Nothing’s Secular in Modi’s India

The other day i was going thru a write up...... and from what i learnt from it, The only meat you can trust is Mutton...... Most other meats including fish are contaminated in one way or other

Not doubting what you have said, but providing a link would really help. Thanks!

Read in a weekly, will search and post if i could find an online version of it.....That was in a context of the state i live in..... Where chicken is injected with hormone, and Fish is preserved using ice contaminated with a chemical used on dead bodies.....
 
For many, this sudden shortage has led to near abstinence from meat altogether. Mutton, chicken, and fish are too expensive for the poor, for whom beef is a fundamental source of nutrients.

“None of us eat buffalo. Sometimes, we eat a quarter kilo of chicken. Sometimes, we eat bread. And sometimes, we go hungry,” says butcher Sheikh Nabi Lal, who is the sole breadwinner for his family of five.
This is exaggeration. As far as my knowledge goes beef was sold at half the rate of mutton and poultry chicken is available even at half the rate of beef. so chicken is cheaper than beef.
Shaikh nabi lal must be getting free supply of beef whch has stopped. My sympathies for him but no one in india goes hungry nor meat is essential diet as we all eat dals just as in pakistan they call punjabis dalkhors.
However, when govt. take such a decision they must ensure that the jobs of people employed on beef production are saved or some alternate arrangement is provided. Also, a fresh debate was needed before implementing a 20 year old ordinance.

Fish from deep seas it not that bad. And it is proven that some fish can retain more toxins than the others....just like Mutton is considered safer to both chicken and beef.

To all the retards tagging me, do realize that i did not write this post. One of your own writers did.
 
Beef, Maggi and ****. All banned..:( Prohibition will soon follow.:cry:
All joy and innocence is slowly crushed out of life.

Soon undesirable people will be locked up in concentration camps and we will all swear oath of allegiance to beloved supreme leader.
 
Its all in the genes.

With a fraction of that much red meat, we would be dropping like flies.

Heart disease kills a couple of decades earlier in us than the rest of the world.
Well then, you should consider taking red meat in small amounts maybe, to get used to it;)
It will strengthen your immune system :-)

Yeah, it must depend from state to state. Usually in most places, I have seen pork is the cheapest.

In anycase, defenders of beef should abstain from extolling its protein richness. Most cows culled in India(except Kerala, I don't know the scene there) are older ones. Only thing you get from them is fiber, fat and disease. :D Even affluent/educated Muslims stay away from beef except occasions in most places. Otherwise beef is usually cheaper than mutton and chicken but not pork.

Pork is the cheapest and mostly consumed by the poorer Hindus and Muslims in the urban areas.
Maybe if you Indians start consuming beef, you would see a gradual increase in fast-bowlers :woot:
 
Nice article. Shows that muslims are the biggest losers in this new law. But i am not surprised. I have been told that "Musalmanon pey buut zulm hon gey Modi raj mein."

We have Pakistan on our side. Combined with us disenfranchised muslims it is enough to break India-with help from pakistan of course. Lucknowi people (many of them) count Pakistan as its nation.

DIL BEHLANE KE LIYE KHAYAL ACCHAA HAI haviz :)

Just today i saw a Lord Ganesh immerjanam ceremony ( a Hindu festival ) here in Hyderabad ( a Muslim Majority area )

To my surprise, many of the Muslim/Christian friends of mine were actively participating in dance and Dahi handi organised by the Paadal comittee.

None of them was forced to do so.


Everyone was happy and excited.

And

Tolerance is good. But someone should tell this to modi and gang. Its not just us muslims responsibility to be tolerant but others as well.
 
A regional ban on selling or consuming cows by forces close to Modi’s Hindu government has traditional Muslim butchers starving—and others worried about the country’s secular future.

MUMBAI — The stench of slowly rotting bovine entrails lingers in the air on a sultry June afternoon at the Deonar abattoir. A few men desultorily tend to a handful of water buffaloes in a muddy pen, but otherwise the grounds of the slaughterhouse—the largest in India—seem deserted.

A few steps away, six butchers seated on blood-splattered concrete idly chew paan—a mixture of betel nut and tobacco—and chat under the shade of a pale yellow building. Sheikh Qureshi has had almost no work for three months. After a new law banned the possession, sale, and consumption of beef in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, the 22-year-old butcher has been struggling to support his family.

“What are we to do?” he says. “All of us have become useless.”

Around 2,000 men at the slaughterhouse—butchers, skinners, caretakers—watched their jobs collapse overnight when the law came into force March 4.

Expanding a 1976 prohibition of the slaughter of cows, the ban makes killing bulls and bullocks illegal and punishable with a maximum of five years in prison and fines as much as 10,000 rupees (around $160). The amendment also forbids the possession of cow, bull, and bullock meat in Maharashtra, even if the animal was legally slaughtered outside the state.

