That would be the BJP and others who think that this is a big issue ie:
that they would need to change text books to reflect that ancient Hindus
never ate beef.

All I am saying is that some small segment like the BJP or some Govt.
official/s took it upon themselves to prove or disprove some issue that most
Hindus are either ambivalent or truely don't care whether ancient Hindus did
or did not eat beef.

Yes, like you pointed out earlier, most Hindus might be concerned about beef
eating in today's context.
