Brigadier Sawai Bhawani Singh MVC - also the Maharaja of Jaipur, fought bravely for the Nation, during the 1971 Indo - Pak war. So bravely, that the Nation decorated him with India's second highest gallantry award - the Maha Vir Chakra. Yet, when he died on April 17, 2011, his death went virtually un-noticed in the backdrop of  the cricket, the scams and the other problems that took precedence in this Country. Sawai Bhawani Singh Bahadur was born on October 22 1931 to Sawai Man "Jai" Singh II (Maharaja of Jaipur from 1911) and Marudhar Kanwar of Jodhpur, the first of his father's three wives (who would die when her son was 13). Given the nickname "Bubbles" by his British nanny because of the
