Haridwar Ganga Ghat Row: Woman’s Dog Bath Video Sparks Backlash

[Raghav]

[Harini]

I don't get why a dog taking a dip in the Ganga ghat is an issue. What if it were a cow?

[Madhav]

This is an abomination! We should only throw or wash humans, our waste, garbage, cows and factory toxins in 'Maa' Ganga.

[Prem]

Kutte ne kya paap kiya ki Ganga mein nilana pada?

[Sarika]

A lot of people in India dislike dogs. I've been physically assaulted and even illegally arrested many times for walking my dog in a public park.

[Sharmila]

People who oppose an animal taking a dip at our holy ghats often lack proper knowledge of Sanatan Dharma.

[Prem]

Pashupatinath is the lord of all animals. Why is it wrong? I agree they should have taken the dog to a more secluded spot so others aren't upset.

[Umesh]

She could have brought a bucket instead; we need to respect others, especially in a public place like this. No one wants to bathe next to a dog—would she be allowed to do the same at a swimming pool? She'd be kicked out instantly. Let's be civil and use common sense. If one person brings their dog into the river, soon everyone will, and people scared of dogs or allergic to pets will suffer.

[Aravind]

This is so irresponsible of the pet owner! How dare she do that? The dog has no idea how polluted the water is; she should be charged with animal cruelty.

[Aditya]

Ganga Maiya aakar bolti hai ki doggy ko nehlaoge toh woh gussa ho jaayegi? Ajeeb chutiypa hai desh mein.
