In Kerala there is no restriction in eating beef. We Keralites or Malayalees don't bother about these kind of silly rules. We need beef. Nobody can stop us from eating beef.

A big 'Yes' to the first question. It not illegal to sell beef in India. There is a ban on selling buffaloes in the market for cutting. Almost all people eat beef, except Brahmins and other high castes. Ancient books say that beef or cow meat was included in their diets. There is no ban on beef in India, rest are just folks.

India is predominantly a Hindu nation. For the Hindus cows is what Mother Marry is to the Christians. Cow is the symbol of motherhood and divinity for the Hindus. Therefore they worship cows. They don't eat cows, instead they drink milk, use the ox to plow the land, use the manure to treat the soil. The ancient Hindus saw a lot of benefits of not eating cows. They could other animals for food, however, alive cows provided more benefits then eating cows.

Beef is not banned in India, however, socially and culturally selling and eating beef is now allowed in the northern India, where as in the southern India beef is commonly sold in meat shops and restaurants.

Hindus abstain from eating beef because for the cows are animal form of Goddess Laxmi.

Yes beef is available in India but beef is illegal around temples and religious places because in Hindu mythology cow is worshipped as mother so it is so inappropriate to sell her for just her flesh that's why instead of cow , buffaloes flesh is used ,beef is only eaten my Muslim and people from south india.there is no evidence and proof that say beef was eaten by ancient India . It is banned in india because people's religion is connected with it.

Beef is a type of meat that is derived from cows. In India, the consumption of beef is a controversial and sensitive issue, as cows are considered scared by some religious groups, particularly Hindus. As a result, the sale and consumption of beef is restricted or banned in all states in India.

Yes, beef can be served in India. However, the sale and consumption of beef is restricted in some parts of the country due to religious and cultural reasons. In some states, the sale and consumption of beef is completely banned.

In India, beef is mainly consumed by the Christian, Muslim, and tribal communities. In ancient India, beef was consumed by the upper classes and was considered a delicacy.

The ban on beef in India is mainly due to religious and cultural reasons. The Hindu religion considers cows to be sacred and therefore prohibits the consumption of beef.

Beef can be served in India, but it is not widely consumed or available in many parts of the country. Some states in India have banned the slaughter of cows, which are considered sacred by Hindus, and the sale and consumption of beef may be restricted in these areas.

Yes, beef can be served and consumed in certain parts of India. However, it's important to note that the slaughter, sale, and consumption of beef are regulated at the state level in India, and the laws and regulations vary across different states.

In some states, such as Kerala, Goa, and parts of Northeast India, beef is commonly consumed and is available in restaurants and markets. These states have fewer restrictions on the slaughter and sale of beef.

On the other hand, several states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, and several states in North India, have stricter regulations and may have a complete ban on the slaughter, sale, or consumption of beef. In these states, it can be challenging to find beef, and it may be illegal to possess or serve it.
