Especially when you understand so little about India.

Goat skin leather is popular in India.

It is not surprising. They don't let us shoot monkeys in Lucknow-cows are even more holy. Personally I thin good sense should prevail and if someone else eats a cow it shouldn't affect a Hindu sitting thousands of miles away... but again I am saying good sense should prevail-impossible with the Hindutvas currently in power.

This is actually getting hilarious...... unless someone nips it in the bud, this is the first and last time Modi is going to enjoy his abode at racecourse road........... all hail Congress for another stellar fifty years in power and back to hindu rate of growth, albeit without the self declared king of Hinduism!

Arrogance and politics don't go together, at least the teapot-head should understand this basic fact.

I've stayed in Lucknow. Both my parents born there as well as my grandparents. Lucknow is our city and Lucknowi or Awadhzai our ethnic identity

why do you want to shoot monkeys? you don't need to kill them.. if you can relocate those monkeys into deep forest... I guess it would be better for you to look into things happening in your country... are you a TTA really? ?

Sure, Lucknow is your city in the same way as both Pakistan and Bangladesh are for many Indians...but reality should take precedence over delusion unless you are only interested in trolling.

Who are the beef eaters in India?
More than 80 million people eat beef/buff in India, including 12.5 million Hindus

The lynching of a Muslim man in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly storing and consuming beef a few weeks ago has sparked a heated debate about banning the meat. Predictably, battle lines have also been drawn around religious groups.

But data from the latest National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) round shows that around 80 million people—around 1 of every 13 Indians—eat beef or buffalo meat. That number is almost the same as Germany’s population and is spread across religions and states.

The biggest chunk of beef eating population is Muslim by faith, according to NSSO data. Around 63.4 million Muslims consume beef/buffalo. That adds upto 40% of the total Muslim population. For Christians, this figure is around 26.5%. Although, less than 2% Hindus eat beef/buffalo, they are ranked second in absolute terms. More than 12.5 million Hindus consume it.

How did we arrive at these numbers?

The last consumer expenditure survey by NSSO was conducted in 2011-12. For beef/buffalo category, the data was collected in two schedules, type I (based on a 30-day recall period), and type II (based on a 7-day recall period).

We have taken the type I schedule to ensure better capture of actual consumption given the longevity of the recall period. On the flip side, it might lead to under-reporting of actual quantity consumed.

Among the 101,000 surveyed households, 9,711 reported having consumed beef/buff. Using population weights given by NSSO to arrive at total population estimates, it can be said that out of 1.1 billion people, 83.5 million consumed this meat variety, which is around 7.35% of the total population.

Among religious groups, there are considerable variations across caste groups. Apart from Muslims, schedule castes and schedule tribes (SC/ST) comprise the majority of beef-eating population. Among Hindus, more than 70% of the beef-eating population is SC/ST, 21% is other backward castes and only 7% is upper caste (others category).

Consumption patterns vary across states as well. The largest beef/buff consuming state is not the Muslim majority Jammu and Kashmir but Meghalaya, where more than 80% of the population consumes this meat. Among larger states, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Assam and West Bengal show a relatively higher share of beef/buffalo-consuming population.

There is also some evidence to suggest that the NSSO data might be under reporting actual consumption. Adding total beef/buffalo consumption for reporting households and then using NSSO weights to arrive at a total monthly consumption gives an all-India figure of 36,800 tonnes. A rough annual consumption estimate would yield a figure of 441,000 tonnes.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides time series data on beef/veal production, consumption and exports for India. USDA statistics for 2011 show domestic production of beef and veal to be 3.3 million tonnes, out of which around 2 million tonnes was consumed domestically. By 2015, production has increased to 4.2 million tonnes, whereas domestic consumption increased to merely 2.2 million tonnes. Hence, the export boom.

In any case, it is clear from the NSSO data that beef eating cannot be attributed solely to any one particular religious group in the country. In many regions of the country, a large number of non-Muslims eat beef.

You don't know what a menace those creatures are... jumping into kitchens, stealing food and scaring the ladies in our household. We want to shoot them. They are very common in Lucknow. But there is an unwritten law of Hindus that no one should harm an animal.

But you are right the best idea would be to relocate them. Even the cows should be put in pens. They are roaming my area constantly. I think good sense should prevail. Instead cows dogs and monkeys are running amok in our areas.
