No beef on menu during Commonwealth Games: Kalmadi

[Iggy]

Kuwait doesn't claim to be secular does it??? TURKEY claims and hence it is strict in not getting any religious alignment!


INDIA "CLAIMS" TO BE SECULAR

Come on.. secular doesn't mean you dont have to respect one communities feelings..

 

[INS Shivalik]

why for common wealth games ??? any reason?

Yes, Lakhs of People visit new delhi for tyhe Games, if We Include it in Menu , then its Obvious that the Bull's or Ox's have to be killed Atleast 10-20 times more than whats done today..... Is this so much difficult for a journalist Like you to understand

If you have followed the debates only on this forum and on a wider scale everyone criticised and opposed Saudi Arabia for these and not to go so far on blasphemy laws we have many threads here where we have aired our criticism.






Is it?? i never knew that in India Cow slaughter is banned in the Indian constitution . India is also not a Hindu Country if not Islamic )


Isnt it compromising its "secular" credentials ??

You see it all depends where in India your speaking about if you go places like goa, kerala beef eating is prominent in local culture and available in hotels. As the games are being held in north India and in the capital Delhi where hindus make up 81% of the population wide availability of beef is not permitted,western tourist who come delhi often see cows on roads and roaming around randomly everywhere.

India is not Pakistan my friend in europe they banned the burkha and europe is secular not christian the law applies to all people.

Cow is a "sacred" animal!!! Will other religions like it if something sacred to them is over looked? obviously no!!!!

also, has anybody wondered how many cow slaughtering sheds are available in Delhi? or where can one buy cows in India for beef in the scale of beef to be provided for participants?

 

[amit27]

why u think Mcdonalds is not allowed to serve beef in India?

Many places allows it here in India..as i said..you can always celebrate eid by not hurting sentiments of other religion..As Ejaz pointed out in some other thread you can always sacrifice goat or other animals in Eid...

I've eaten beef in mumbai, did not know its not available in delhi! Is it true???

It does not matter that the games organisers are not serving it, they are also not serving dog, but it should be available outside if anyone wants it.

If Hindus don't want to eat beef, pls don't eat, there is no force, but allow those who want to.

Thats -1 India - we'll never be a truly hindu state if we used force on people in religious matters like any other non hindu country

Also, only those pakistais allowed to show disgust who want to allow ahmedis full religious freedom, othewise hypocrites - buzz off

SORRY SOME OF MY SOURCES are not direct but my basic understanding is there is a BAN ALL OVER INDIA on slaughtering COWS!

& if i am correct my pakistani hindu friend told me that COW is actually not a GOD but a sacred animal used by the gods hence it is sacred!!

Who is going to know after its slaughtered, are every beef undergoing DNA Test before its sold??? Thats why I used the word SMART here...

Secularism Means Protecting everyones sentiments....And Your Hindu friend is Absolutely right....Its A Sacred Animal
