The exemplary courage of the Acharya family

 

By : Ms. Kuhu Roy

 

This is the story of the case of Mr. Niranjan Acharya, his married sister, her

husband and their two children, who live in Narayan Nagar, Street no. 1, near

Gayatri Nagar , Rajkot. They are a family of dog lovers and feed the 5-6

community dogs of their area.

 

On 4.11.09, a mob of around 200 persons gathered outside their home. They

demanded the feeding of dogs to be stopped. They tore the T-shirt of Niranjan’s

brother -in -law and poured kerosene on the whole family. Niranjan dialed 100

for help, but it did not arrive. Then he phoned the Police Commissioner. Soon

after that, the mobile police van came and they tried to solve the matter there

itself. As no agreement could be reached, the mob and the Acharya family went to

the police station. There Niranjan filed an FIR and the mob too filed an FIR

against him.

 

Then on 10.11.09, the same members of the mob instigated the residents of a

nearby Muslim colony and a crowd comprising of 25-30 Muslims arrived at

Niranjan’s house. They showered expletives and threw stones. Again 100 was

dialed and when the police came, the crowd went away. The police did not arrest

anyone.

 

Then the Acharya family went to meet the Police Commissioner and filed a written

complaint that their Hindu neighbors were trying to disrupt the communal harmony

and break the unity of Hindu-Muslims by bringing a religious angle to the whole

issue. They also faxed a copy of the complaint to the Home Minister and the DGP.

 

After that, the women neighbors threatened the male members of Niranjan’s family

that if they do not stop feeding the dogs, they will make charges of sexual

offences against them, to get them arrested.

 

Just two days back, the neighbors again hit the dogs and threatened “Dekh

lenge”. People wielding sticks, now block one end of the street while on the

other end; they stand armed with stones to hit the dogs. They have also said

that they will give poison laddus to the dogs.

 

He says the family is under extreme mental pressure. There is the question of

their physical security too. They are unable to bear the pain and sufferings of

their dogs any longer. They are planning to give an application to the police to

inform that they are planning a fast unto death or he said all of them will

commit mass suicide. My mother rebuked him for harboring such horrible idea and

has asked him to desist from taking any drastic step.

 

Please pray for Niranjan and his family and their dogs. They are fighting tooth

and nail for their dogs. they are not ready to leave their dogs despite threats

to their own selves. This family has proved that humans can also be faithful and

loyal to the dogs.Hats off to their courage.

 

If this story has made you proud of this man, please call him and show your

support. I will be grateful to all of you.

I feel to get out of such problem, the dog feeding should be stopped. The

dogs did ring the bell of this family to say please feed me. Showing

public affection to animals by feeding the dogs which lead into such

situation - my 11 years experience says.

 

If the family really cares animals, then they should STOP feeding at least the

matter gets solved or becomes cool.

 

I am sorry if I am rude but in all this context or human conflict the poor dogs

will suffer at the end. It is very easy to beat them or kill them.

I suspect there is a lot more to this story then has been told. I doubt

anyone is being persecuted for feeding community dogs. I see the practice

everyday on walks with my own dog; packs of dogs lazing about in the sun in

front of their favourite meat shop or open air cold store, and no human

taking any notice at all. It’s really hard to imagine someone getting doused

with kerosene over the practice, although I can imagine the dogs themselves

being burnt alive for pestering a shopkeeper. But the dogs themselves are

smart enough to go hang out where it’s relatively safe, and will just move

on if things get too hot. Family feuds in this part of the world are common,

and can be started over something as minor as a wall built centimetres over

someone else’s property or a motorbike ding. To take one of these feuds and

make an animal issue over it, or even a religious one, seems wrong.

Yes. ideed this story has made me proud and so shall such incidents like

that of Mr. Niranjan and family will be held high above as models for others

to follow.

 

What is shameful that NO 'Animal Welfare Organisation' or any 'Qualified

Individual in Animal Rights/ Laws' has come forward to lodge an FIR and book

the anti-socials.

 

I wish I could make a thousand clones of Smt Maneka Gandhi and plant them

throughout the country.

 

We animal people are a sick lot if we cannot fight for animal rights, and

make excuses instead.

 

Do not we have anyone in Rajkot??

 

Such incidents have been dealt with FIRMLY in the city where I live-

Guwahati.

 

In the lastest incident with the support of the local magistrate and the

police, I was able to beat the @$#% out of a section of lunatics who were

terrorising homeless dogs in a locality, infact they event brutally murdered

one such dog.

But now things have changed after action was initiated against the

offenders.

 

Remember there are anti-scials in every nook and corner blowing trouble for

not only animals but for mankind as well.

 

Give them what they deserve and win the battle !!

 

Atleast our laws are much much STRONGER than most of the Animal People alive
