Re: Purani Bandooqen, Purani Talwaren
in India, my bro tells me, hunting by common man [only Muslims] was common. men used to go almost on every weekend and the kids would follow them…these hunting trips were aimed at shooting large birds [Russian migratory birds {mostly surKhaab (geese)} on river Ganges in winter]…large animals like neel gaaye [blue cow] was prohibited by law but Muslims hunted them on the request from local farmers…they are a menace to farmers…they graze on standing crops. i’ve been to several such trips [when the tradition was almost dying]people still hunt but not that frequently.
