[Assam] Beef eating; Much ado over nothing

[Rajib Das]

Whoa...

The "other" religions do disavow their dogmas. Even
when dogma is presented in kinder light as a word of
God, it still is dogma being fudged. They fudge,
disavow, act indignant and do all sorts of stupid
things. Much like the beef thing with, as you say,
"hinduttva" types. 

I guess I did read it.
