Now here is a story from March, that must have caught Ambika Shukla's
attention.
The Indian cricket skipper celebrated his Australia win by .. what else...
sacrificing a goat!

PETA's response was basically a slap on the wrist, and there was no mention
of Shukla or any other big shot. But she did sign some online petition:

4:15 am PDT, Mar 16, Ambika Shukla, India
Dhoni should be ashamed of himself. As a young supposedly educated and
progressive person, he should certainly not be participating in a primitive
, cruel and illegal practice. He needs to be severely punished and made to
apologise to the whole nation.

)

Rather tepid, ain't it? No punishment spelled out clearly, no getting the
public all worked up.
Heck, after all, it is the Indian cricket captain, and not some
damn foreign-looking, uncivilized, imbecil of a student from the North East.

And not even some hot-shot Delhi socialite has the guts to go that far.

Could she dare suggest to take away Dhoni's college degrees? And why not go
a bit further, she could  try and strip Dhoni of all his medals, and
trophies?

But then, I'm not holding my breath!
