Pork is banned in Muslim countries but import of pork is permitted in many like Dubai. Cow slaughter can be banned but  beef can be permitted. Nothing wrong in it. Let us not control eating habits of others. It is a sin to do so.

This is a good suggestion. But remember in UAE pork sale is not open but in interior of one or twO super markets. Such restrictions need to here also.

@ Singh, In an earlier response, I had shown you through a Map,  stressing that Majority of the Indian states are opposed to Cow slaughter.

 

My straightforward answer is a resounding no!Ban as an instrument to make us morally better people has outlived its usefulness in Indian context. It would be a stupendous folly to ignore the laws of economics.Why can't we think of a ban on sale of unhygenic and diseased meat instead targeting one community or other? If there are meat-lovers among Hindus there are others in other communities.In moral and ethical terms in what ways we are different from others? There are evidences that Aryans ate beef.

There is significant difference between cow and pig; beef and pork. Beef is banned because cow is considered holy and so slaughter is banned. Cow slaughter is an emotional issue. On the other hand, pig is not holy but a dirty and impious animal not worthy of eating. So if some slaughter pig and eat port, there is no anger, no emotion. The pork eaters are only pitied for eating unworthy food.  That is why nobody demands ban on pig slaughter. 

Pork is eaten with relish in many parts of the world including  in India. It is a folly to call pig dirty because a sect feels so. In fact the pig is the most efficient converter of waste into meat. Ban is silly but if majority want it let beef be imported to satisfy needs of beef eaters. 

Cow is a holy animal only for Hindus. But it is not a holy animal for the people of other religion. India is a country which gives equal importance to all religions. Therefore, beef banning is not easy in India even if most of the people in our country are Hindus. 

Other religions are free to eat whatever they want to eat. But it is Bharat. Majority are Hindus. Hindus do not force, other religions what to eat and what not to eat, but Cow slaughter will certainly be banned in India, as there are Hindus in majority. Do you think for a few, beef shouldn't be banned ? Remember majority of the states in India opposed to cow slaughter.

Then why does the government not ban beef alll over India once for all. Why keep the issue in limbo and milk it both ways.
