Just look at that, these people called "bishnoi" cared for over 500 years about nature and environment, they even fucking stood up against a king and let themselves slaughtered for Trees the king wanted to cut down.
Even today after 500 years of practicing they still hunt down poachers and illegal wood cutters, rescue every animal they see and are 100% vegetarian.

The more i learn about India the more sad and happy i get, it seems to me that it had/has one and is one of the most enlightened countries in terms of spirituality. They basically invented the most peaceful paths of life humans ever created, like buddhism or in this case the 29 rules of the Bishnoi.

Why is it that India was such an beacon in terms of Philosophy and Spirituality? Looking at it today after the colonisation it seems to has lost a lot of it. We shouldn't be so hard on the poos, because a country of over a billion people has a lot of different aspects we should consider and try to remember and preserve, like the bishnoi people.
I think we should learn from them.

Also i can really recommend a book about the destructiveness from different societies there was a study about 30 primitive societies, not the bishnois tho, but it was interesting, this guy analysed over 30 primitive cultures around the world and put them into 3 categories. Peaceful live loving, neutral aggressive, and destructive

I think it was this book from Erich from https://www.amazon.de/Anatomy-Human-Destructiveness-Erich-Fromm/dp/0712674896
