Hindutva leaders are human beings, a real tattle
but opportunistically they’re attached more to cattle
minorities’ lives are absolutely unimportant to them
but they consider cattle’s existence a precious gem

Modi regime has one more feather to its cap blotter
because now it wants to save cattle from slaughter
Malegaon police has a novel way to enforce laws
with the help of cow “mugshots” and legal paws

Modi’s concern for farmers is visible from his word armors
and so he should order police for mugshots of farmers
he should advise Hindu militants to be humanitarians
only when that stage is reached, to become cattleitarians
