Good to see public outcry against casteist fascist forces bringing some change.
Wooo! Congrats Gujarat! Hopefully things continue to progress.

It seems really weird to me that the cow is venerated but simultaneously untouchable once it’s dead. That does embed a pretty wicked denial of service attack right into the underpinnings of the system.
I was a kid during the garbage collectors’ strike in NYC. I can’t imagine what a dead cow collectors’ strike is like.
Hindu system has a very peculiar and strict concept of pollution. Even the human dead body is considered polluting. If a person visit a house to see a dead body, they will to have take a bath before entering their own house. In olden days there will be a pond nearby to bath. Many follow this custom even now and do a ritual bathing by sprinkling water on their head from a water tap outside.
