[Assam] beef-eating in india

[umesh sharma]

I think most Hindus in the whole world are really concerned that History books term their religious heroes and actions as myths -as mentioned in their numerous texts- even while quoting from these very texts on other non-isses .

  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.

i am not sure what you are trying to say.  who are
indulging in trivialities?  those who are pointing out
that hindus ate beef or those who are trying to ignore
issue that the hindus ate beef?
