Holy Cow! What is going on..

Guys, please stop. You'll notice, I have. This is devolving into a pointless argument. You can't reason with unreasonable people.

And I can quote the reverse for you as well - you are anti BJP, and you will defend the others irrespective of what the issue is.

This has nothing to do with the BJP. If congress was doing this I would definitely be voicing my concerns too. But this is not their MO, it IS the BJPs. Fact of life.

irrespective of whichever govt comes to power, it will try to appease the minority, its vote bank and sponsors.

Incorrect. The BJP is appeasing the majority Hindu vote bank with extremist ideas. Yeah, you're right about the sponsors - Ambani-Adani etc.[DOUBLEPOST=1500957315][/DOUBLEPOST]More medieval thinking: http://tech.firstpost.com/news-anal...lead-to-joblessness-nitin-gadkari-391583.html

By that logic, they should ban jackhammers. In one hour's use of one, 10 people could work for a whole day and do the same amount of work. Maybe ban buses too. They carry what, 50 people? Imagine how many taxi drivers could do with those many passengers.

Interesting thread. Got some free time so...

A pig is the smartest animal of them all FYI.

So true. You guys should watch more videos about this one. The first time I heard about this I couldn't believe it. And I even stopped eating bacon for a while lol.

Because we live in the 21st century we know animals aren't gods, NO there is nothing holy about an animal. end of story.

Agreed.

That is not the point. Everyone has the right to believe in his faith. Others has no right to dictate over it.

err isn't that exactly what the BJP and it's fanboys (since they hate the word extremists as they associate only with the Muslim terrorists orgs esp in J&K) are doing and defending? Cow vigilantism and all that?
One thing is for sure, to them a cow's life is now worth more than the life of a human. Glad we don't have such stupid logic here in our region. North East India the best!

This thread exists because Hindu faith and values are bashed. Hindu has been a victim of minority appeasement since decades now. It's a fashion to attack what Hindus believe in.

Wouldn't this definition fit the bjp/rss/vhp our own shiv sena and even congress goons when they use violence and intimidation?

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Yeah, you're right about the sponsors - Ambani-Adani etc

Again, look up the cases of Congress sponsors. They are not very far behind.

Sarcastically speaking, they should ban robots and automation. Imagine that

On a more realistic note, I don't think we will even have the infra needed for driverless cars even in 5 years.

Dude don't bother most members here are on same level as r/india.
Total left wing mentality and they will make fun of people who worships cow but will come on the street if they are not let to play with animals, in however brutal way they want.
So many people on this thread oppose cow worshipping because they are forward thinking "westerners" but heartless animal throat cutting or horn clinging is alright.
They are making it look like worshipping cow leads to mob lynching.

They were happy when congress or may i say your majesty was ruling this country and its poor were living without toilet and electricity, they didn't even bother with issues like these.
They stole more money with all their scams over the years than GDP of some countries.

So you are using a Western technology and Western language to say that our eastern ways are always better?
So the caste system and Sati were honorable institutions as well?

Cow worshipping is the not the main issue.Anyone can worship anything and let others do that well.That is what is meant by secularism.It is not a joke or anti-national mentality that you seem to opine about.

Lynching people or banning cow slaughter for food is akin to what the ragheads do by banning alcohol in the middle eastern dictatorships.Do we really want to go that way?

If you read the above link I am absolutely okay with whatever they are saying about Congress but banning Rabindranath Tagore or Miza Ghalib is the sort of thing we need to watch out for as this is just the beginning.

There was nothing to be happy about Congress.I myself voted for Modi but you need to keep in mind that criticism is the cornerstone of any democracy.

If we just ignore fact based criticism in the name of monolithic national identity then we are on the road to becoming a raghead theocracy ala Saudi Arabia which is the exporter of Wahabi extremism at the root of all terrorist activities in the world today.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

When did i say our ways are the best, im saying let everyone from any religion practice their thing. And these double standards should be avoided that cow worshipping is something to be laughed at and comparing it to sati when many other groups in our country practice similar things which may seem strange.

 

[psyph3r]

It's not bashing but a mockery of the only country in the world to ban slaughtering cows for meat and food consumption because some people think it's a god animal....so with that logic aren't all animals god's creation? What make a cow special.....what is the difference between a cow or a chicken or a pig? A pig is the smartest animal of them all FYI.

Every other animal can be slaughtered and eaten except the cow, that's what is ridiculous and quite frankly sad as hell in this day and age.
This nonsensical double standard of a single animal being deemed holy is total bullshit!

Because we live in the 21st century we know animals aren't gods, NO there is nothing holy about an animal. end of story.

You can't classify an animal to be special and have such crazy laws against killing and eating it.

This retarded ban has not only robbed millions of their livelihood but put minorities lives at risk due to the religious fanatics.

But you rather have human bloodshed in the streets then let some people butcher and eat a stupid cow?

Get real man.

You're confusing hypocrisy with Hinduism, it actually does say that all animals are equal which is why we still have the highest percentage of vegetarians.
Our ancestors understood the underlying unity in everything which is why they left deities in different animal forms like Elephant, monkey, lion, boar etc with the understanding that maybe if they treat animals as Gods they just might learn to treat each other with love and respect as well.
If they consider an animal that chews cud and sits in its own filth as holy maybe they might develop compassion for other living beings, clearly that message has gone over most goons/gaurakshak's heads as well as yourself.

Even a simple Namaste means bowing down to the divinity within the person being greeted which is why we join hands but that hasn't stopped them from bashing people's skulls in just because they're caught transporting cows.
We also have thousands of Goddesses but some of the most gruesome rape cases come out of India. It's the people and their hypocrisy, not the ideology itself.
Who knows, maybe cows are actually special after all - http://www.bbc.com/news/health-40661252

I apologise if I misconstrued your statement in any way.
I was just commenting on the broad strokes of the arguments you made by lumping us into a /r/india and secular group.

Like @psyph3r pointed it out we should live and let live instead of going after someone for selling cow meat.

Belief is a personal thing,not something to be forced down the throats of others.

 

[Mr.J]

And I can quote the reverse for you as well - you are anti BJP, and you will defend the others irrespective of what the issue is.

I've never defended other irrespective of issue. I don't think any of anti-BJP people are pro-Congress. But the politics is a dirty game and BJP plays it with far dirtier and more sinister tactics than any other party. I'd vote for Congress any day if it means keeping BJP out of power.

I think @Julian has already covered your point about appeasement.

I was defending that user you were calling out. I have no love for either parties, I hate the way the UPA panders and bends backwards to the Muslim vote, ditto for the NDA for doing the same to defend Hinduism.

Nobody complained when minority appeasement was the trend. Strange !

That is true.I support the uniform civil code wholeheartedly.

But nobody was being lynched or anything was being banned in the name of minority appeasement as well.

So you to to take the gravity of the situation into account.

 

[Mr.J]

There were and still are literally hundreds of facebook pages to do just that.

 

[meetdilip]

The idea you currently revolt against is the aftermath of minority appeasement. Those who reaped the benefit of minority politics are responsible for the current scenario. If you sow, you will have to reap as well.

Never argue with an ****. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

What about the chicken which is a very close relative of our celibate national bird?[DOUBLEPOST=1501126958][/DOUBLEPOST]lol, I almost wish meetdilip were a masterful troll but it looks like he actually is being honest.
