If you kill cow,then you will be killed.

If you're in another country, respect the culture.

Probably in old times in the time of hunger cows were more important than people. The issues probably was that people can t eat grass. From other side from cow s milk a lot of products can be done and it was much more profitable to have the cow, rather than killing it. Obviously when there were too much of people and very few of cows, cow life cost was higher. Maybe it s still higher in some regions.

The cow in India is considered a sacred animal. The cow to Hindus is equivalent to the status of the mother, because this animal has such maternal qualities as humility, kindness, wisdom and peace.
There are several legends that tell about how a cow became a sacred animal of the Hindus. And they are all very interesting.
According to Hindu mythology, the Hindu, to after death get to heaven, you must cross the river. To make it possible only with the help of the cow, holding its tail.
The Puranas (ancient sacred text of Hinduism) says that the Gods, creating the ocean, took from him a cow Kamdhenu that could grant any wish. Hindus believe that each cow is Kamdhenu and can also fulfill human desires, if it is to love and honor.
The cow is a wet nurse because milk and all dairy products are very beneficial for human health.

If a Muslim woman got together with an Indian man, would they become vegetarians?

 

When a Muslim woman marries a Hindu man, in 90% of the cases, the male converts to Islam. On the other hand, if a Muslim man marries a Hindu woman, then in 99.99% of the cases, the Hindu female converts to Islam. So it is obvious. The vegetarian starts eating beef after marrying a Muslim.

Them that there is nothing more to talk about in the family? Who cares what faith? I'm an atheist but Buddhism and Hinduism do. And cows in India someone kills you? Only the Muslims? In stores probably also sell beef. What are Muslims too?

A lot of people eat beef in India, and it is not just limited to the Muslims. Beef is like staple dish for the Christians, who form the majority in states such as Kerala, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland. Also, a lot of Hindus (especially the lower castes) eat beef outside the cow-belt states. And even some of the cow-belt Hindus eat beef, once they are out of India.

Hindus believe cow as their sacred animal.Most of them dont eat it and they think killing cow as a sin.But what the problem is,in india,some hindus call themselves as cowrakshaks,meaning saviors of cow and they start attacking and even killing other people if found eating beef or carrying beef with them.Either you dont kill cow,otherwise you will be killed.Its their slogan.

India is a very contradictory country. Among the population of India is really a common respect for the cows, but this does not prevent India to take fifth place in the world for beef production. These are the miracles there are in this country.

Hindus don't eat beef in nearly all cases.  It's other people who eat beef, because Indians aren't all the same group of people.  So they don't contradict themselves at all really.

[Mometaskers]

Ridiculous, these are no better than suicide bombers. Seriously. a cow's life is much more valuable than a human's? So, they stop traffic flow when cows cross the street? These people seem to have black and white view of life. Can't they understand that other people don't subscribe to these beliefs?

Hopefully this sort of intolerance will stop. It seems this have some sort of nationalist tinge to it.

Which is one of the reasons why i see India as a third world country. I respect almost everyone's believe, but to kill other people because you don't agree with them is just plain idiotic.

It's abysmal to kill a guy just because he is selling beef.

From what I have read on this, this is a result of a regulatory change pushed by the new chief minister in a fairly right wing administration. The right would like to see beef slaughtering completely banned, as cows are sacred to the religious right in India. This has resulted in a campaign of small cuts; the regulatory bar is being raised to price many meat producers out of the market. This is overwhelmingly affecting Muslims, as they do eat beef, and are one of the few over there that would process an edible cow carcass (non edible is a completely different discussion). A lot of vigilantism has cropped up; and is being used to reinforce caste. Because only the lower castes would touch a dead cow. So easy to mob and harass these guys, who are just doing a pretty shitty job to get paid.

I guess this would really limit what Muslims and other minorities there can eat. Do they even have Mc Donald's there serving Big Macs?

Same thing that other religious people cant force hindus to eat beef,just like that hindus cant force people of other religion not to eat beef.Every one has their own right to decide what to eat and what not to eat.

I do not think that it is necessary to talk about cosmic discoveries and religion at the same time. Once the world sees the aliens, the church will lose completely.

[Vikash kumar]

In hindu religion the cow is accept as mother animal because during the born of a baby first of all the cow milk dopped  in baby mouth and after some days her mother used to breastfed to baby so it is assumed that cow is correlate with mother and her protection is our duty.hence never kill cow animalbut save her .

We don't even need to discover sentient life for that to happen. Even a single-celled organism found in any moon in the solar system should be enough to shatter the delusion for us human snowflakes who believe the universe revolves around us.

I wonder what sort of mental gymnastics they'll have to come up with to avoid facing that. Maybe "They are just like the animals made for us, just on a different planet,"? Or "These are the work of the devil/shaitan/flying spaghetti monster/etc to lead us astray. Have faith!"?

This is understandable, but how do you know that India is one of the leading places in the world for the production of beef? Who kill and cut up cows?

Well it seems that you just have to follow tradition if ever you come to their place or their territory to avoid conflict and harm. Though cows are considered consumable meat, of course we have to respect other people's traditions. I find iy weird though that they value cows lives more than humans but its their belief so we just have to respect that and avoid doing it in their place

I'm generally against killing animals for meat. I am a supporter of vegetarianism, but what can be demanded from people in other countries even if in India they kill cows for meat.

They don't produce beef from cows in North India. In North India, beef is derived from buffalo meat. Buffalo holds no significance in the Hindu religion, and therefore there is no ban on the slaughter of that species.

Of course these are two different creatures and there will be no problems if you eat a buffalo. But I think that in extreme cases you need to know about such things if you are going to India.

If you are visiting India for a short duration, then it will be better to avoid beef altogether (both cow and buffalo meat). If you are that determined to have beef, then make some Muslim or Christian friends, and ask them to refer restaurants where buffalo meat is available.

[PowerWalletDotCom]

A little more and people who are in Hinduism will be equated with Muslims. Some because of the pigs want to kill others, because they eat pork, and others will kill because of the cow. Lord, where we are going.

[mindrust]

Sounds like a war starter between Muzzies and Hindus.

Muslims behead cows in the streets and eat them while they celebrate the act. That must be a very traumatic event for Indians seeing their god-animal being decapitated and eaten.   And they fkn celebrate while doing so.

Not acceptable in any way.  

[Rupok]

No Muslim believes this, it is a made of Hindus.What Allah has created is for the benefit of human beings. And as a sacrifice, cattle are given more importance.
So there is no basis for killing people if they kill cow.

Hindus are the mother of the cow, then what is the shoes made of cow's skin?

[joebrook]

Why kill someone because he has killed a cow, that's very stupid, if the cos is a god why doesn't it avenge itself from being slaughtered, whatever god tells another to avenge it is a toothless god.

[furling]

Why kill someone because he has killed a cow, that's very stupid, if the cos is a god why doesn't it avenge itself from being slaughtered, whatever god tells another to avenge it is a toothless god.

Because the cow is a merciful god It doesn't feel the need for vengeance, but it's lowly human acolytes and zealots are not on this high level of thinking yet as it seems.

Can you imagine these people here in the west attacking cattle farms and meet processing plants? Wonder if they'd go as far as suicide bombing attacks in the name of the cow god.
