Dhaka University ban serving beef - hindu students beaten up café manager over beef

[Clutch]

I don't see any problem here.

A university has decided to ban beef so it can reduce the potential for conflict or to accommodate minorities. The fact is one goes to university to learn and not to eat fancy feasts. Besides students can bring their own meals with however much beef they want.

Would the same logic work for a British university if it banned the use or sale of pork to appease the Muslim extremists on their campus? Or would you turncoat the other way? - just curious.

headline has already been debunked.

Not really. More than 80% of BD population eats beef. Many others like Christians etc also eat beef.

Has Bangladesh banned beef? No.

Has the university banned students from consuming beef? No.

Like I said, I don't see a problem here.

The right way would have been to have separate hostels for Hindus or if someone tries to force them to eat it then action should be taken against that individual. The rest could have eaten beef as per their choice.

Segregation is not the answer besides who will shoulder the cost for separate hostels? Minorities are generally poor, they can't afford exclusive hostels. A little accommodation on the other hand goes a long way.

But this looks like a "shah sai ziada shah kai wafadar" type of thing.

No denying that. Though this is not a good example of it since the accommodation is being provided to Bangladeshi Hindus, not Indians. Two very different things. As I said before, one goes to university to learn and not to eat beef. I wouldn't mind one bit if all Pakistani universities did the same. Its a non-issue.

The headline is that Dhaka University will stop serving beef, which isn't true, it's a sensationalized headline. The banning of beef is limited to the single canteen in which the controversy happened, which does happen to be the Hindu Students Canteen. (of course Muslims CAN and DO eat there without discrimination, the name and meaning are based on more historical pretenses, you will see the same thing in America with "Historically Black" Colleges, Church's, schools etc).

I wouldn't mind one bit if that were to happen. I'd still see the "outrage" over pork ban as faux outrage. The fact is if a British university provides an accommodation for its Muslim students then its doing that for, presumably, British citizens who pay taxes and should be afforded equal consideration for their beliefs.

These days its easier for people to forget their our own values and common decency towards their fellow countrymen with all the burqini bans, beard bans and hijab bans going around the world. The fact is if someone chooses to abandon their moral high ground then that is on them, I should preserve in doing what I think is right, i.e., accommodating minorities is a good thing.

Aaand - it's not true. The news item was sensationalized.

Turns out that the lease-holder for the Hindu Students' canteen fed them Tehari in the morning with Beef in it. His lease was obviously cancelled after the Hindu students threw a fit.....

No where in Dhaka university there is hindu specific cafe. bdnews24 is a awami indian news outlet trying to put spin to cover up what is going on.

Also, why dont you clarify on behalf of hindu fundamentalist
1) why hindu journalist after threatening female student still roaming free?
2) why hindu fundamentalist students beaten up cafe manager and ransacked the cafe still roaming free?

Bro you shouldn't have to give up eating beef just to satisfy hindus. I have lot of respect for you guys, you should do something about it.

Cultural and Religious invasion by India in the guise of Pahela Baishakh.

 

[That Guy]

Instead of banning beef, an easier and less stupid option would have been to give more vegetarian options to Hindu students.

 

[liall]

This whole beef ban thing is a Northern/Western Indian communal Hindu 'thing'. Most educated Bengali Hindus I know don't really care. It's these semi-educated and uneducated Hindus in those states who are really being pushy about beef ban.

But - doesn't work in Bangladesh....take your Gau-raksha philosophy to India, we love our steaks.

How many Bangladeshis can afford steaks? AFAIK Bangladeshis live on rice and fish.

 

[Banglar Bir]

Introducing and sponsoring anti religious vulgar/obscene in our youths.

Destroying our Religious and Cultural Heritage.

Faculty Dean Nisar Hossain termed the incident unfortunate and said it would be investigated. “It seems that there is some evil motive behind it,” he said.

How long it would take to ban sacrifice COW in BD in the name of harming others' sentiment? May be 10 years from now.
