Halal Muslim Import-Export at India Bangladesh Borders

Meat for everyone

Pashu Priya Goshalawww.pashupriyagoshala.org

Makeshift markets popped up across Dhaka on the evening of Eid-ul-Azha's first day on Tuesday where meat from animal sacrifice was sold.

Pashu Priya Goshalawww.pashupriyagoshala.org

Despite the fact that in Eid-ul-Azha as per Islamic rules, people give away one-third of the meat from sacrificial animals for the poor, these markets have emerged in Dhaka for two reasons.

The first is that those collecting meat from homes in the morning often do not have the means to store it for a long time and therefore sell most of it.

Bhai, koto?

The irony of the situation is most of us forget that the sole purpose of Eid-ul-Azha is about sacrifice, not posting photos of your purchased goru

Picture this. You are walking by the roadside, with a cow’s leash in your hand and the car that is driving past you rolls down its windows and asks: “Bhai, koto?” (Brother, how much?) Sound familiar? Most of you must have noticed the changing trend in Eid celebrations these days, especially amongst Dhaka-ites. While the first Eid is all about hanging out at the newly acclaimed ice-cream parlours, the other is about whose cow is the most expensive; it’s a generation, a culture – or more like an entire country – trying to show off their wallets, pretending to be something they are not.

The wrong kind of sacrifice

Pashu Priya Goshala

Eid-ul-Azha has become more about the price of our cattle than the extent of our sacrifice

Eid is an occasion to reconnect with our higher selves, the transcendent self that exists within us to connect with the celestial and to instill at least a fragment of that celestial order in our lives. Nonetheless, in contemporary Muslim society in urban Bangladesh, Eid-ul-Azha has evolved into a social festival — and less of a religious one — that provides the middle class and the upper class with an opportunity to aggrandise their self-esteem. The days preceding the Eid-ul-Azha become a podium for self-aggrandisement which is performed and established through the comparisons made among sacrificial animals.

Rivers of blood in Dhaka

Pouring rain coupled with animal sacrifices all over the city have created a strange and disturbing scene.

As forecast by the meteorological office, Eid morning on Tuesday began with shower that continued intermittently into the evening. Despite the pouring, Dhaka’s citizens went to say their Eid prayers in the morning and sacrificed their animals.