Beef in India is typically the meat of less-revered male cattle and water buffalo because cow slaughter is banned or stringently restricted in almost all Indian states. Hindus, who make up some 80 percent of India’s 1.2 billion-strong population, believe the cow is sacred. But for Muslims, Christians, and many lower-caste Hindus, beef is a vital part of their diet.

Many say the new law is specifically targeted at Muslims, who control the butchers’ trade across India. The election manifesto of the Hindu right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party, which won federal elections by a landslide last year, promised to increase “protection and promotion of cow and its progeny.”

The Maharashtra ban, the first legislative measure to fulfill this pledge, forebodes a climate ofincreasing intolerance and censorship in a country that prides itself on being the world’s largest democracy.

From a push to rewrite school textbooks retelling history and science as a glorified Hindu past to thepersecution of non-governmental organizations that receive foreign funds, life in India looks increasingly bleak for those who do not toe the Hindu right’s line.

Experts say this state-endorsed shift toward bigotry threatens centuries-old customs of religious minorities and marginalized social groups. “Cultural bias can’t become policy,” says Shiv Visvananthan, a sociologist and professor at the O.P. Jindal Global University in the northern state of Haryana.

Two weeks after Maharashtra imposed its beef ban, the state assembly of Haryana unanimously passed a bill with harsher punishments for the possession and sale of beef. “Banning books or banning meat—both are an attempt to author cultural codes,” explains Visvanathan, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is capitalizing on the “majoritarian impulse” of large swaths of the Hindu population to drive its cultural purification programs.

Last December, mobs of Hindu nationalists in northern India forced hundreds of Muslims to “reconvert” to Hinduism. These Muslims, the hard-line Hindu groups argue, have strayed from their path and are returning home to the Hindu fold.

“The PM promised ‘achhe din aaney wale hain’ [good days will come],” says Halin Qureshi, a leader of the Bombay Suburban Beef Dealers’ Welfare Association. “What ‘achhe din?’ He’s taken away our jobs and our food.” Qureshi—a surname common among Muslims in the beef trade—says he voted for the BJP for the first time last year after supporting the dynastic Congress Party for decades.

The government of Maharashtra, one of India’s richest and most populous states, denies that the law targets Muslims. It was brought into force “for the benefit of the farmers and to arrest the decline of the animal population,” says Mahesh Pathak, the Maharashtra secretary of animal husbandry.

According to Pathak, the long-term benefits of the beef ban include an increase in milk production and protein consumption in the state, and a decline in the use of chemical fertilizers. The butchers should adjust and “cut buff”—buffalo—“instead of beef,” he says, adding, “One choice of meat is not available, but buff will replace it.”

The Muslim butchers at Deonar, however, say they don’t like buffalo meat. “We are eaters of bull meat,” says Qureshi, the beef association leader. Preference aside, the number of animals slaughtered—and consequently the supply of beef—has dramatically declined, to 170 per day from 400 at its abattoir, according to its deputy general manager.

For many, this sudden shortage has led to near abstinence from meat altogether. Mutton, chicken, and fish are too expensive for the poor, for whom beef is a fundamental source of nutrients.

“None of us eat buffalo. Sometimes, we eat a quarter kilo of chicken. Sometimes, we eat bread. And sometimes, we go hungry,” says butcher Sheikh Nabi Lal, who is the sole breadwinner for his family of five.

While the butchers of Mumbai find it hard to make ends meet, India’s beef exports, predominantly buffalo meat, have soared in the past five years. The country now rivals Brazil (PDF) as the world’s largest exporter of beef, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

“Look at the hypocrisy. There’s a huge vested interest [in the ban]—the buffalo industry,” says sociologist Visvanathan, adding, “The classification of animals is done by sleight of hand.” The impact of the ban becomes even more acute for many who are employed in industries related to beef, because they belong to the informal sector, says Visvanathan. “They’re invisible, so their livelihood gets eliminated,” he says.

Even Hindu farmers in rural Maharashtra—who most likely are vegetarians—are facing the brunt of the ban. They are unable to care for the aging cattle they intended to sell for slaughter, according to reports in The Times of India.

The ban hasn’t gone unchallenged. Petitions filed in the Bombay High Court asked the judiciary to stay certain provisions of the new law, arguing that they violate the constitutional rights of privacy and freedom of choice.

The court, the highest in Maharashtra, did not grant a stay. But in a feebly worded order, the judges recognized that an overnight ban did not grant enough time for people to get rid of the beef they once legally possessed.

The high court did, however, direct the government not to initiate prosecution against people in possession of beef for three months after the date of the April 29 order—or until the petitions are finally heard, whichever is later.

That’s of little consolation to the butchers, who used to earn around 600 rupees ($10) each day for 14 hours of work. “We don’t know how to do anything else,” says Mohammed Qureshi. “This [slaughterhouse] is like a jail for us.”

JUST to clear your Delima,

This year's Iftar was organised by Hindu Students of our academy :D

So yes,

This feeling of tolerance is mutual.

We respect their culture they respect ours.
