Oh I thought Sri Lankans were Asuras .....
On the politically motivated bit, I do not agree. Large percentage of Hindus and Indians feel very strongly abhorrent about the slaughter of cows. I don't understand how someone can call himself a Hindu and eat a cow. It really is sickening. I am sharing my sentiments on the subject, not lecturing you.
Even if politicians keep away from the issue, it will not change how people think. And politicians and political parties do not exist and operate in vacuo. They represent the people. So if the people feel strongly about something, and the politicians do not act on it, they are not representing us. In that context, sure it is political. Just as all elections and elected representatives are.
i do understand what you are saying, but there is different cultures in Hinduism too in India. I was in Delhi and in Blore for considerable years. For e.g only married women wear kumkum 'tilak' on the forehead who are married only. But in karnataka, it is a must for the girls who became a woman.
