This is a news flash from rainy Ranikhet, from RUKUN ADVANI of Permanent Black.
Balbir Punj owns a hotel called ‘Windsor Lodge’ on Ranikhet’s outskirts. (When it comes to personal money-making, BJP ideologues seem to have no problems naming their properties after the Queen of England.) Last week Punj came to his Lodge and went to the Kalika temple opposite the property. He did not notice a large bull there, but the bull noticed him: it charged straight for him and before Punj knew what was happening he had been thrown up in the air and gouged in the front. His arm is now in a sling. It being specially embarrassing for a BJP Hindu to be thus cast aside by a cow, Punj has been desperately downplaying his injuries. However, he asked Khanduri to immediately pen the bull, and the bull has been removed from the Kalika temple.

And such is the wrath of Nandi that Khanduri has also been removed! The times are bad for god’s own party

Well, now what about the bull figuring in my short story ‘Warren Hastings Bull’. The bull in the fiction was certainly ‘anti-colonial’ and had a pinch of ‘religious-nationalism’ somewhere critics discovered and I was blamed for it. But this ‘Nandi’ of Ranikhet, without any iota of doubt is staunch ‘anti-communal’.
I personally feel that the God and His pets all are secular if they are freed from the communal fanatics.
Very refreshing report.
