Can Restaurants in India Legally Serve Beef?

You would be surprised to read the following:

In Canada:

Dog meat legal, health inspector says - CBC News

In Taiwan and China:

Taiwan law takes bite out of dog meat sales | Reuters

Cat and dog meat could soon be off the menu in China as first animal abuse law edges closer | Mail Online

So while dog meat is legal in the west, it is being banned where it originated as a delicacy in the first place. Is the world turning upside down, or what?

.........while some of us are still stuck promoting the rights of dog eaters in western countries.

Eating beef is not against hinduism, i have yet to see concrete proof where it says eating beef is "haram" without any paradoxical quote in ancient scriptures.

Good question. In a similar vein what gives the majority a right to deny the right to public fornication, an act enjoyed by a minority ? what gives the majority a right to deny abortion, euthanasia etc ? why is hate speech not allowed ?

Before chastising Hindus, I have to applaud the Hindu majority for making India a republic.

In a nation like India, where 80% of Indians are Hindus, then as per democracy, the will of majority is supreme, and can trample the rights of minorities. However, by making India a republic, the rights of minorities have been preserved and the supremaacy of mobocracy has been curtailed.

Banning cow slaughter - is a right demanded by the majority, which the minorities have acquiesced too, in return the majority has allowed the minorities to practise what they deem fit.

Der Fuhrer does not mean Hitler my friend.

It means exactly what it means in German.

Since you fly the flag of Germany, I will refrain from telling you what it exactly means.

If I put the Swastaka, it does not make me a Nazi. It is merely an Indian good luck signs as it is in many other civiliisation including European, in case you did not know!

There are many in the West who feel Halocaust never happened including a Bishop from the Church!




In India, beef and pork is also served in niche restaurants.

This would be closer to the truth that all that PC that you have appended.


Nothing hearsay.

We are experiencing the same from you right now.

All gas and no go!

So while western countries continue to liberalise, India continues to stagnate into a morass of religious fanaticism and state imposed dietary restrictions. Great, definitely sounds like the sign of an emerging superpower!!

Should popular sentiment be the only basis of making law?

I take it you come from one of the BIMARU states then?

What does this has to do with Can Restaurants in India Legally Serve Beef?

dont go off-topic and attack ones nation and govt since you cant defend yours or the point made,

You told there is no law to prevent the selling of DOG as FOOD and i pointed out why that is and you go on ranting about the superior western culture, I rest my case here and you can continue blabbering bye.

@Off-Topic

* It is the west which have carried out humanity's largest massacre be it in name of Nazi or Other.
* It is the west which have carried out largest killing of people till date be it Afghan,Iraq,Libya,Pakistan and other.

The only difference in top 2 point is
1) You killed your own people through WAR and Ethnic Cleansing
2) You stooped killing inside your people and started killing people in other countries possibly developing countries.

Interesting

And for the record you cant live in peace with 1 language, 1 Culture from north to south, 1 Religion whole country, 1 Race, 1-2 Human skin color and more important not even population of our 3-4 states combined still you require Mammoth chunk of budget to maintain your Police,SF and Home Land Security. if you are soo developed why you need this ?

Another facts of India We have more than 40 main languages spoken, We have almost 7 Religion widely practiced in India and worlds Greatest Religions where founded here, We have at least 3 Race of people, We have people from Fair to Dark and even Yellow, And worlds largest population because our govt may be corrupt but wont carry out silent killing of people in name of disaster and epidemic and new decease.

And we are relatively good than the west.

You didn't answer my question. Is majority sentiment the only basis for making law? The Holocaust was one example of laws being made and plans being executed on the basis of majority sentiment. The ban on beef eating is a similar, though less extreme case of religious persecution in the case of non-Hindus.

Ban on beef today, Muslim genocide tomorrow. Where is the line drawn?

In India, serving beef is illegal and restaurants are liable to face criminal charges. In Canada, you won't go to jail for serving dog meat.

That's the difference. State sanctioned persecution vs social unacceptability.

On the contrary the superpowers of today have more dietary restrictions then some of the newer emerging powers

For eg

1. Many herbs are banned in western nations
2. Insect, rodent, and other exotic meats are banned in western nation

In a democracy it is a fundamental basis.
For eg most of USA has not recognized gay marriages because it is unpopular

but a popular sentiment if it violates certain sacred principles of the constitution/host nation then it is disallowed
For eg Banning child pornography

sometimes the state is responsible for guarding the national ethos, culture etc
for eg. censorship

The gentleman is not wrong, most of the progressive and not so progressive states are under serious debt.

Yes its still there,'Your ways are not necessarily ours ways.. '

The Majority are Hindu & Non-Hindu include sikh and Jains & Bhudhis are also non - beef eater, Just not only Hindus..

And portraiting others are force to forego eating beef is just nonsense, there is nothing like that, People in India eat beef as per Community they live in..

------------------

A Muslim makes a beef shops in Muslim community and Christian open pork shop in a Christian community not Hindu or Muslim, It is that simple..

Its what`s people welcome not being super power, ideological, Political mess and all that things you are relating to simple things..

In a previous post I've already answered.

Not true, I've been many restaurants in Delhi which serve Beef.

Victim of a cognitive bias ?

If Canada was a nation, one would understand.

But Canada is not a nation. It is an appendage.

If Lockerbie bombers could cause such an uproar, the Canadian law and judicial system has shown it is courrupt and weak that it could not serve justice in the Kaniksha sabotage.

So, let us leave these weak kneed govts to wallow in thier fraud and deceit.

Let us talk of Nations and not Appendages.

Do you really feel that the world finds Canada as a Nation to be take cognisance of?

Just because we accept our self to ignore pork by respecting their sentiment of our Muslim brothers they do the favor to us, And again you know this is INDIA which has no state religion, Unlike many developed countries in west like UK,US etc which officially say they belong to certain faith, TRUE SECULAR STATE ? MY A$$

On the one hand the West laments and shouts from the rooftops that Indian children are malnourished.

And on the other, you want the easiest way to nourishment - milk - to be diminished by slaughtering cows and eating it!

Christ, you Westerners take the cake.

Marie Antoinette is a close relation?

Hmmm no need to go to 5000 year old text you can just get the feeling of those who worship if you feel like respecting others else you can close the eye and ask demand proof of text and make things complex. What is important is that Hindus worship them and you know it and honor it it you like or ask for trouble.

That's a bit ludicrous don't you think? I mean Canada IS a G-8 nation after all...
