To define what is now known as Hinduism in a couple of sentences would be an impossible task. The term was first coined ..

Osmania University has been in lime light for
its anti-national philosophy in past couple of years. The recent
one being the “beef eating festival”. While one
has total freedom on choosing what to eat, the way of protesting by
promoting beef eating beats all the logic! The promoters of this
festival claim they are against the food fascism, now I really
wonder what according to them fascism is. Are the laws or
principles which are beneficial for the society a kind of fascist?
The recent article by IBTL on how the production of agricultural
product are sufficient to feed all the people on earth gives very
good insight on how food deficit around the world can be removed.
Apart from this it has been proved that vegetarian diet is
healthier than a non-vegetarian. People following vegetarianism are
lesser prone to disease like cardiac arrest, etc.
Promoting Vagen diet has been gaining popularity in
Europe. This is mainly because of increased awareness about its
benefits which not only effects physical body but also has positive
effect on mental level. On the other hand it is astonishing
to see that educated people from India are protesting such
practice. I don’t really understand how such educated youth can
promote such non-sense thing like beef eating festival.
The diet pattern of people is highly attributed to the place and
climate they live in. We are lucky to have climate and land on
which crops can be grown round the year. In many other countries
land cannot be used for cultivation most of the year either due to
low temperature or extremely high temperature and hence led those
people to eat meat as their main food. Moreover our ancestors were
wise and formed a culture of vegetarianism which was very well kept
until our education system was Macaulised. Many
people have started eating meat just to show that they are no more
narrow minded Indians as their elders are or were. This is nothing
but just an act of foolishness. In reality people have
forgotten all the knowledge which our ancestors discovered through
there century long research. The sad part is that our education
system has made us think only negative about our history and made
us think that our ancestors were nothing but some religious fools
who just followed whatever was according to religion. The fact is
that everything had logic and science behind it, the only
difference is that now we have long forgotten those logics and
don’t even try to find answers behind it. We take it for granted
that it has to be something senseless. Instead of writing further
on this it is better to read the article: "देश में चल रहे गुप्त षड्यंत्र को समझने के लिए!"
Further it has also been extensively stated and scientifically
proved that meat industry is one of the major green house gas (GHG)
emitters (Greenhouse gases trap solar energy, thereby warming the
earth's surface). According to a report by the United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) about 20% of
worlds GHG emissions come from meat production. For producing a
hamburger which weighs quarter of Kg releases as much GHG to
atmosphere as driving about 1400 Kg of vehicle for distance of 16
Km! It has been emphasized in many seminars and environmental
summits to reduce meat production so that GHG emissions can be
controlled. Now imagine if 400 million (can be more if other
people who eat meat rarely or very less are included) people in
India who are vegetarian start eating meat. First of all there will
be a global crisis of meat; secondly the improvised people will
increase, who are already too many in India. We should be more
careful about this because any change in climate will result on
more natural calamities like drought and will pose serious threat
to food reserves. Apart from this, increase in temperature will
result increase in sea water level and India having one of the
longest coastline will get affected too badly. Clearly from
economic perspective as well as from environmental perspective meat
has negative impact on our country.
There are lots of campaigns going out in EU which promotes
vegetarianism to decrease GHG emission and in the end to
attain sustainable living. Because in the end a society free from
meat is most sustainable. And this has now been understood by
several developed economies. I think that just like “Yog” when it
went to US became “Yoga” and then our macaulised people accepted
it, similarly our vegetarianism has been already termed as “Vagen”
and will soon get accepted by our own people! Instead of being a
mentor to the world on this we would soon become a follower. It is
shame that people in the name of freedom are misguiding other
people and leading them to follow a destructive path.
