Bacon is usually pork. But in Muslim countries beef versions exist which you might be referring to.

So when people say “beef,” in India, are they referring only to cow, or can it be from other animals too?

Is that what you had?

Not just in Muslim countries, but in the West as well. Surprisingly, many Westerners don’t consume pork, so they opt for other substitutes.

It's an incredibly delicious meat though. No other meat can offer the utter awesomeness of bacon.

Agreed on the whole however. I think I've had this discussion with someone else on this forum. Many Muslims find the injunctions around alcohol easier to reason themselves around than pork.

I think it's pretty obvious as to why that happens. It has less to do with reasoning and more to do with conditioning

Muslim children are brought up with the idea that the pig is a ritually unclean animal that lives in and eats it's own filth.

When you are conditioned with that imagery, it can trigger a powerful disgust mechanism even when they're older and less religious.

It's easier to work around the injunction against alcohol by comparison.

Every Muslim friend/couple I'm close to drinks at least wine but I know only 1 person who eats pork .

Thread comes out of ignorance.

The oldest text to Sanatna, Rig veda, originates in modern day Uzbekistan, not exactly a vegetarian hot bed.

The vegetarian approach was a counter to the spread of Jainism in India, where "hindu" leaders coopted Jainism values.

The secondary reason might more economical, related to he resources needed to produce meet.

there are stories of devotee feeding meet Shivite (translates to vegetarianism) god, Shiva and eventually wiling to give up his eyes.

So, yes, the vegatarianism is a offshoot of the hindu revivalist movement which was a response to spread of Jainism and Buiddhism

You could have celebrated with something else bro....like MTR Masala Dosa, Meghna boneless Biryani or Nagarjuna meals. However, killing and eating cows cannot be entertained.

All I can say is those who don't eat beef are missing out on delicious beef haleem, beef steak, beef biryani, beef burger, spicy beef curry etc. :dav

In India, pepperoni is where this would apply. Chicken pepperoni is quite popular. Almost all pizzas or food you can order online tends to avoid beef or pork for religious reasons. However, you can order pork-based products online separately through apps like Swiggy or Amazon. Like a packet of bacon or ham, just not from a restaurant.

But there are plenty of dine-in restaurants where you can eat pork-based stuff and even beef.

So beef bans in India are often misinterpreted. Cow slaughter is banned in most states and has been the case even before Modi. What you get as beef is often buffalo meat. But cow meat is also available. Each state has their own rules because there are always caveats and loopholes to help poor cow owners, but to also keep the loud religious lot happy.

So in my state, Karnataka, for example, the last time I checked, a cow older or younger than a certain age can't be killed. It's almost like making it practical for cowherds - when the cows are in their prime, don't kill them and this will keep the religious folk happy.

So the beef I've eaten could have been buffalo or cow. No idea to know, as my taste buds aren't that refined and there is no way to know unless I personally killed a cow and ate it to compare. But what I've heard is, the Kerala restaurants tend to serve cow meat.

I actually wouldn't mock a rural person who grew up among cows for not eating beef because it's like how I could never knowingly eat dog meat. But if you've never been around a cow and avoid it because someone told you not to, doesn't make sense to me.

Also, it has been often shown that the biggest beef companies in India have BJP leaders as the owners. So it's all mostly a pile of nonsense for political points.

Cows or Bull's ?

Cows are only killed when they stop producing meat. Bull's (Male) can be bred for meat and are often killed in Kerala. Even for mutton, it's always the male animal which is preferred for slaughter. That's across all countries. Male Animals have more muscle and are tastier to eat than the female ones.
 
No disrespect, but can any Pakistani poster here seriously explain what has made Pakistanis over the years believe that majority Indians are vegetarians?​

I'm mostly vegetarian too. I eat non veg once or twice in a week.
 
daytrader said:
Maybe try reading the thread. Many older posters were sharing their experience that they would eat beef at restaurants but not at home. Now even at restaurants it's a no go.

And I can tell you this by first hand experience. I own a restaurant that caters to the Indian community. We do not serve beef. Many people ask us beforehand if we do

So you're implying that increasing religious observance amongst Hindus is a sign of radicalisation . So what have I got wrong ?

Absolutely nothing.

It's the equivalent of a Hindu saying that "A Muslim who asks a restaurant if they serve halaal food" is a sign that Muslims have become radicalised
 
Red-Indian said:
However, the thread specifically asks about Hindus. Given the way taboos about beef have grown over the last 100 years, I think it would be rather difficult if not impossible to find folks who claim to be Hindu and still eat beef. At best you might find an agnostic but more likely they'll be atheists.

This is actually inaccurate. Upper and lower caste Hindus in Kerala and the North-East eat beef. In Kerala, the Nairs might not cook it at home but have no issue eating it outside. And I'm not talking about outlier Hindus as you could find plenty of Brahmins who eat beef in cities.

Lower caste and tribal Hindus have traditionally eaten beef without a care. And in terms of numbers, they are significant and the majority of Hindus. Over time, some of them may have shed this diet in an attempt to seem more higher in caste, but the reality is, beef-ban is an upper caste luxury.

