Great Secular India Makes McDonalds go Vegetarian

[kingkobra]

Why hindu rebellion when majority of hindus are non-vegetarians??
do they mean Jain rebellion because Jains do not eat meat or onion,garlic,potato.

And what is Hindus eating meat?


Or are Hindus "flexatarians" when it is convenient for them?



Alcohol is not the issue. Pakistanis drink in Pakistan as well, but I have not met a single Muslim in the US nor Pakistan that loves to eat Pork.


Meanwhile, I know Hindus that love to eat meat which includes big macs from Mcdonalds.

That's one hundred percent cow in that meat patty.

I agree with you, there are some people who are hypocritic about their religion, they claim to be following it but actively break those rules in the religion. Personally I dont care, because I feel every one is a free person that can make his/her choices on how to live their life.

Also, not all Hindus are vegetarian, only certain sub-groups like Brahmins and Indian Jains are (I think some Indian Buddhists are veg too). But I have known some North Indian Brahmins that eat Chicken Biryani, Bengali Brahmins that eat fish, South Indian Brahmins that eat chicken, etc.

Both are mutually exclusive..eventhough vegeterians in India are not like the ones in the west and to my experience doesn't try to impose their beliefs on you.

In general i don't people have problem with vegetarians, but it can not be said the same vice versa. About the thing you said in India that I can believe though.

I am an atheist, and to top it all, a Bengali.

Guess what is a Bengali's favourite dish, irrespective of religion?

 

[harpoon]

Yes, but why do a lot of them still masquerade around as an orthodox Hindu upholding Vedic principles, when they really don't?

I really didn't get your point?

I really didn't get your point?

Explain what importance vegetarianism holds in Hinduism. Also explain why it holds no importance at all.

Then tell me if it is not contradictory.

Its the same as the importance of beard & Burqa in Islam..some follows it , some don't.

Buddy while living in the US I've even seen Brahmins eating beef/steak. That may be a different story compared to India, however I don't think there are any restrictions within the newer generations especially among the urban youth. Just my two cents.

There are a lot of different sects in Hinduism, some sects are vegetarians some sects are not - and the non vegetarians are the majority. Some say all hindus were non vegetarians in the past i.e. anytime between the 5000 year old history, present beliefs of being vegetarian - which incidentally goes with India's agrarian society quite well also including all the veggies and fruits that are grown in India - agrees with being vegetarians for some sects.

Boning part I don't see the problem if there is nothing illegal, but since when does eating meat become illegal though?

Its not illegal maan, The argument is Human are omnivore and some chinese fellow said they are carnivore. Theres a difference. rite.

 

[OrionHunter]

India should already declare itself a Hindu Republic...

WTF has eating a cheese burger gotta do with making India a 'Hindu Republic'? Many Hindus are voracious eaters of meat - chicken and goat! I have to gorge this non veg stuff DAILY or I throw a fit and sink into deep depression!!

Agreeed bro. I am "supposed" to be from a Brahmin family, but I do enjoy the occasional Peperroni Pizza or a well cooked steak myself

I did not say human are carnivore, but rather I said human are predators. There is a reason why human are on top of the food chain.
