Some more consequences of cow slaughter and resultant non-availability of dung in India:
Closure of Schools Imparting Experience-based Knowledge
In villages during winter, people used to make bonfire of dung cakes at night and sit around it talking.
The youth helped elderly persons who were suffering from arthritis related problems, by providing them fomentation from fire, and the elderly people used to talk about their own experiences in life, the family traditions, the social customs, the history of the village and thus pass on the rich experience and knowledge to succeeding generations.
The local poets used to sing our ancient epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata and thus kept alive the flow of culture in our society.
In the absence of dung cakes, these village square assemblies had to discontinue, and thus the young generation was deprived of the flow of knowledge and real history.
With the closure of such village square centers, the younger generation diverted itself and drifted to gambling dens and hooch shops.
One single animal, be it a cow, bullock or sheep, is much more valuable to the society compared to even a hospital or a college.
This is so because the cattle dung creates conditions as described earlier which inculcate into the people the qualities of nursing, organization, social service, passing on knowledge of real history, maintenance and development of religions, social and family feelings and preventing youths from drifting away to gambling dens and hooch.
Villages Also Fell Prey to Alcohol Addiction
Most of the widely prevalent diseases in villages are due to cold and imbalanced elements in the human body (known as Vayu) as also due to various injuries arising out of accidents.
In all such diseases, a major therapeutic procedure was fomentation by the dung cake fire.
The hot water bag fomentation is not available in villages for prevention from cold, cold related diseases and as protection against severe cold climate.
The only way for protection from this was the fire of dung cakes and when this was snatched away, people turned to alcohol…
They started applying alcohol on the body for heat and also started consuming alcohol, thus pushing up the demand for alcohol, and also increased the number of alcohol manufacturers and addicts.
Scarcity of Houses Increased
With non-availability of dung, the scarcity of houses in villages is more than 3 crores!
All the cement plants of the country together cannot meet this scarcity.
The easiest way out is to increase the availability of cattle dung.
