MUSLIM LION AND HINDU LIONESS
According to a report in Malayala Manorama a case is filed in the Kolkata High Court by Vishwa Hindu Parishad pleading to separate a pair of Lions kept together in a Zoo. The reason shown is that the lion holds the name Akbar and the lioness the name Sita. According to the complainant the male lion is a Muslim and the female one is a pure Hindu! It is surprising to see that animals too are brought under the colour of religion.
When politics is entered into religion animals too are falling under religion. When human concepts of God, the faith in the Supreme One and the system of worship are elaborated and brought into an ideology it may be called as a religion. And how animals can be brought under this circle is beyond imagination. Mixing too much of politics into religion one gets something like intoxication and that is what happened in the demand of separation of lions. There may be a good number political theologians to support the demand of the people who have gone to the court!
