One innocent man was publicly lynched over rumors and all the political parties are cashing over the misfortune of his family. The poor, jobless youth is brainwashed in the name of religion to go and kill innocents and the politicians try to cash in the points in the communal clashes. The issue is not beef, the issue is the amount of lies fed into the weak impressionable minds. The parties try to present the cow as a religious symbol and use it to feed the illiterate masses with the ideas of protecting their religion.
The Constitution of India did not talk of taking steps to ban cow slaughter because of religious purposes. The provision is there because of the utility of cow and its progeny in agriculture as India was a agriculture based economy. The provision comes under the head of animal husbandry and agriculture.
The courts have already ruled that the cow is symbolic not for religious purposes but rather because of its commercial uses. Yet, the politicians use it to divide the masses on communal grounds and breed enmity in order to get electoral gains.
