Subject: Re: [IAC#RG] Stop Meat Export, Ban Cow Slaughter & Make IndiaHealthy
I would differ on the opinion, about meat export and cow slaughter. I guess every one must have seen cows, on roads at times being killed or maimed by the vehicular traffic. We can also find cattle eating rubbish at the garbage dumps, to simplify "no one" cares but every one wants the profit through milk or meat.
Cow has been referred to be holy animal and has religious sentiments attached to it.
If we look at times when settlers we settling along the indus river and civilization was expanding animals were being domesticated cows, goats, ox, sheeps and horses for the purpose of agriculture and as a source of proteins.
Meat was used since vedic times for sacrifices and it included goats, sheeps, cows, bulls and horses. Yagas with animal sacrifices were being performed and the slaughtered animal was regarded as holy food, which was distributed and cooked. The meat was integral part of the culture since the beginning of the civilisation.
However the concern is " Not" to eat beef or not to eat beef. The concern is to why not rest the poor animal who in any case will be end being hit by a vehicle or eating rubbish.
I strongly feel that ancient religious practice's need to be validated with scientific findings and sound reasoning.
i am in agreement with the unbiased, scientific & nationalistic views expressed by the writer Mr Jasmin Mohammed....this is how we as indians should think & act ...

India, a country where eating meat particularly beef is a sensitive religious issue , has become the biggest meat exporter in the world beating the Brazil. Data of ministry of Food Processing shows that India exported 1.89 million tonnes of beef ( larger part in buffalo meat ) in 2012 - 2013 which was 50% increase over last five years.
As far as earnings from meat export are concerned , it touched to 21,000 crore in 2012 - 2013. India has major markets in USA,Europe, Gulf and South Asian countries.
Even the US Department of Agriculture ( USdA ) has acknowledged that the Indian government has played a vital role in enhancing meat and meat products exports. Uttar Pradesh is the biggest producer of export oriented meat while Kerala is the biggest consumer domestically. Cow slaughter is banned all over the country except Kerala, West Bengal and the North Eastern states.
In general meat and particularly beef has become an important foreign exchange earner in India among the agriculture based commodity after Basmati rice with 31% increase in quantity and 52 % rise in value terms during 2013 - 2014.According to figures of Agriculture & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority ( APEDA ) the beef export totaled 1449759 tonnes worth of Rs. 26458 crore lat year.

Th irony is that AK and his team have no idea of governance. They are best suited for agitation and dharnas.To me, AAP is finished except that we might come across their rabble rousing sporadically.LKOn Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 12:05 PM, Sarbajit Roy <sroy.mb@gmail.com> wrote:

The alternative is that at least 9 of his MLAs will become very
neutral towards the BJP. since both BJP and AAP would lose many seats
in Delhi if elections are held today, and Congress would get AT LEAST
25 seats (out of 70) since LS results show AAP has lost its Muslim
votes.
Now if the AAP and Cong form a coalition, Arvind should tell all his
boys to keep very quiet and restrain their goonda / hooligan tactics
All these things are counter-productive IN THE LONG RUN. Arvind

better at delivering good governance than Mr Modi in a MARKET DRIVEN

Agree Sir. But aap without subsidies is like pub without a drink. And which ever way you tax the exchequer the burden is on us i.e the common man. We hve to make the economy self sustainable.
With regards to all.
Dear Dua sahab
Where would AAP get money for all their subsidised socialism in Delhi
? From the same place that Congress got it - liquor sales and stamp
duty on property transactions.
Both sources are seriously down, 'tijori khali hain', GoNCTD salaries
are not being paid on time now, and Congress is only too happy to sit
on sidelines until MARKET recovers in due course.
AAP will have to learn not to pander to its bania / trader sponsors
and design a socialist market economy for Delhi which DISCOURAGES
CONSUMPTION and makes citizens stay within budget (live within their
means) with equality for all..
In other words --> NO SUBSIDIES.
