Cow > Woman

Dear sanskari terrorists, Moo! Hope this friendly sound calms and comforts you in preparation for what I have to say. It seems safer to prep you these days when you are on a hair trigger from the stress of defending the honour of cows, Brahmins, and women. I’m going by Rajasthan Bharatiya Janata Party President Madan Lal Saini, who recently said, “People should respect the points of belief of any country, society or religion…when Humayun was dying, he summoned Babur. And he had said that if you want to rule Hindustan…It is necessary to respect cows, Brahmins and women.”

Please don’t focus on the fact that Babur was Humayun’s father and had died 25 years earlier. The BJP is aiming for the world record in embarrassing rubbish said publicly, and this is a valuable addition to those riches. Focus on the cows-Brahminswomen end of things.

I’m writing to express my contempt for the religious sentiments you act out on and/or justify. You know the ones—cow trading, cow smuggling, cow transporting, cow rearing, cow slaughtering, and cow eating, all of which affect you so deeply that you thrash and kill people right there, on the roadside. And the ones where women are such sacred goddesses and mothers that you don’t think a little rape could possibly take away from their magnificence. What do terrorists do? Unleash death and destruction on random people in random places, so that the public never knows who’s going to get it in the neck next, so the public is

constantly terrified. That’s you, sanskari terrorists! (Moo.)

See, I couldn’t care less about how you feel about cows. Go ahead and revere cows until you’re blue in the face, or eat them with a good sauce, whatever. There are laws in place which you are free to invoke with due legal process, or not. I’m merely pointing out that you are loathsome hypocrites filled with a bloodlust that has little to do with piety since piety is a bouquet of peace, compassion, and love. That you feel personally, individually empowered to protect said cows-Brahmins-women by savaging people, that you feel entitled to enact or incite bigotry with impunity, sure of political backing—or that you are the political backing—makes you violent fundamentalists. Your average religious person typically doesn’t go around assaulting and/or killing people to the whiny soundtrack of a persecution complex. It’s the flaming fundamentalists who turn into self-appointed guardians of the faith, armed with swords or sticks or guns or just their bare fists. So basically, you are exactly

like the Taliban. Moooo.

You Goddess-worshipping, mother-fetishising, woman-protecting creeps are too often found at the bleeding edge of the headlines about rape and abuse of women. If you haven’t raped and murdered them personally, you’re taking out rallies in defence of the rapist-murderers. You are dismissing rapes, murders, mistreatment and abuse of women as little nothings, small incidents that keep happening, trivial distractions from the big picture of changing the sociopolitical vibe of India into that glorious Hindu Rashtra you yearn for. And if anyone points out how unsafe India is for women, you doth protest too much.

In your beautiful new dawn, cow trumps woman. At least that’s the only explanation I can come up with for why cow-related lynchings are rising with grotesque righteousness, at the same time as we discover more and more instances of women being treated like sex toys to be used and thrown in the trash, or proxy bodies to be destroyed in your war against other men. And cow trumps Muslim man.

But you sanskari terrorists are more cowardly than the Taliban because you don’t even have the confidence to get triggered alone and act alone. Look at the videos of lynchings—it’s usually a pack of men surrounding a victim, but only darting in tentatively with the odd blow, then darting back to the safety of the crowd. They’re like hyenas poking at a wounded animal until it is so feeble that the pack can finally swoop in for the kill. And you’re not exactly lionhearted if you’re attacking women and children with your p****, are you? Moo.

Those of you who assault and kill people because cattle, you are sanskari terrorists. Those of you who raped three-quarters of the children in a governmentrun girls’ shelter in Bihar, making three of them undergo abortions, leaving three of them pregnant, and facing accusations of having killed and buried more—you’re sanskari terrorists. There are a lot of you out there doing similar things, and you are all filth.

I see that huge vein throbbing in your forehead. Maybe we could try mooing together?
