The myth of the holy cow


Nobody is surprised. 

The myth of the Indian vegetarian nation

  1. And the evidence for hindus happily eating cow meat during long historical periods is plenty. Vegetarian Hindus often call muslims and Christinas cowkillers in a denigrating sense. Especially muslims are described as "oversexual cow killers". They murder our cows and rape our women, hence "over sexual cow killers". A somewhat cute and funny lament.
    BUT the world "cowkiller" used to be a synonym for "guest" among hindus. Because if you had an honured guest you were expected to slaugther a cow and feast on the meat with the guest.

  2. Yes, there is an entire book called "The Myth of the Holy Cow" (I commented on it in several early blog posts), which upset the Hindu nationalists so much that they demanded it be burned under ritual forms!

  3. Sounds like the types who claim evrything of value in the world outside india is "stolen from amcient india". Maybe that explains wjy they shit in the streets so often? Because evil westernes looted all their vedic water closets wich we now falsley claim to have invented?
