Owais Mughal



The photo, by Farhan Khan, shows sacrificial animals being brought to a market in Latifabad, Hyderabad for upcoming Eid-ul-Azha.

I do have a question: Why would one name an ox or a cow as kabootar (pigeon)?

    Looks like an ideal candidate for “Horse and Cattle Show.”

    I have never understood why people name one animal the name of another…

    what trauma the poor animal must go throgh

    Like calling a cow a “kabootar” or (and I have seen this) calling a Dog, “Tiger”….

    yaar, they have a tough enough life now why confuse them!
