Mr Modi had recently revealed that he knew the fact that some of the so called gau rakshaks were in fact anti-social elements and criminals. "I want to tell everybody to beware of these fake cow protectors. These handful of vigilantes have nothing to do with cow protection, but want to create tanaav' (tension) and takrav' (conflict) in our society," he had stated in a public meet.

Addressing a protest rally organised to condemn the PM's statement here, the Samithi's district president Vijay Kumar said that the cow protectors have been insulted by the PM. “Modi has called them anti-social elements. He has committed injustice by ordering action against cattle protectors who make up nearly 80% of the population in the country. The prime minister's opinion, which in turn, represents the government's view, is a major step towards luring the minorities,” he said.

He said the government's decision to take stringent action against cow vigilantes would end up in the increasing number of cases on cattle trafficking and slaughter. A majority of people are hurt by the decisions of the prime minister and the government in general, he said.

He said that cattle protectors put their lives in risk and involve in the task. Many times, the traffickers armed with deadly weapons and attack the people who stop them. Despite all odds, the people who believe in the religious sanctity of the cow, are carrying out a massive campaign, he claimed.

He demanded that the government, instead of reprimanding the protectors of the cattle, should take stringent action against the cattle traffickers and warn them.

Samithi leader Dinesh Nayak condemned prime minister for calling the caretakers of the cattle fake.'

He said Modi has a hidden agenda in the backdrop of the forthcoming polls in Uttar Pradesh. His statements insults the majority community in the country. There would be disastrous consequences as a result of prime minister remarks, he warned.

BJP is the main source of supporting the cheddis.
Your plans are weakening YOU and those who play with the rules of God will face such humiliation through your own evil plans.

Honest hindus should recognise this and voice out against the cheddis who is creating unrest in the society.

Cow smugglers, shut up!

Dear Our Gau Rakshak Brothers

First of all prove true religiously and scientifically do you say slogans to protect cows and not other animals.
A true religion always goes with science, it does not clash with science. In vedas, you can see Hindu Rshis have eaten and sacrificed cows, cattle.

If you have evidence against your claim, bring to the public and you will have support of not only all Indians and also you will have worldwide support. What version of Hinduism are you following.

Cows in India are less than 10% of cows in the whole world.
If you are truthful with your claims, prove the whole world that your claim of go rakshan is correct.
If you can prove, you will have reward from the God and also appreciation by the whole world.

Imposing and Bringing blind faith on others is your atrocity to others. You are indirectly forcing others to follow your blind faith, which is bad.

Simply if you don't want to eat beef, it is upto you,
Others are eating their cow. Not your cow.
Don't force others to follow you and stop their food.

Our fair Hindu brothers and sisters should raise concerns and stop their illiterate so called flag carriers of Hindu religion.

coastaldigest.com news network

February 23,2020

Mangalore University has been participating in the campus bird count a sub-event of ‘Great backyard bird count’ (GBBC) organized by Bird Count India for the past 5 years. This year, CBC was held from 14th to 17th February of 2020 across various campuses in India.

This year the four days event was successfully ended up with the sightings of 103 species of birds from various locations across the campus spread on 300 acres. In this Black Drongo, Black Kite, Brahminy Kite, Common Iora, Green Wabler, Purple-rumed Sunbird, Red-whiskered Bulbul, White-cheeked Barbet, Jungle Babbler and Plum headed parakeets were the common birds, and also observed House Crow with nest and nestlings, Indian Robin nest with eggs, Bronzed Drongo constructing the nest and Shikra mating and carrying nesting materials. Whereas Yellow-billed Babbler is rare in the campus, Ashy Drongo, Barn Swallow, Booted Eagle, Grey Wagtail, Indian Pitta etc. were migratory birds, Grey-headed Bulbul (Near Threatened bird), Rufous Babbler and Grey-headed Bulbul were Western Ghats Endemics and Brown Wood Owl, Barn Owl, Spotted Owlet, Nightjars (Savanna, Indian and Jerdon’s) and Sri Lanka Frogmouth were nocturnal birds. Blue-eared Kingfisher Grey-bellied Cuckoo which was very rare and new additions to avian list of the campus.

In the first year (2016) of Mangalore University’s CBC recorded 77 species, in 2017 recorded 95 species, in 2018 recorded 110 species and in 2019 recorded 107 species of birds. However some of the common species like Rose ringed parakeets, Blue tailed bee-eater, Nilgiri Flowerpecker and Indian roller etc., sighted last year were not seen this year. But with 2 new additions from this CBC, the checklist of Mangalore University Campus has been updated with a total of 141 species.

This event was coordinated by Vivek Hasyagar from the Department of Applied Zoology and Maxim Rodrigues from the Department of Marine Geology. Survey trails were led by more than 60 students and research scholars from various Departments of Mangalore University includes Applied Zoology, Biosciences, Microbiology, Botany, Physics, Chemistry and Material Science. In addition, some enthusiastic participants from St. Aloysius College had involved in identifying the birds around the campus.

Quote:

Wild/planned fire affects negatively on the existing ecologically sensitive areas in and around the campus especially in lateritic grasslands. Because many insectivorous birds are dependent on these lateritic grassland habitats for their food and breeding grounds for many ground dwelling birds like Yellow wattled lapwing, Red wattled lapwing, Indian Robin and Barred buttonquails. Conserving these habitats will be helpful in protecting these birds.

Quotes from the participants: “The Campus Bird Count 2020 at Mangalore University was an experience of its own kind. Observing birds in their natural habitat gave me new perspective of viewing them not only as another living being, but as equals, or even of higher intelligence. The Campus Bird Count is an important step towards documenting bird life year after year, and creating awareness amongst youngsters, so that proper conservation steps can be taken to protect them from human interference”.
