Beef Ban – My thoughts

Beef Ban – My thoughts

I knew Indian Government would Ban Beef and was waiting for it being implemented and when I switched on my TV today, I was happy to see the Ban in Maharashtra.

I welcome #BeefBan for only one reason and that is “Cow is sacred to me and my fellow Hindus in India”.

So now I am asking these questions to myself because I will be questioned the moment I publish these post.
1.       Am I being religious and happy my God wouldn’t be slaughtered anymore?
2.       Am I being communal and happy that my fellow Christian and Muslim friends would not be able to eat Beef anymore?
3.       Do I really care about other lives? Do I care about all the animals on this planet?

Let me start by saying – I am not religious and I am definitely not communal.
I don’t visit temples, I have never read “Geeta” (Hindu Holy Book), and I don’t know a single “Aarti” or a “Shlokha” or a “Chalisa” but the only thing that I've believed is “Cow” and I've always said “I will die of hunger but will not eat Beef”. I don’t stop people to eat Beef and neither do I get angry on them.

I am neither a communal person nor a radical Hindu. Yes, I am very happy that cows wouldn’t be slaughtered anymore but am not happy of the fact that my “Non-Hindu”, “Beef Eater Hindu” and other “Beef Eater” friends will not be able to give their taste buds the juicy taste of Beef as they describe. Well, that's democracy my friends ! :-)

Yes, eating habits is a personal choice, but answer me, is killing anyone to please our stomach and tongue justified?
Now people will call me hypocrite the moment they read my thought above “killing a living thing and eating it for taste and stomach is not justified” – because I eat Chicken and Mutton. I enjoy that taste in spite of knowing that someone has killed a living thing for me to eat.

There are reasons behind me saying why it is not justified.
·         Reason 1: Cows are as important as Tigers in a food chain – You don’t believe me!! Then research on why Indians and the world are trying to save Tigers, because they know their extinction will kill the food chain and destroy our environment.
·         Reason 2: India has 150 million cows, each of them giving an average of less than 200 litres of milk per year. If they could be fed and looked after, they can give 11,000 litres, as Israeli cows do.
·         Reason 3: Farmers worldwide still use cows and bulls to plough their fields - So will you eat the creature that helps you get food? If yes, then you must also kill and eat Dogs and Cats.
·         Reason 4: Read my blog on “Importance of Cow” - http://lokeshtruefacts.blogspot.in/2014/11/the-importance-of-cow-in-hindu-vedic.html
·         Reason 5: Chickens are not at all important in food chain.

Why are we called HUMAN? Because we care about others too and are much superior to others. Does that give us right to kill animals especially when we know of their importance? Ask the Jains – They don’t even kill a fly or a mosquito, which is their sheer respect for other living beings.

74% of the world population love dogs. They know that dog is important and man’s best friend and that is why they don’t kill and eat dog. Same thing goes for cats and other lovable pets we humans keep and love them as a part of our family. Cow is similarly a pet to our Hindu, Muslim and Christian farmers in India. 

In China and many other countries you can eat anything that crawls, swims, walks or flies. I don’t have anything to talk about them; they have no feeling towards their own beings how would they bother to care of other living things.

“If people can’t take that death on themselves then they have no right to give that cruel end to some speechless living being”

BJP cannot afford to be complacent now

While many supporters of BJP are jubilant with State Elections results, let us sincerely hope that BJP would not be complacent under any circumstances.    In fact, as one close supporter mentioned to me they should work three times as hard.   He added, 'Are you kidding, never write off congress party'.  How true?  I only hope BJP cadre takes this to heart and work longer and harder. Should we be jubilant about the results and the real hope for change?   My question is why the country was put in this place first.   If the country had the same growth that BJP left it with in 2004, we would perhaps be running on par and even be ahead of China.   I recall how everything was booming, middle class growing; many NRIs were looking to settle back in India, the shining India.   Today, more people are being reduced to beggars, to depend on few kilos of rice and pulses the Government doles out for their livelihood. No where in the world's hist...

I as a recruiter hate to see such resumes

Connect with me on Linkedin Mail me - ljangada@qanalysts.com I as a recruiter hate to see such resumes. I’ve been working as a recruiter close to three years now and have worked on both VMS and Direct (Managed) Clients. I mostly work on Software requirements with main skills like Java, C, C++, C#, .Net, Flash, Ruby etc. We need speed and accuracy in finding resumes for VMS job orders and though speed is not a factor on Direct/Managed Job Orders, accuracy still plays an important role in both. Working on Software requirements, one has to learn the art of screening the right resumes before calling that candidate. The art of screening is a very important part for software job orders as there is a huge database of Non US Citizen and Non GC Holder resumes on the Job Boards. I can confidently state that out of every 10 resumes on a particular Job Board 7 to 8 resumes would be H1B Visa Holder resumes – which is fine :-). But my sole motive and thought behind putting ...
