Who are Bishnois and what really happened? | Hyper Quest Podcast Ft. Anu Lall

For 550 years, the Bishnoi have lived by 29 rules to protect nature. Lawyer and author Anu Lall spent two and a half years uncovering this world, starting with the blackbuck poaching case at Jodhpur High Court. Her book Bishnois and the Blackbuck explores its roots in Sanatan Dharma. After 20+ years in pharma and technology, she asks what it can teach us today. We asked her: ◼ Why would someone be willing to die for a tree? ◼ What actually happened in the blackbuck poaching case, and where does Lawrence Bishnoi fit? ◼ Bishnoi women wear heavy gold, and gold mining destroys the environment. Is that not a contradiction? ◼ Europe has less pollution, so why should we doubt the Western lens? ◼ If Sanatan dharma is environment friendly, why do we burn wood to cremate? __________________________________ 🕉️ Admission is open for our Gita Kids Program!
