In Kerala, Kunnathunadu, Kothamangalam and Muvattupuzha, three
taluks of Ernakulam district experienced a shutdown this wednesday,
as a result of the inhumane slaughtering of an innocent and
pregnant cow. Three individuals belonging to the local Muslim
community slit the cow’s throat inside the compound of the Sree
Dharma Sastha. The shutdown began after local Hindu organizations
protested against the merciless act of the cow slaughtering.
After the incident, police managed to get hold of the three
culprits, Muhammad 49, his son Anas 23 and another male by the name
of Razid 18. Of the three one person managed to escape from police
custody. A member of the Sree Dharma Sastha Temple believes that
the slaughter was performed to create tension and trouble amongst
the nearby residing community rather than for meat. According to
him, had the culprits wanted meat they would have simply stolen the
cow rather than slaughter it in such a painful manner right in the
temple premise. Based on this information, the individual believes
that it was a hate crime against Hindus to stir up chaos. As per
previous police reports, the surrounding area has been subject to a
rise in Islamist activity lately. Just 25 km away from the area, on
July 4, 2010, activists of an extremist Muslim organization had cut
off the arm of a Christian university professor alleging that he
had blasphemed Prophet Muhammad in a test paper question.
The three men had approached the Hindu temple in disguise of men
who had medication for the cow. Once getting into the temple where
the cow was, the men barricaded the area with plastic wrap before
slitting the cow’s throat and finding a Moulvi from a nearby
village to chant prayers that were mandatory after the slitting of
throat according to common Islamic practices. As news spread of the
atrocious act, members from nearby Hindu activist groups as well as
from the Sangh Pariwar were outraged and rushed to the temple. At
the same time, Muslim supporters of the killing of the cow also
gathered near the Hindu temple creating a scene of tension, which
could escalate to greater trouble.
Protesters gathered and the tension lasted for several hours
because protestors were not allowing police to take the culprits
and cow carcass away. Once the police, carcass and three
individuals were out of the scene, several demonstrations were held
thereafter with clashes between Hindu supporters disapproval of the
slaughter and Muslim supporters justification for killing the cow
in the Hindu temple premise.
Kerala is currently ruled by a coalition government of
Congress and Muslim league which came into power defeating narrowly
the Communists. The state has barely 50% Hindu population, the
others being Muslims and Christians.
