AGARTALA, Oct 22 (TIWN): Inhumane traditions of “Sacrificing Animals” to satisfy the mad minds of a group of people in the name of pleasing the Gods continue all over the society, which has blooded Tripura’s soil during Durga Puja 2015 too. Huge gathering of crowds with joyous cheers followed in Communist ruled State Tripura to observe the sacrifice of buffalos in various prominent temples. Although being a part of communism, some of the Tripura Ministers try to boost themselves as anti-religion or beyond all superstations, but religious dogmatisms are as same here as primitive cultures here in Tripura. Although every year there are so many essay, debate competitions are held by the Tripura govt.’s Education Dept. to motivate the students to come out of the superstitions of religion but in reality no step is ever taken to wipe out the barbaric traditions over there for the sake of vote banks. Moreover, A large number of animals, including buffalo, goats and pigeons are sacrificed in the Tripura temples - all on government expense.

Although in Sep 2014, A court in remote northern India had banned a long tradition of sacrificing animals for religious reasons, deeming the practice cruel and "barbaric", but in a state like Tripura such a step is yet been to be taken. Also in High Court of Himachal Pradesh had asked police and other officials to enforce its ban on the slaughter of mainly goats in Hindu temples throughout the state. The court on that day also questioned the reasons for animal sacrifices, saying such rituals "must change in the modern era".

However, the so-called civilized society in this 2nd Decade of the 21st Century and Tripura CM wants to transform Agartala into a smart city,  although such rituals & practices Tripura  projecting the primitive barbaric culture for mere spending time in the alter of God-hood.

Tripura’s Govt. via administrative departments in Temples and without doing nothing to stop this practice, it is providing funds to these temples for Sacrifice of Innocent Creatures such as, Tripureswari Temple, Chaturdash Debatabari Temple, Durgabari Temple.

There are other alternatives of religious mission found in Ramakrishna Math, Ishkan and similar places which really meant religion as the door to peace, but not practicing inhuman and barbaric activities.

It’s to be mentioned here that on October 15, 1949, the erstwhile princely state of Tripura merged with India through an agreement signed between Kanchan Prabha Devi, then regent maharani, and the governor general of India. The agreement made it obligatory for the Tripura government to continue the sponsorship of temples run earlier by Hindu rulers. And it continues till this date.
