Legalize cattle smuggling on Bangladesh border: BSF chief

[Abhishek_]

^^^ alternatively we can have export beef to bangladesh.

i personally have no issues with that. although i think slaughtering them on our side might be risky for politicians.
selling them seems easier to deal with.

Lol, how do you think we became one of the biggest exporter of beef. I dont think people in abattoirs wait for cows to die (what a boring job that will be... )

hehh i meant in states around BD. is W. bengal ok with beef production?

The People in Bordering Indian states are much better than hungry and poor of BD. Thats why these BD cross the border to earn rs. 500. I know for a hungry and poor BD rs 500 is too much but is it worth to risk their lives?

Ok as I said other day who is paying for the cow??? Indian or Bangladeshis?? It is Bangladeshis those who are paying for it. Definitely those who are going to collect the cow are needy but is it only for 500 rupee??? Now I will teach you some simple math. 500 rupee for each cow. One people can pass easily at least 5 cow then he is earning 2500 rupee. Now even he is doing it for 10 days in a month he is earning 25000 rupee a month which a poor hungry Indian even can not imagine to earn. That is beyond the capability of most of the poor and hungry of UP... You should have much better idea about poor and hunger of UP even if you take your own case... then just imagine those are living far below standard then normal poors.

The crossing border trend shows which side is more poor and desperate to earn profits. Indians are not crossing border to sell cattle, it is BD which is crossing the border to buy them.

Indians are also doing but for other products and for cows too. Who told you that Indians are not crossing borders?? In many cases cow traders when shot were coming to Bangladesh along with Indians. It is very lucrative business of earning 3 times of investment just within hours then who would not do it??? Like to add that the way Indian poors are making money out of it bordering Bangladesh.

India News - Special Reports - India News - Special Reports - Battle of Cattle at Indo-Bangla border

Number of people involved in the trade has increased over time, thanks to the big bucks they earn in the illegal trade. The price depends upon the quality of a cattle, which is usually between Rs 500 and Rs 3000 in India, can touch up between Rs 20,000 and Rs 40,000 in Bangladesh, is a testimonial to the flourishing business.

Elaborating on the modus opernadi of the network involved in the trade, the BSF official informed that the cattle smuggled are brought from far flung states like Haryana, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. This is because the price tag for cattle in these states is higher in comparison to those from Bihar and Bengal. The price for a cattle which costs Rs 500 in Haryana and Rajasthan goes as high as Rs 2500 once it reaches West Bengal. By the time, it reaches the bordering area, the cost of the same cattle touches Rs 5000. It increases to Rs 15000 when it crosses the Indian border. Finally it fetches Rs 40,000 in Bangladeshi markets. Even BDR charges Rs 500 per cattle claiming it as a custom duty but it is a penalty amount for which a token is also issued.

Have you seen how the poor of India at the bordering region of Bangladesh are making money??? They are making almost 10 times the price which haryana or punjab makes by selling cow...!!

Other report indicated that from West Bengal alone more then 20000-25000 cow crosses the border....so if you translate into money bordering region of west bengal and it's poors are alone making 25 cr rupee considering each cow on average cost 10000 rupee but price could be much higher now.

Many come from as far away as Haryana and Punjab. An estimated 20,000 to 25,000 animals enter Bangladesh almost everyday through West Bengal alone. While the trade is illegal on the Indian side, it becomes legal the moment the livestock enters Bangladesh.

So have you seen how Bangladeshis are feeding the hungry and poor Indians??

Lastly the people whom you are saying poor and coming to India for profit are making money are making 25000*500= 1 cr 25 lakh rupee from west bengal cow alone. I hardly doubt all these cows are taken to Bangladesh by Bangladeshis alone as it is quite certain many poor Indians also transfer cow to Bangladesh and earn some hard cash for livelihood as in bordering region people are poor and hungry in India.

now come out of your wet dream and come to reality and shut your mouth.

^^^ we have a trade deficit with china, will it mean we feed hungry and poor china.
It means we are unable to produce things at competitive level. We are not doing favour to chinese poor by buying their products.

Trade with China is legal but this is not the case with Bangladesh. Most of the border's poor of India depends of smuggling goods to Bangladesh.

Is this some sort of joke??

Only male calves/ bulls are sold for meat/leather and smuggled into Bangladesh.

India should legalize it, and jack the prices up by at least 5 times. This will stop the scourge of Bangladeshi smugglers crossing into India illegally and getting killed by BSF and at the same time will decrease the volume of smuggling (cause Indian beef will then become unaffordable for most Bangladeshis).

For the Indian farmers and cattle traders it will be win win situation, as they ll make a lot more money than they do by selling the cattle to the smugglers.

Then why only bangladeshi rich (smugglers) ready to risk their life for this trade

Go and sleep ... you need that badly

How does it change the fact that you are not doing a favour by buying things which you need. Its not as if myanmar is giving you cheaper but you prefer Indian just because you care for our poor.

You buy Indian product because of price differential (or non availablity locally), not because of any favour to us, legal or illegal does not change that fact.

There are thousands of cheap chinese goods smuggled into India too. There are illegal drugs from afgainstan/pakistan (and no it does not mean we are doing any favour to them... )

I posted above in my 2nd last post. This is not only Bangladeshis but also done by Indians as well. 5 Billion usd worth of smuggling is not just a small box that it is done by some random people. It is done by hundreds of thousands of people of both side. But other smuggling product charge is less then that of cow. It is 500 rupee per cow. More then 1.5 million cows cross the border annually so the cow smugglers are earning 750 million rupee a year at least. But real number of cow could be far more then 1.5 million as it means only 4000 cow daily crosses border but it is at least around 30000 figure mark.

Because if cow trade would be legal then poor and hungry Indians of the bordering region would not get the benefit of smuggling goods to Bangladesh. This is as simple as that.

Are you still having your wet dream??? If so come out of it. India can not raise the cow price then national average or local average. It can only charge a reasonable tax but If the charge is more then through legal way cow sell will be down and everything will come back to the present stage again. If India raises cow price by 5 times then all of Indians cow will be diverted to Bangladeshi border but too much cow will crash the price but for Indians it will shoot up more.

And why is that?BAngladesh has no other source, its either you pay 5 times the price or you don't eat beef.

When India will legalize cow beef export, it won't be legalized just for Bangladesh! Indian cattle traders will be able to export it to any country, so if Bangladeshis won't buy it, other "riche"r countries will. Even if they sell it at 5 times the price they sell it to Bangladeshi smugglers( throw away price imo), it will still be a lot lower than the international market price, giving them a lot of importers willing to buy Indian cow beef.

Not to forget India is already the world's largest Buffallo meat exporter, so all the infrastructure is already there. It will be win win for Indian cattle traders and businesses. Not so much for Bangladeshi consumers and cattle traders.

So am all for legalizing cow beef export.

Who told you that!!! Bangladesh have not explored any other source because all it's demand have been supplied by locals and rest by Indian cow.

I told you already why India can not raise cow price... at best it can charge a tax revenue which has been said by the BSF chief. Though in your wet dream it is possible but raising cow price only for Bangladesh would divert all the cow towards Bangladesh.

For any long distance country India can at best export beef as it is economical and profitable. So if the government increases price by 5 times then export to Bangladesh will fall. Bangladesh can still look for alternative options but poors of bordering region of India which is surviving through smuggling goods to Bangladesh will have no other option and eventually will resort to smuggling again at a lower price in return of making some money.

You know it quite well what is the miserable condition of the poors of India in the bordering region. Considering this it will be better for you to stop having such wet dream. If things would be like that India would legalize it long ago.
