I just remembered that today is International Meatless Day!! It is Sadhu Vaswani's birthday today. I studied in Sadhu Vaswani School till class8 and I have very fond memories of it. I remember we took out rallys on road to create awareness among the mass about this day. We got pledge forms from school, on which we took signatures from individuals and making them pledge that they will not eat non-vegetarian food at least on 25th November. Four state governments in India - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh - have issued instructions for the closure of slaughter-houses as well as butchers' shops on 25th November every year, in their respective states.
