My Response:
The analogy is not bogus.
I was discussing the speeches by the Hindu spiritual leaders and
comparing these speeches with the speech of the Pope. In no way was I
comparing the Pope's speech with radical actions of "Hindutva"
politicians. Besides, I am only endorsing the parts that I think are
right...
Even
Savarkar said that the cow was just a useful animal and not a holy
animal. To me, the cow is as holy as the goat or the pig or any other
animal.
However, the demand is not a radical demand from the legal
standpoint because there are directive principles to that effect in
the Constitution of India and even the Courts have ruled in favour of
such bans.
*** The cow is a useful animal, like so many others. It is not "a holy
animal", as you yourself admit.
Then why to impose it on all? Is this democracy, secularism, pluralism?
Regards.
