		<description><![CDATA[The BJP revers the Cow as deity, so why is it kicking around when Tharoor compares people to cattle, asks B V Rao]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By B V Rao</strong><br />
The BJP&#8217;s Madhya Pradesh chief minister is also angry with Twitter Minister Shashi Tharoor.  He has said that Tharoor has no right to be a minister. &#8220;I believe that in a democracy people are God. To refer to them as Cattle is an insult to them. And I believe such a person has no right to be a union minister,&#8221; he said (The Hindu/PTI).</p>
<p>Shivraj says People are God. One of the BJP&#8217;s core beliefs (there are many floating around these days) is that the Cow is also God. And Tharoor says People are Cattle. So look at the situation we have on our hands: People are God. Cow is God. But Cow is Cattle, too, and Cattle are People as well. By this simple equation People are Cattle too and everybody is God. (Childhood math: If X=Y and X=Z, then Y=Z)<span id="more-135"></span><br />
So which God is insulting which God when Tharoor compares People to Cattle? The People God or the Cattle God?</p>
<blockquote><p>If People Gods have a problem with comparisons to Cattle God, don&#8217;t we need to check how the Cattle Gods are feeling about their comparison to People Gods? I mean, just because one God can&#8217;t talk more than to moo and the other God just can&#8217;t stop talking to say nothing moo-ch either, should we assume that Cattle is less godly?</p>
<p>Ok, let&#8217;s not confuse a partyman brought up on ideology with science, considering that mathematics has never been a matter of priority in the RSS&#8217;s book of knowledge. But why can&#8217;t Shivraj understand English? Tharoor also said he is &#8220;in solidarity with the Holy Cows&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>How can the BJP have a problem with a Congressman calling the Cow Holy?<br />
Unless he is suggesting that Tharoor&#8217;s rightful place is in the Cow-worshipping BJP, I don&#8217;t see why Shivraj wants him out of the government. Or does he think nobody else has the right to milk the Cow?<br />
Just what is your problem Mr Shivraj?</p>
<p>(Of course, I might well ask the same question of Ms Jayanti Natarajan, too.)</p>
