Dadri incident is violation of a citizen’s constitutional ‘right to life’ and shame to the nation. Cow is sacred symbol of wealth, strength, abundance and selfless giving in Hinduism. While cow is mother to so many children including some human beings in India, it is widely butchered for delicious red meat called beef across the world. In fact, the majority of the world population are beef eaters.
Beef is defined as the flesh of cow, bull or buffalo used for food. Prohibition of cow slaughter in India is a directive principles of state policy contained in Article 48 of the constitution. That means, each of the state can take their decision on it considering the regional animal husbandry. States, except Kerala, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim have either completely prohibited or allowing controlled Cattle slaughter.
We have nearly hundred thousand slaughtering houses across the country that is legal or illegal. Beef is one of the major trade items regardless the cattle(cow, bull or buffalo)being slaughtered, in every city of India.
‘Beef ban’ is an ambiguous statement since its necessity is unjustified. Do these people hate non-vegetarian food and call for beef ban or do they demand it because of the holiness of cow? The former case is itself debatable. In the latter case, why the cow-worshiping people (Don’t want to call them Hindus, since not all the Hindus are believers of ‘cow-god) need the ‘beef ban’? Are they also considering bull and buffalo as other family members?
People in Kerala enjoy buffalo meat as beef. Buffalo is the major cattle slaughtered in Kerala for centuries, yet people consider beef as cow flesh.
Anyway, banning beef is certainly a sword against the choice of food. Intervention in food choice is a fascist thought. Religious intolerance in the name of cow and pig should not be allowed in the society (remember how first war of Independence occurred). These issues are growing rapidly in optimally fertilized political soil of the country. Some selfish politicians have redefined beef as only cow-flesh. They inject venom of religious intolerance across the country. This has to be stopped.
