Sheer Cruelty Poem by Gajanan Mishra

At Khairguda in Bolangir district of western Odisha, India in the name of religious values a large number of animals and birds are being slaughtered that shocked animal lovers and social activists while the Kandha community are observe their annual Sulia Jatra. The ritual of animal sacrifice continues amid the beats of Dhol, Madal, Nisan, Ghant and gini. The combined sound of these musical instruments is enough to suppress the yell and cry of the innocent animals.
