Transportation of Cattle and Beef ban

• This post is dedicated to transportation of Cattle and Beef ban.
• I will tell you how the BJP and RSS enforce their beef ban politics.
• Firstly I will tell you about myself.
• I am from Odisha and a Brahmin.
• All throughout my life upto 19 years (year 1996) I have eaten only food which was available through my parents or in my surroundings.
• It was fish, egg, chicken, lamb or goat mutton and chicken.
• Then I went to Hyderabad for 2 years for my B.Com and there three or four times I had "Kalyani biryani " near Mozamzahi market which was likely beef.
• Then I went to Mumbai (Bombay) and was there from 1998 till 2002 when I used to have again chicken or egg and only for breakfast I used to have Kheema and pav usually while on the way to office.
• I never used to go "out of the way" to have the meat of choice.
• In Mumbai I also used to order pizza from Smoking Joe's "Meat Feast Pizza".
• Never knew what the meat was in that pizza. 
• Maybe it was beef or maybe it was pork.
• Only Smoking Joe's used to offer that type of pizza. Now I do not know whether it is still in menu.
• Dominoes pizza never offered that pizza. All it offered was pepperoni which was not that nice (tasty) apart from chicken which was available of course.
• Then I went back to Odisha for one year.
• In between I also went to Chennai for about ten months.
• In Chennai beef was available, items like beef chilly and beef fried rice was available.
• In Chennai also available was chilli chicken with bone and it was a welcome departure from what was available in Mumbai.
• In Mumbai chilli chicken or for that matter chicken manchurian consisted of small piece of chicken which was fried along with a batter to make it a big piece.
• Hence what was available in Mumbai seemed like peanuts to what was available in Chennai.
• Everything in Chennai was bigger and better in terms of non veg food.
• And I never have explored the City much. What was available in my locality on the way I used to have.
• In some restaurant in Chennai the guy used to bring a large tray with lots of non veg items and then you made your selection. Even blood was available. Blood fry to be precise.
• In 2004 I came to Bangalore and here beef is available in restaurants and I enjoy having beef here.
• While I am in Bangalore for the last 15 years in the meantime BJP has captured power in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra Gujarat and so on.
• And they have banned the beef consumption in those areas.
• How do they ban beef you may wonder.
• Well the first step to do it is by banning transportation of cattle.
• The reason is below.
• Most of the people who consume beef live in urban areas.
• In urban areas people cannot rear cattle it is just not possible.
• They expect cattle to come from the rural areas.
• When a farmer rears cattle expects to get milk for a few years and then sell the cattle for beef.
• To the persons to whom the farmer sells his cattle they transport them to urban areas
• Now now the BJP strategy is to ban the transportation of cattle altogether.
• Places where the police is weak or inefficient or corrupt they use Gau rakshaks who are nothing but organised gundas goons who can sieze the truck, burn the truck, release the cattle into open fields and even kill the transporter and no questions asked and that is how how the gorakshak function.
• But where the police is strong and efficient the BJP government uses them to enforce what they use the gorakshak for except it is legal and result is that the cattle transportation stops.
• So people are unable to get cattle for slaughter and beef becomes unavailable.
• At the same time they go to the next stage and that is sieze any meat which is available or being transported which they think is suspected beef.
• Ultimately people will have no option but to to switch to other meats like chicken or mutton.
• Mutton is quite costly and poor people cannot afford mutton whereas chicken is not quite the same as red meat.
• Due to religious and emotional reasons people may not prefer pork and hence they will face food starvation because they are used to eating a certain kind of food and it becomes unavailable.
• It is a tragedy and people cannot but be happy that in certain places where there is no such ban it is continuing to be available.
• That will reduce their sadness that at least there is a place in this world or universe where there is no such restriction whether that place is Japan., China , Pakistan or Australia. Places which are free of scumbags like BJP. RSS.
• They may then get satisfaction by watching beef photos or videos on Google, YouTube or Lifestyle channels on TV.
