Being a environment activist; I hade scribbled something and request you, if you find any merit in it, please give some space at you bhadas4media.com.

Deepwali Celebrations Environment and Media
Soon we are going to see the so called secular electronic and print media will come forward and start educating about polluting the environment due to playing fire crackers and in the effort of suppressing the exuberance and happiness. We may get to see so many messages in public interest, celebrities coming and asking us not to be so enthused in Deepawali Celebrations ….. as we have to protect the environment .. fair enough…
Now see what happens in Id-Ul-Juha or Bakr-id a Muslim festival where as a tokenism of sacrifice goats, cows, camels are brutally murdered in the name of Allah. Had you ever seen any media raising the same issue where festival of joy is symbol of big killing spree and hurting strong feelings of animal lovers?
Just imagine a place where the slaughtering of thousand of animals took place in a single day; think of blood stains, residues of fleshes, skin of killed animals and other leftovers.
Have you ever heard from any print or electronic media about the pollution prevention and protecting the environment? Did any media house ever gather the courage of educating the people of repercussions of celebrating this festival?
Under Provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 it is illegal even to exhibit the performance of animals in films where no killing takes place but on Bakar Id day it can be seen every where in the country. thousands of speechless animals are brutally slaughtered in name of religion.
