What would happen If muslims and dalits stop eating beef?

[aryadravida]

I am sipping my tea now and this thought which has occurred to me many times in the past has struck again. What would happen to the millions of buffaloes ,oxen and cows if muslims and dalits by respecting hindu's sentiments stop eating beef?
There are millions of hindus who are benefitting by selling milk and dairy products. Many of us savour many dishes ,sweets made of dairy products. Personally, I am ready to give up eating or drinking anything made of milk and its derivatives (once you stop using those products there wont be demand for cattle and people stop breeding them which in turn helps in complete dwindling of cattle population in 20 to 30 years...)
Unless the entire country is prepared to give up dairy products and their associated businesses, it is not right to blame or look down upon muslims and dalits for eating beef.
Just imagine crores of unkilled cattle roaming around or being burden to their owners. If it is really so reprehensible to eat beef, we should stop consuming dairy products because we are directly encouraging the growth of these animals . Another thing to be noted is it is hindus who sell these cattle to butchers in the markets once they stop producing milk or become old.
Muslims and dalits by consuming beef are allowing us to enjoy things like tea, sweets ,biryani etc.This is the same thing that has been happening for the last 2000 years ever since hindus gave up eating beef.
I don't know how true it but I read and heard that many hindus after moving to the west start eating beef.

Beef is just an excuse to lynch Muslims and Dalits considering India is one of the largest beef exporter to the world. So entire narative of Muslims and Dalits trying to eat Mommy of Hindus is bogus. A dead cow is all well and good if it is making Indian Hindus some dollars. Even if they stopped eating Beef they will probably be killed over something as small as looking at higher cast brahmins or touching them by mistake.

The whole saga over beef primarily exists in the hindi belt (UP, Bihar, MP etc) and that is exactly where you see gau rakshaks and lynching over beef consumption or cow slaughter albeit those are isolated incidents where leftist media makes a big fuss outta em.

While beef isn't widely available across India, South and North Easterners do consume beef to some extent and face no opposition since they're not taught to hate beef eaters. This comes with education, local politics and basic civic sense. For instance, South Indian politics are based on economic development and betterment of the society while hindi belt has communal based politics.

India is one of the largest beef exporter to the world

India's primary meat export is actually buffalo meat which is often categorized as beef. Infact, India is the largest exporter of buffalo meat and it is consumed in several states across India

I am a south indian(I suppose so are you) and we don't eat beef...except in kerala nowhere in south is beef eaten... but muslims and dalits though not looked down upon as much as in north,there is a stigma attached to them...many hindus even here have this low view of dalits and muslims as they eat beef..in fact the one thing they are mostly identified and associated with is beef itself.
I find it's hypocrisy that on one hand we sell our cattle to butchers and on the other hand ,we despise beef eaters.

While Telugu, Tamilians and Kannadigas don't eat beef on a regular basis...I've seen several of em eat beef without hesitation when available although they account for a fraction of the population. I've seen several of em, both Southies and Northies eat beef in abroad, primarily due to it's availability.

Anyway, my point is Southies and North Easterners don't intend to lynch a beef eater like those from the hindi belt and I completely disagree with your point that "many South hindus look down upon dalits and muslims since they consume beef" since I'm not aware of anyone who has such an impression - and I've lived in two South Indian states for 20+ years prior to moving abroad. There maybe few people who are miniscule in number contrary to the scores of hindi belt folks who loathe beef eaters

You would be drinking more cow ka cola.
Why are Hindus disrespecting Muslim sentiments by preventing them from eating beef?

Tried going vegan once, couldn't do it.

No ice creams, shakes, mithai.. no butter on paratha, no lassi.

I like some beef every now and then, they make a great curry in Manipur, and Kerala beef fry is awesome too.

Al-Kabeer Exports Pvt Ltd Is the biggest meat exporter to world 650 caror rupees meat they export including beef.
hindus hyprocracy to underpressure muslims.

@aryadravida, I don't think there is any compulsory eating of beef in Islamic teachings. Beef is just a regional food. Nothing would happen if beef is not eaten by Muslims.

I have written multiple times on PDF that India would do well to manufacture lab / artificial beef ( read this ) on large scale. This would cover the sensitivities of certain communities in India while continuing consumption of beef for other communities.

it is unfortunate that Indians don't enjoy tofu in that case. tofu is basically plant meat.

Never tried Tofu somehow, maybe I should.

Tried some dishes where soy was substituted for meat but not a fan. They call it soya here.

What they do with the Cow(Bull) as they are useless if not used for the meat/Beef...

And nobody in Pakistan slaughters cows...

It is always a Bull....

How can anyone slaughters a milk yielding, calf bearing cow...nowhere it is done.

Tofu is amazing, it is non-porous unlike many meat substitutes and the dry version （豆干） retains both flavor and texture even in soups.

My rhetoric against India is not to ordinary people, it is mostly aimed at the regime. China has much to offer India if India would step back from the brink.

 

[Jugger]

Eat beef, eat pork, eat whatever you like ( except cannibalism).
This is how a modern state should function, why should the state dictate the dietary do’s and don’ts of its citizens..!!! LOL

Nice, I'll have to give it a go one of these times. There's this real nice pan Asian restaurant near me, pretty sure they'll have something on the menu.

Don't worry about it, easy to get caught up in all the shit slinging that goes on here.. haha

True, but you have to respect local culture and tradition too.

Don't go around Haryana looking for beef dishes, that's just stupid imo

there are plenty of regions in India which don't have a problem with it, the north east and down south specifically.
