OK, they worship cows in India. But if a lot of ppl. are starving to death?

Question

wouldn't the thought come to your mind to have a bar be cue? Really, don't are missionaries tell these ppl. about eating beef?

Answer 1

There are many food sources other than beef which they can partake of. If respecting "Bessy" is their thing, and don't threaten to kill me if I don't, no harm, no foul.

Answer 2

May I say, Sir, that you display a rather well known misconception of India and your shortfall in English.

I'd been to India a couple of times on work and also on a vacation, Sir; and I found [a] that the "holy cow" exists only in the Western mind. [b] That Indians do eat beef and there are quite a lot of BBQ Restaurants there. [c] However, Vegetarianism is quite fashionable nowadays. [d] When I last India, Sir, I didn't see so many "starving" people as I saw fat people and spas with a lot of people trying to slim!?

I wonder how different all this is from what's happening here, in USA and the West?

I don't see why the missionaries are being brought into this piece of obvious anti-Indian Propaganda by a guy who's so evidently a Pakistani, judging from your English usage?

Just to enlighten you, Sir, most Hindus in India are vegetarians because they consider it barbaric to kill an animal and eat it when they have such a wealth of fruits and vegetables available to them.

Also, the root of the "holy cow" story lies in an Englishman's making fun of the saying of an Indian Guru who was preaching vegetarianism where he said that the killing of an animal, when there is the wealth of fruits and vegetables available, was an act equal to murder! The Guru illustrated his sermon, in the ending, by asking the people if they would sell their mothers to the butcher just because she was now old and unproductive? What then, he asked, was the difference when you drink the milk of the cow, like you did your mothers milk, and then sell her to the butcher just because she's now growing old and unproductive?

Heading the news story, the Englishman gave the report the caption "Holy Cow!" and this stuck.

Please note that the "wealth" of fruit and vegetables is always referred to. Quite some decades ago, a couple of areas, and rather small ones, in India had had famine there and the farmers there left their land to go to better locales. This was again given a lot of hype. So, the starving Indians are actually a myth.

I'd suggest that you kindly refrain from spreading such ill-informed and misdirected rumor, Sir.

You Pakistanis aren't exactly very popular anywhere and people like you only succeed in tarnishing your name even worse.

Have a nice day.

Answer 3

Uh oh, I see where you're going with this and it doesn't look good for the cows. I wonder if someone in India sees eating a cow out of desperation as akin to eating another human being?

Answer 4

Beef is not the answer. It takes a hundred pounds of grain to make one pound of beef-- isn't it more efficient to jsut eat the grain? Cows can pull plows, even if sacred, and the females can provide milk, which is two reasons not to slaughter their cattle for food.

Answer 5

Cows are not worshipped in Hindu. The basic belief in reincarnation suggests all animals, especially higher order mamals, could well be an ancestor. I believe cows are seen as the penultimate step to nirvana. Would you eat your grandmother?

Answer 6

LOL
And you would think that the 'advanced souls' in the cattle would be happy to sacrifice their flesh for the betterment of so many starving people!

Answer 7

A cow feeds more people alive than dead. This is a simple fact.
