"People’s food choices are their own"
So says the pride of hindu india.

Kya karega woh when in India itself they will never do a central govt ban of beef?
After all immigrant, hindu etc etc of "free and democratic rule of laa" following country, to top it off he's from cuckservative party also.

 

[Blademaster]

Stupid and foolish topic. All Hindus in the west do eat beef. It has a large scale availability together with chicken, hence it is eaten.

No they do not. A large majority of Hindus out in the west are vegetarians. I know. 3/4 of my family here in the US are strict vegetarians.

Beef was never prohibited by Hinduism.

The importance of cows increased by the 1st millennium BCE largely because of their association with gods and financial aspects.

Interesting.


Inter-web is full of how Brahmins used to eat beef (prasad after the Vedic havans when cow was ritually sacrificed) and how the race with Buddhists on "who is more ahimsa vadi" contest made Brahmins go fully veg.

Eager to hear/get reading links on both sides of the argument.

No, Buddhists did nothing about it. Gautama Buddha himself used to eat pork.

As I said, it was due to the financial situation and association with gods which stopped them. Not really anything else.
