What is trending now in India?
Sita can’t live together with Akbar. ‘Save Sita’ is what VHP, the RW Hindu nationalists issued an alert in court.
They raised a complaint at the Kolkata court asking to restrain Sita, a 5-year-old lioness, from joining her old mate Akbar, who’s 7 now.
They were friends in Tripura Zoological park. And they are now shifted to Siluguri Safari Park in West Bengal for a purpose as noble as a project called ‘Lion Breeding in India’.
What’s the issue? Why shouldn’t the pair mate?
Sita, the name, is so popular among Hindus as she was the wife of Lord Rama according to Hindu mythology.
Akbar, as you know, was a Mogul emperor and ruled India in the 16th century. A ruthless ruler.
As the Hindus and Muslims continue to lock horns since Pakistan had separated from India post-Independence in 1948, this union is seen as a greater travesty.
People mostly belonging to the Hindu faith and belief are awaiting what the court is going to pronounce in the verdict.
Should the pair go ahead and procreate as the jungle law proposed, or should Sita not live in the midst of an Akbar who was once considered an anti-Hindu?
The King of the jungle stays single, till then. Poor chap!
‘Survival of the loneliest’ should have been the refrain of Darwinism, in India.
