Interesting day, i was at a mate's place for a small halloween party/get together when i get a phone call from my area police station tell me to show up asap. Seated there were 3 other guys from my locality whom ive known for the past 2 months.
A brief summary of what happened earlier in the day without my knowledge. There is this new swaami/priest on the block in new delhi these days who apparently has earned quite a rep in a short amount of time. This dude's rep suddenly blew up in the past couple of months for his promotion of vegan life (strictly for religious reasons) and at the same time being secular. Now, guys like me have no idea who the fuck this swaami is coz we dont give a shit about issues he and his cult deals with. Anyways in most of india it is illegal to kill/eat/sacrifice/sell for meat/buy for meat/or anything that leads to a killing of a cow and a bull because for some people a cow is their mother and a bull their father.
Now this swaami brings in a new fatwa, he somehow relates the camel to his and his religious peep's families as well and drags out this huge protests and demonstrations about banning on sale of camel meat or sacfirice or etc. Now on Eid, me and these 3 other guys decided to get a camel instead of the regular goat or a cow and we did. Now seeing that some others decided on getting a camel too, it took them 4 days to arrange one. Swaami gets the news that there is a camel at xyz place and its gonna be killed for its meat tomorrow. He decides to be a hero and picks up a couple of his followers, gets dressed in his robe, enters this butcher dominated area and unbinds the camel and takes it away like he owned it all his life, being cool and casual like james bond. The camel owner saw that, had no idea who this retard is and they thought its a thief, so he got lit up all proper by a mob in a typical fashion thiefs are usually dealt with in india. He lost 4 teeth.
Now the cops arrive and save him, arrest the guys who lit them up and the owners of the camel. The cops interrogated and informed them its not wise to sacrifice a camel when the swaami is throwing a religious tantrum, then the swaami found out someone already butchered a camel in delhi. That would be me and my 4 others partners.
So i get a call, called in the police station and let off with a warning that camel meat, sale/purchase/consume, is illegal in the Capital and we wont do it again. And the new rule was constructed just in day.
The camel owners were given bail and their camel back on the condition that they give it in writing that the camel is a pet and will not be killed. They did do that but i think everyone from the cops to the beat up guy knew first thing tomorrow that camel will be put down and meat will be served.
What a fucked up country.
