Namaste,
After a recent beef festival on a university campus, it seems that India wants its cows to be butchered left, right and center.

Being the third largest exporter of beef does not seem to be enough for dalits and westerners, who would like to see slaughter houses for cows spring up everywhere in India because it is "lucrative for business" and because Arab and Banglas want to stuff their faces at the expense of innocent animals and we are supposed to cater to them. This barbaric, uncouth mentality seems to be bolstered by the philosophy that protecting cows is "a major hindrance to commerce."
I wonder where the atheists and rationalists are now to stop this, since beef production is a violation of animal rights and puts a tremendous burden on the environment

No, they won't say that. They are the ones who lust for cow flesh and so will throw away any scientific temper they have to satisfy their belly. In fact they are afraid that the poor dalits will die if they don't get beef
(never mind that we waste tonnes of food grains every year) and that their 'rights' will be violated. In Dharma, where we ask not what is our right but what is our duty, this is a saddening direction that India is heading to and it is equally miserable that Hindus back home can't do anything since any attempt to reason is branded as 'Hindutvavadi', 'superstitious' and 'Hindu extremism'.
Comments/critiques will be appreciated.
