TIME TO BAN "LOTUS STEM" ALSO CALLED "KAMAL KAKADI".........
Afterall LOTUS has come to be the symbol of Holy Hindutva isnt it? I wonder why Hindus are not yet upset by blatant consumption of Kamal Kakdi :)
It is pertinent to note that the cows were not being slaughtered in Maharashtra anyways for all these years and the slaughter of cows had been stopped as far as back as the 1970s. Even the import of cow meat from markets like New Zealand were stopped a couple of years ago after the law which says that even imported cow meat can't be served in restaurants. The bill also mentions that the slaughter of water Buffalo's can continue hither to fore.
Now if we go by another random reaction that i came across and I quote "The cow is sacred to the Hindu community and we have never killed cows in Bharatvarsha". But when the bullock is not sacred why pass a law to ban their slaughter? Now that is a tough one to counter and justify.
However, it's unlikely that the many who are upset about the ban on beef are outraged about these factors. You should be outraged for farmers who will be saddled with unproductive animals, for butchers who could face unemployment . You should be outraged because the state is infringing on the freedom of communities to consume food of their choice.
And if you're an animal rights activist you should cheer and redirect your outrage towards stopping the slaughter of chicken, pigs, goats and buffaloes.Also need to note that In a one stroke @Dev_Fadnavis has opened up a black market economy which will flourish in the times to come,...
However it is hearkening to note that in many first class restaurants in and around Mumbai the few doubts that may have persisted over what exactly is served when you order a beef steak were dispelled by 'Riyaaz Amlani', Head of the National Restaurant Association of India, who confirmed that no restaurant that he knows in Mumbai has been serving cow or bullock meat. "We've been eating buffalo meat for a lot of time and we (restaurants) have been only serving buffalo meat," so likely that it would be businesses usual in such places.
While Bullock meat is primarily consumed by the middle classes and by communities of which it is a staple which constitute more that 30% the industry also provided an avenue of employment for the butchers, both of whom will be hit hard.
While I always thought that if the BJP would want to ban a food item the first thing it would ban would be - 'Lotus Stem!
