Farouq, why do not you read the Wikipedia page on beef in India at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_slaughter_in_India. That is where the law stands at present. It can be changed by our state lagislators and parliamentarians. In many places transport of beef is a crime. In 7 states, there is no ban on beef, to eat or to transport, while in 22 states, there are varying rules about slaughter of cows and transport of beef. Where the lynching happened (Uttar Pradesh) the punishment is 2 years in jail and fine of Rs. 1,000 (USD 15), and where the rape is supposed to have happened (Haryana, it is yet not proved to have happened), the punishment is 5 years in jail and a fine of Rs. 5,000 (USD 75).Now lets be reasonable.There is no law that prevents one from eating beef.You can slaughter it in one State and bring it into another State. Is it a crime to eat beef in India?
I am not a supporter of cow-slaughter. I think that is against economics. In a state where beef eating is permitted, the number of cows has increased hugely because keeping cows is economically viable. In states where cow-slaughter is banned (Haryana and Uttar Pradesh), the number of cows has decreased drastically because keeping them is economically unviable. Moreover, if one can eat buffalo meat, pork, fish and chicken, I see no reason why beef should be disallowed. I am a non-vegetarian and would have liked to taste beef. Similarly, I am not in favour of a liquor ban, though I am in favour of strict rules about drunken behavior. Three states ban liquor totally - Gujarat, Bihar and Nagaland (which is one of our Christian majority states). Indian liquor laws are given here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_laws_of_India#Law
