Death of Cows in Gaushalas: गौ-शालाओं में मरती गाएँ
Death of Cows in Gaushalas: गौ-शालाओं में मरती गाएँ
It is sad to observe that in the regime of Pro-Hindu Government elected by Indian masses, with great hope to preserve and protect Hindus and Hindu traditions & values and the nation, lakhs of cows dying starved for food and water in Gaushalas. Though the present Government came with high promises to save Desi cow and promote its progeny, incidences of cow deaths are reported more rampant than before 2014. Interestingly cow deaths were more in Gaushalas maintained either by the Government or by the leaders of the ruling party in 2016-17, probably due to confidence that “who can raise finger against so-acclaimed honest people devoted to protecting cows”. Here, I have tried to find out reasons for so many cow deaths in Gaushalas in the last two years.
1. Anti-Government media: It is often said that media working against the government is reporting actively for cow deaths and is more vigilant against ruling party leaders maintaining Gaushalas. However, it is one of the most desirable acts of media in a democratic system for the survival of the system. Now, it is apparent from viewing the audio-visual and print media that they keep on writing and telling success stories of RamRajya brought up by one or other Rams. It is getting more difficult than ever in India to report against the ruling party even the very powerful media groups are busy praising Modi ji.
2. A large number of Gaushalas: In India, there are more than 4000 Gaushalas and only 1850 are recognised by AWBI of these only 104 got registrations in the last 4 years only that too mostly in BJP ruled states. The management and monitoring of Gaushalas are very much in a fluid state and there seem to be so many bores to syphon the funds allocated and received. So many Gaushalas without funding for the last two years, nobody knows how they are managing.
Management of Gaushalas and Gausadans is under total chaos, and even AWBI does not have information on:
1. The number of Gausewa Ayogs, Gauraksha Ayogs, Gausewa Samities, Gaushala Ayogs and organizations created or established by the States and Central Government in last 5 years in India, year-wise breakup.
2. The number of Gaurakshadals, Guasewa dals, Cow protecting organizations and similar organizations registered in India, along with year-wise new registrations in last 5 years.
3. The number of cows and cow progeny reared, rescued, and maintained by Gaushalas and Gausadans in last 5 years in India.
4. The number of cows and cow progeny died at Gaushalas and Gausadans in last 5 years in India.
5. Important causes and reasons of deaths of cows and cow progeny died at Gaushalas and Gausadans in last 5 years in India.
6. Future plan of the State Governments and Central Government of India for protecting, nurturing and development of Cows and Cow-Progeny in India.
7. The number of people of India involved in transport, slaughter and carrying died during different movements for cow and cow-progeny protection in the last 5 years in India.

3. Earning from Gaushalas: Most of the animals are non-productive that is why they were abandoned to reach Gaushalas then where is the earning. Reports are there that many Gaushalas are gathering cows are forcing their early death through starving them so that they can dye to yield hide which is more valuable than the cow. Some of the Gaushalas are more commercial one selling milk and other products from sick cows. The sale of products from sick cows may sicken the consumers but nothing is more important than money in India, “Nationality, Religion and Morality all are on sale at discounted rate mostly by self-acclaimed DeshBhakts”.
4. Gaumata is not Gaumata now: In materialistic India where people are ready to murder brothers, sisters, parents and kids for a few bucks how Gaumata get escaped. Though Government has implemented the country-wide cow-slaughter ban, has stopped funding (since last two years) to shelter houses for cows. Farmers are committing suicide almost in every state due to poverty and agriculture losses, how they can maintain non-productive cows and how they can maintain the male progeny of cows? When you cannot feed your kids and your old parents how can you maintain Gaumata? You can’t unless you are a fanatic or you get something or hope for some bigger reward/ award for the act.
5. भारत की गौ-रक्षक एवं गौ-सेवक सरकार ने दो साल से गौशाला अनुदान बंद किया. The Cow Protector Government of India stopped funding for Gaushalas since last two years: Government policies are not in favour of Gaumata: It is hard to perceive and believe that Modi Government policies are against Gaumata. The reality is shocking:
a. Since the last two years no funding to Gaushalas. Most of the deaths in Gaushalas are reported in the last two years. It is evident from the following description and data got under RTI Act-2005.
b. Biased distribution of funds and schemes to Gaushalas: It is not difficult to prove from the published information that most of the funding is targeted funding. All Schemes of Department of Animal Husbandry Dairying and Fisheries (DAHDF) of Govt of India are running in Sabarmati Ashram Gaushala (DAHDF Annual Reports) with a major chunk of the allocations.
c. No-Punishment to those responsible for rampant and mass deaths of cows: In most of the cases deaths are reported in Gaushalas managed by a select group of people with “Dikhaawati Hindu Ideology” or in Gaushalas managed by the State thus there are little chances of any harsh action against defaulters. Everyone is clever enough to understand the outcome of relief to defaulters.
6. Fate of Desi Cow in India: May be available for worship in temples, can still be seen in several temples, the Gamata of carved stone which neither demand for food nor for water nor spoil the beauty of temples through Panchgavy and always standing beautifully and gracefully.
7. Panchgavy: Panchgavy is revered for ages in India and its benefits are well described in many of the Hindu texts. It means concoctum made from Milk, Curd (Dahi/ Yogurt), Ghee, Urine and Faeces of a cow. A recent trend has come up for re-invention of Panchgavy using modern scientific techniques and hardly any University in India is not doing the big or small project, there are funds for this. But how Panchgavy is related to cow deaths? Many of the Gaushalas are claiming the sale of Panchgavy, cow urine and other cow products and earning a lot. Moreover, Gaubhaktas have claimed in the Supreme Court of India that a non-productive cow is worth millions of rupees. Probably that unseen worth of cows made earlier government fund Gaushalas but the present government is quite vigilant and seen the worth of maintaining non-productive cows and thus stopped Gaushala funding since last two years and probably some fanatic Gaushala managements are killing the cows for getting maximum number of Golden eggs as soon as possible by the time others could see the Gold-mine, the Deshi Cow.
