I
wonder why we have so less self esteem and always consider whatever that is
coming from the foreign lands to be the best, be it our obsession with fair
colour or our body types. We have become like western clones or should I call
CLOWNS.
The obsession with anything foreign has
gone to a limit that we pay hefty amounts to import a dog and keep it in the
best of conditions and try giving it an artificial temperate climate in a
tropical/sub tropical country. We need to understand that any breed takes generations
to adapt in a particular climate and its survival and health depends on its
adaptation. But still we adopt a St. Bernard/Husky in India. Isn't this
funny.
I hate it when people call our own
breed of Dogs as ROADSIDE. Why ??
Just because they are not fluffy or not
owned by a celebrity or they don't come with an exorbitant price tag or just
BECAUSE THEY ARE INDIAN.
The problem with us is that we are so
mentally colonised that we never value what we already have rather we keep
appreciating and accepting whatever the west tries to dump on us. The same can
be seen in our attitude towards the Indian breed of dogs.
They are as good as any other imported
breed of canine, we only need to train them and give them the same care and
importance. They are well adapted to Indian Climate and resist lot many
diseases to which the other breeds are prone. They are strong and extremely
alert. They are highly intelligent, easily
trainable and very easy to maintain.
Moreover, its not about which breed is superior or inferior rather its
about being proud of what belongs to us. At last, I would like to end by saying that
when you step outside next see the eyes of the same so called roadside dog, you
will find the same innocence. Just try feeding this dog for 3-4 days you will
see that he becomes faithful to you forever.
So, if you are a dog
lover like me and planning to adopt a dog try adopting Indian Pariah Breed, it
would not disappoint you.
