It is upto people of goodwill to understand and act on it. There is nothing noble about Indian vegetarianism. It is not even a Hindu custom. If we have to name one, it is mostly a Jain custom. Societies have to go through fads and mass hysteria from time to time. This is one such thing. Again kudos to Sujai for the well reasoned articles on food and nutrition.<br /><br />P.

The disgust to eat meat also has a deeper propensity than cast. Ban on egg is not justifiable and violates individual rights especially if one uses religion as a pretext in a secular country. Morality cannot be imposed here.<br /><br />I have noticed many times that casteism is more cultural + intellectual (historic leverages) divide than a social divide. But, out of respect to co exist with other cultures, meat could be separated in source and serving of vegetarian food. It is within the rights of people on the other side. It is just the same feeling a meat eater would get if insects are served with same utensils.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-86998785229259790062015-07-28T08:41:31.419+05:302015-07-28T08:41:31.419+05:30SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ON MEAT-EATING

Rather let those belonging to the upper ten, who do not earn their livelihood by manual labour, not take meat; but the forcing of vegetarianism upon those who have to earn their bread by labouring day and night is one of the causes of the loss of our national freedom. Japan is an example of what good and nourishing food can do.<br />(Complete Works, 4.486-7)<br /><br />All liking for fish and meat disappears when pure Sattva is highly developed, and these are the signs of its manifestation in a soul: sacrifice of everything for others, perfect non-attachment to lust and wealth, want of pride and egotism. The desire for animal food goes when these things are seen in a man. And where such indications are absent, and yet you find men siding with the nonkilling party, know it for a certainty that here there is either hypocrisy or a show of religion.<br />(Complete works, 5.403)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557832102229899829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-25866360889499745832015-07-28T08:34:19.970+05:302015-07-28T08:34:19.970+05:30DOUBLE STANDARDS? RSS CHIEFS USED TO RELISH CHICKE...DOUBLE STANDARDS? RSS CHIEFS USED TO RELISH CHICKEN, MUTTON DISHES<br /><br />An article in the 'Organiser' has embarrassed the RSS, especially since it has exposed the double standards within those ideologically associated with the Sangh. Many leaders of the Sangh are known to relish meat dishes.<br /><br />Till he became RSS Sarsanghachalak in 2009, Mohan Bhagwat used to enjoy non-vegetarian food. I have also seen Balasaheb Deoras having chicken and mutton openly till he became RSS chief. Most RSS pracharaks consume non-veg food. There is nothing anti-Hindu about it, said Dilip Deodhar, a known RSS researcher and the author of 42 books on the organisation.<br /><br />(From Economic Times, 22 July 2015)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557832102229899829noreply@blogger.com
