India And Beef
As you probably know, cows are sacred in India. So it’s probably not appropriate to use the word “beef,” as that’s more of a food related term. So I knew before I came that cows were sacred, but I never got the full implications of that until I got here. For example, it’s illegal to sell beef. That causes a big problem for McDonald’s, which does exist in India, but doesn’t serve hamburgers with beef, only chicken.
Cows own the road in India!
The “Holy Cow” issue also causes havoc on the roads, where cows wander aimlessly, and cause ulcers for the poor drivers, who otherwise drive like teenagers on acid playing a video game. Imagine, screaming down the road, passing bicycles, rikshaws, scooters and motorcycles with reckless abandon, then suddenly being stopped by a lethargic cow. Very inconvenient.