What I've observed is, among non-Brahmins, there is a a competition to appear more pure by adding more and more rituals and restrictions that never existed earlier. It's kind of amusing to see sometimes as restrictions are somehow confused with a higher sense of purity.

hahaha that makes you a non-veg person. Even I don't eat meat everyday and about the same as you but wouldn't consider myself a vegetarian by any stretch.
 
I love my beef steaks, but dont like beef in any other form infact hate desi beef dishes. Mutton is a much better tastier meat and offcoure nothing comes close to Pork. I can eat pork everyday if not for the scare of heart attack

I used to think the same but I've been noticing folks getting more and more conscious. I don't know much about North-Eastern Hindus but even Malayali Brahmins who I know either don't eat it or will deny eating it even if they sneak a rare guilty bite. Buffalo meat has virtually taken over.

Pity! I suppose this is how cultures change though. Many meats that were once popular in India like Venison and rabbit have virtually disappeared or are considered 'exotic'.

Don't know about Pakistanis, but we Brits tend to assume Indians are vegetarians. I think it might be because the Beatles and lots of hippies went to India during the '60s for spiritual reasons, and probably in the communes eating meat was considered taboo then.

It's not the only factor. I've provided examples of other factors in post 289.

So basically you recognize that Hindus are increasing their religious observance... why does a 4000 year old religion need that vigor now? Could it be because Modi is at the helm??

Why does any religion require rigour or observance regardless of its antiquity?
 
At the middle of the Gadkari family's sprawling agro-business empire is a beef company that has quietly risen to international prominence.

Read the entire report by Kaushal Shroff on the beef company enmeshed in Gadkari’s business empire:

Nagpur's Beef
The beef company enmeshed in Gadkari’s business empire

IF THE FIRST-INFORMATION REPORT is to be believed, the Lonavala Rural police station, in Maharashtra, received an anonymous call at 3.30 am on 10 March 2022. The caller said that a truck carrying beef would be crossing their stretch of the Pune–Mumbai Expressway as it snaked its way through the Western Ghats. It was a valuable tip. After a 2015 amendment to animal protection laws pushed by the Bharatiya Janata Party, the mere possession of beef in Maharashtra began to carry a longer sentence than the possession of small amounts of heroin, cocaine or morphine. The police acted quickly, with the assistant sub-inspector Qutubuddin Gulab Khan keeping watch near Sinhgad College, where the highway takes a wide turn before it enters the hill station. That evening, they spotted the truck, NL 01 AB 5853—the same number plate mentioned in the tip. Khan signalled for the truck to stop, but it flew by. A chase followed, and Magnu Ashrafi Paswan, the 35-year-old driver, and Shubham Sharma, the truck’s 25-year-old cleaner, were arrested.

The truck’s papers showed that its journey had started from Hyderabad, where it had picked up 1,400 cartons of freshly processed meat, each weighing 20 kilograms. The police priced the catch at around Rs 60 lakh. Paswan and Sharma had neither any certification for the meat nor transportation papers. They only knew that they had been asked to transport it by one Rehan Ahmed Qureshi—who also goes by Rehan Chaudhary—who, they thought, lived either in Mumbai or in Hyderabad.

The Maharashtra Police did not have to wonder about ownership for long. The next day, an application was filed in a magistrate’s court at Vadgaon Maval, a suburban town in Pune district, requesting custody of the 28 tonnes of meat during the pendency of the case. The application came from a company called Rembal Agro and Foods, registered in Mumbai, which claimed that the meat was of buffaloes, not cows, and was thus perfectly legal in the state. Bills of ownership were also presented, with Rembal arguing that the meat was purchased in Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh, before being sent to Hyderabad for processing. It was headed to Mumbai, so that it could be exported to Vietnam.

However, the judge found the furnished documents doubtful. Rembal was transporting the meat from Hyderabad to Mumbai but did not have the permission of Hyderabad’s animal husbandry department. Instead, the health certificate was issued by a veterinary officer in Aligarh. Further, the e-way bill—an electronic document required for transporting bulk goods—was generated by Rehan’s firm, Chaudhary Enterprises. Rehan himself was based in Nagpur, adding to the confusing geographical spread of the whole deal. The judge also observed that no documents had been filed to show that the meat belonged to buffaloes and not cows. He ordered that it be kept in cold storage while the police searched for a bone-mill owner or licensed industrial user to sell it to.

We should be equally open minded to discuss the delight of pork eating otherwise this is nothing but an ugly, hateful, racist attempt at trolling our fellow Indians posters.

As a proud Pakistani, i bravely take stand against Indians on many matters.
But this bigotry is not my style and i will never support hurting religious sentiments of other persons even if i might not agree with their religion. This is why they call us Islamist and why Islamophobia exists. Because of our collective refusal to respect other people's red lines. Some of our people are really disgusting individuals at a personal level and they should be ashamed for bringing a bad name to Islam, Pakistaniyat.
