This guy tells you how cows became ‘holy cows’ and why is India beefing about beef-eating
After all that fuss that took Mohammad Akhlaq’s life, it was found out that the meat in his fridge was mutton and not beef. While Dadri lynching case exposes India’s beef with beef, this timely video shared by East India Comedy will help you differentiate between the two-legged and four-legged animals trotting all around the country.
India is the world’s largest exporter of beef, the 5th largest producer of beef and the 7th largest consumer of beef. And ironically it is here where cows are called Gomata too. Azeem Banatwalla will tell you how cows went on to become ‘holy cows’ or our Mother (Gomata) while others, like buffaloes, sheep, pigs, goats etc, remain just as they are– animals.
All cow-fans may find it all bull-shit and cow-dung whatever Azeem is talking here but it describes why India can never stomach beef that easily!
