I must say, even if I do like Salman Khan a lil bit, that I am very happy with the verdict of him being jailed for 5 years.. goes to show that nobody's above the law and no will be spared the rod, should any kind of murder (human or animal) be committed...
I am only wishing that along with him, the other filmstars and people who were with him, should be charged against too... And not to mention also the other few celebs, like the Nawab of Pataudi, who have killed rampantly and are still footloose...
The black buck and the chinkaras happen to be two of the rare species in India on the verge of extinction...as is the Tiger... yea, you heard right! I said 'Tiger'... our national animal! Kuch samjhe???

Am reading a delightful book called "The Age of Kali: Indian Travels & Encounters" by William Dalrymple...a compilation of factual essays that is not only a record but also a personal keen insight to the dramatic and often violent changes that have taken place on the Indian subcontinent within the past decade that is leading the country into the Kalyug...
The book is very observant and neutral, if not bordering on a deep love and understanding for India...and ambles along the ancient and new cultures and mindsets with aplomb... W.D is certainly passionate about the nation, not withstanding his trysts with the black side of it...
A must-read for every literate Indian... and by Indian I mean those who have been born/ migrated/living/lived in India or who have ancestors from the country...
