Hopefully this sort of intolerance will stop. It seems this have some sort of nationalist tinge to it.
Hindus believe cow as their sacred animal.Most of them dont eat it and they think killing cow as a sin.But what the problem is,in india,some hindus call themselves as cowrakshaks,meaning saviors of cow and they start attacking and even killing other people if found eating beef or carrying beef with them.Either you dont kill cow,otherwise you will be killed.Its their slogan.
Which is one of the reasons why i see India as a third world country. I respect almost everyone's believe, but to kill other people because you don't agree with them is just plain idiotic.
It's abysmal to kill a guy just because he is selling beef.
From what I have read on this, this is a result of a regulatory change pushed by the new chief minister in a fairly right wing administration. The right would like to see beef slaughtering completely banned, as cows are sacred to the religious right in India. This has resulted in a campaign of small cuts; the regulatory bar is being raised to price many meat producers out of the market. This is overwhelmingly affecting Muslims, as they do eat beef, and are one of the few over there that would process an edible cow carcass (non edible is a completely different discussion). A lot of vigilantism has cropped up; and is being used to reinforce caste. Because only the lower castes would touch a dead cow. So easy to mob and harass these guys, who are just doing a pretty shitty job to get paid.
I guess this would really limit what Muslims and other minorities there can eat. Do they even have Mc Donald's there serving Big Macs?
