Sir I respect you...
Please kuch sawal hain aapse...
Aap beef(cow) khate hain, or khane ke liye prerit karte hain.
Is par mera itna kehna hai.
Ye jayaz hai kya shashtro ke adhar se..?
Ya ek insan jisko sabhi jivon mein sarwochh darjaa diya gaya hai.
Wo yadi masaahar, ya jeev hatye kare....
To kya aap use insaan keh sakte hain ?
Kaise.?
Mai aapke jawab ka intezar karunga...
Kyonki mai aapki respect karta hun.(85 percent aapke dwara post kiye gaye muddon par mai sehmat hun.)
My Reply:
There is nothing wrong in eating beef. 90% of the world eats it---Americans, Europeans, Arabs, Africans, Australians, Japanese, etc Are they all wicked people, and we Hindus alone are saintly ? And how can an animal be the mother of a human being ? Does it carry any sense ? And I do not regard cow as 'sarvoch' amongst animals. There is no 'sarvoch'.
I am not asking anyone to eat beef. Whether you eat it or not is your choice. All I am saying is that there is nothing wrong in eating it. Nagas, Mizos, others from North Eastern states, Goans, Keralites, etc eat it. Are they Indians or not ? Just try to ban it there. Many of them do not follow your shastras as they are Christians and Muslims. Is India a Hindu country or a secular country ?
Hindus who regard cows as holy turn them out of their houses once they are past milk yielding stage, and leave them to fend for themselves. Most of these starve to death. Is this not cow slaughter, and of a more horrible kind ? Is this not hypocrisy ? I have seen cows eating filth and garbage on the roads. Many eat polythene bags, which lead to a horribly painful death. But no one is bothered about that.
