The Death of Ahimsa: From massacres to the criminalization of kindness
Jan 27, 2026India is often called "the land of Ahimsa", yet the reality on the ground tells a far darker story.

It is confronting a profound crisis of conscience. The question today is no longer how we manage animals, but whether we have any humanity left to offer them.
