What does any of this history or geography have to do with stray dogs multiplying out if control, biting people and causing havoc on the streets? No one is banning dogs. You are welcome to agitate and push for better shelters and spay/neutering work and treating the remaining dogs humanely. This emotional blackmail is useless and a privilege of if the upper class who drive past the street dogs and occasionally run them over
Dilemma of social justice warriors regarding _Dharma_ : choice between dog and Eklavya
Verses 19 and 20, chapter 123 of _Adi Parva, Mahabharata_ (critical edition) tells us that when the dog lover Pandavas encountered Eklavya the Shudra tribal boy for the first time, Pandava’s dog was shot by 7 arrows in its mouth by Eklavya. We don’t know if that dog sustained the injuries or died (which he probably did) . The moral dilemma of social justice warriors should be of choosing between the young tribal boy who was denied education by a cruel casteist Brahmana and the poor innocent dog of Yudhishthira. As mentioned in the article, Yudhishthira was extremely fond of dogs. Now the SJW need to decide which side to take – between the dog who is the ultimate symbol of _Dharma_ , or the oppressed tribal boy who is killing this symbol of _Dharma_.

Thank you Prof. R. Mahalakshmi for bringing out the historical connection with dogs, apart from cows who are popularised more as a sacred in religious domain. Many conceptions are there about dog that has framed them negatively causing ritual impurity. Your personal story about Golu is heartwhelming which many of us pet-lovers particularly dog livers can relate to. I hope this article gets widely circulated and brings out new perspective about how people treat dogs. judicial judgement has shown how human-made social hierarchies and it’s prejudices are imposed on animals. It’s human who is deciding over who can be pet and who are left on streets. Discrimination in treatment can be noticed easily. I hope every dogs, regardless of their breed should be loved and taken care of because getting bites either from strays which people love to refer street dogs or from homely ones are to be treated equally. Love to read your article with many historical evidences.
