There is a rabid dog on the loose. Kill him or cage him.

I choose not to even mention the person referred to in the title, as this blog should in no way give him an ounce of mileage.I would quickly breeze you through some facts and try to awaken anyone who reads this, because we as a nation need to wake up not only against terrorists from Pakistan, but more dangerous are the terrorists and evil element functioning inside our own country. These elements are killing us from inside.

It is sad that any one can threaten the whole public through multiple mediums and unleash terror across the nation and can still get away with things. I didnt know the law of the land of the worlds largest democracy is so frivolous.

Alcohol consumption and ancient India (yes women too..read on)


Woman With Wine - Ancient Depiction

Shastras (applied science treatises) sculptures, literary works, wall-paintings and inscriptions bear witness that drinking was quite common in several communities and on certain occasions, the Kannada Kavyas (literary masterpieces) give picturesque description of drinking rituals, modes and practices.Karnataka is homeland of a variety of tasty and well flavored indigenous alcohols and liquors.Sculptures and Kavyas depict drunkards and drinking scenes, attesting thereby that drinking was fairly prevalent and provided necessary amusement and essential relief.Drinking was undertaken leisurely.



Goddess of wine (Madhudevate)-(please note its a GODDESS and not GOD) was invoked and the Mother Earth was propitiated.Drops of liquor were put on the head (as mark of respect). Then it was poured into artistically shaped bowls with bird heads and carved from mother pearls, beautiful shells etc. and offered to elders. Then it was turn of youngsters to help themselves.

Lovers, married couples, family members, friends and relatives joined in drinking bouts. Drinking among women along with gossip was common

. Various snacks were consumed in between roast meat, onion bondas, fried gram etc.
The dialogues which follow are quite colorful:
"Drink, the celestial beauty!
Drink my golden doll,
Drink the moon-faced, curly haired mate"
The lover made his beloved drink and women who got intoxicated quickly forced made their boyfriends gulp down more and more by words:
"Drink my heartthrob,
Drink the civilized one,
Drink my Handsome.
I can't go on if you stop!"


Sculptural Evidence


Besotted women who lost control over their body and dress had to be carried off are depicted. Classics provide vivid description of such scenes:





The basic difference regarding drinking among Indians and Western world is clear. For Indians it is amusement (Vihara or Kirda), for westerners, it is part of food (ahara) in moderation.This clearly indicate that westerners are more balanced and mature in handling alchohol.Their climatic conditions and food habits drive their consumption of alchohol.
A sculpture of about 578 A.D. in the III cave Badami (map - pictures) depicts an *inebriated young man lecturing on temperance!
*Three couples have forgotten themselves over glasses of goblet when two servants are ready at hand to fill them again.
*In another panel two women are sipping toddy amidst chattering.
*Kolaramma, the presiding deity at a Kolar (map - pictures) temple (pictures) was a *Shakti Goddess, and wine and meat were essential ingredients in the Shakti worship.
*An inscription of the place mentions grant to mattiya pana on intoxicating drink.
*Even the deity holds a goblet in her hand.
*Khetappayya Narayana in Bhatkal temple (article) has sculpture of drinking couple



If we deep dive more we can find more ancient practices which prevailed in India where women had the freedom to drink and do what ever they wanted to.

The point is my friends, not to encourage alchohol consumption or moral degradation.Any damn sena out there who call their heinous act as "curative violence", please feel free to use against female foeticide, atrocities against women,child marriage,corruption in the society,global warming etc etc. And lawyers and members of judiciary system, these gundas are threatening the entire society, don't tell me there is no clause in our legal system to take action against them.
