Honnavar, Feb 15: A white cow, which is revered as god by a section of local Hindus, turned violent and tried to gore a two-and-half-year-old child at Navilagon village in Honnavar taluk of Daishina Kannada.

The eight-year-old sister of the child managed to rescue the latter. They are the children of Kiran Shet, an LIC adviser and jeweller. The incident which took place on Tuesday was captured by a CC camera attached to their father’s jewellery shop. The footage is now going viral on social media.

Arati (8) was playing with her youngest brother Kartik in front of her house. Kartik was sitting on a tricycle and Arati was pushing it when a cow came running towards them.

As the cow appeared to go for the child, Arati picked him up and ran towards a corner. The cow followed, its horns coming tantalisingly close to the boy. Kartik seemed to be slipping but Arati held onto him tightly and quickly turned towards the wall, her back to the cow. The angry cow tried to gore her and she screamed.

As her family members rushed out and chased the cow, Arati took Kartik inside and secured him. “I had no time to think. At that moment, my only aim was to save my brother. Thank God, he escaped unhurt,” Arati said. “Had Aarati not applied her mind, Kartik’s life would have been in danger,” said their mother Asha after watching CCTV footage.

THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO SLAUGHTER THE COW AND ROAST IT TO KABAB

She should be held responsible for this heinous crime. She should undergo trial for this crime. No bail should be given for going against the wish of Gau Matha

Saffrons having cow dung instead of their brain i guess.

Should punish the girl with president's medal as she stood against that shitty cow..!

Qualification for being a Bhakt is brainless action and 100% foolishness. They will treat cow as sacred life and girls as worthless thing

True.. Feku should take immediate action against those ANTI NATIONALS. They did against our maata

If gau mata wanted to kill or harm that boy then nobody should stop that. Will you stop or go against God's decision??? Should punish those people who stop gau maata's decision.

Is that girl an anti-national? She gave priority to the life of a child than to the desire of a gau maata!

"Brahmins-Only" Toilet's Signage Removed From Kerala Temple after Outrage

News Network

March 7,2020

Thrissur, Mar 7: A local temple in Kerala is at the centre of a social media storm after the picture of a ''Brahmins-only toilet'' outside its main campus went viral on online platforms, prompting the management to remove the signboard.

The picture of three toilets, with signboards showing "Men", "Women" and "Brahmins", at the Kuttumukku Mahadeva Temple in Thrissur, has gone viral with many social media users viewing it as an unethical practise that can portray the progressive state in a bad light.

However, temple officials said the toilets were located outside the main campus and the board was brought to their notice only now.

Kannan, an official of the temple committee, said the board was placed nearly two decades ago and nobody raised any complaint against it so far.

"That particular toilet was being used by priests and other temple employees. We didn't even notice that board... As soon as we came to know about it, we removed it and affixed a staff-only board," he told PTI.

Also a CPI-M functionary and ward councillor, Kannan said the shrine and it's management was against all kinds of unethical customs.

The temple official said they were planning to pursue legal measures against the man who posted the photo of the toilets on social media.

"We suspect that he did it deliberately to create issues during the time of the festival and to tarnish the shrine's reputation. Not only that, the photo he shared was an old one though he claimed that it was taken during the time of the festival, " he said.
