I say this as someone who does not eat meat; it is truly sad to see the violence and madness unleashed in India on this issue. Why we cannot treat other people’s cow as their property and not our Holy Mother – is simply beyond me. If these Goonda-type Hindus feel that badly about Cow slaughter, they should simply bid to buy the Cow from the butchers. Of course, they will not do that as it costs too much of their own, government-issued funny money!
The Cow Worshipers often point to Directive Principles of the Constitution which require protection of the Cow. When I say that this principle can simply be dropped from the Constitution, they get really angry about the “sanctity” of the Constitution. Thus showing they have not one, but two Holy Cows (the Cow and the Directive Principle). Of course, there is nothing sacred about the Constitution as I have lost count of the number of Amendments that have been made to it.
