Animal Farm is one of the two greatest works of George Orwell, the other being 1984. Animal Farm makes satirical allegories of the totalitarian communism of Soviet Russia. The novel is regarded as one of the all-time bests ever written by any author.

Animal Farm is a novel of betrayed revolution. It presents the corruption that followed the revolution led by Lenin.

In Animal Farm, the characters are animals and human beings. Among the animals, many of them are pigs, who are more often than not rulers. Apart from pigs, we see three main horses, a donkey, a goat, some puppies, rats, the sheep (plural number), a raven, a cat and hens.

The animals are more allegorical than real. The interpretation of the meanings is often left to the reader, but generally the consensus is that they represent different classes. Again, the humans represent another class. Thus, the novel demonstrates …

Nevertheless, that also branched off into a parallel discussion about the mother nature of perception.

When the South African politician and anti-Apartheid activist Tony Yengeni’s family engaged in ritual slaughtering for a traditional cleansing ceremony it sparked a lot of controversy concerning animal rights and cultural practices.

The practice of ritual slaughter originates surprisingly from Greece. Certain gods were offered sacrifices in the form of animal sacrifices for the purpose of appeasing those gods seeking counsel and blessings. The practice made its way to Rome and was further evidenced in the Bible by the children of Israel.

In today’s context, ritual slaughter has remained dominant in African cultures all over the continent. It has become a large part of cultural identity and participation. What do you say to a community of people whose culture is deeply rooted and defined by their acknowledgement of the ‘spiritual’ world (spiritual world in this context denoting ancestral world) through the ritual slaughter of animals?

“Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow-creatures is amusing in itself. ” – James Anthony Froude, Oceana, 1886

The differences between Homo sapiens and other animals are legion, but evolution teaches us that we are at a fundamental level bound by profound similarities.

Any practice that fails to respect the rights of these animals is wrong irrespective of human need, context or culture. The Hindu religion has enshrined respect for nature in three basic elements viz. faith in God, non-dualistic view of Purush and Prakriti and a set of rules for duties and worship. Animals and birds are thought not only as Vahanas or Vehicles on which …
