	Description:		First, we talk to The Indian Express’ Alind Chauhan about Mumbai’s decision to stop pigeon feeding at public Kabutarkhanas and the health risks linked to pigeon droppings, and why the move has sparked resistance from the Jain community and animal rights activists. Next, we head to Goa, where The Indian Express’ Pavneet Singh Chhada explains the push for legalisation of bull fighting, locally known as dhirio, its cultural roots of this practice, and why enforcement has failed to stop it from continuing in secret. (16:17) And in the end, we look at a protest in Maharashtra, where members of the Qureshi community have gone on strike over alleged harassment by cow vigilantes. (25:18) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
