In a recent statement RPS (Raghuvansh Prasad Singh) of RJD said ‘Hindu sages, ate
beef.’ Tomorrow if it suits his party he might even say Allah preferred poke. RPS
knowingly crossed the line hurting Hindu sentiments. Such silly netas can go to
any extent for vote bank politics. They should not be taken seriously, rather
as opportunist of the rotten kind. They belong to no one, except hustings. Neither
Hindus, nor Muslims should get enamoured by useless netas like RPS. They only
belong to themselves and do not shirk to scathe the sentiments of the masses
through their quirky bayanbazi and I
would leave him as be pendi ka lota
(a vessel without a stable base).
That apart, we need to understand the criticality of times while talking
about, who ate what and why?
In this regard let me take you through the famous incident of Andes
flight disaster.
Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known as the Andes flight disaster that happened in South America, and is
the Miracle in the Andes (El
Milagro de los Andes) was a chartered flight carrying 45 people, including
a rugby union team, their friends, family and associates, that crashed in the Andes on 13 October 1972. More than a quarter of the
passengers died in the crash and several others quickly succumbed to cold and
injury. Of the 27 who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight
were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The
last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after
the crash.
The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh
conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with
starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned,
the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved
in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the
crash when passengers Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found
Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán,[1] who gave them food and then alerted the authorities
to the existence of the other survivors.
The Andes survivors fed
on dead passengers when faced with an onerous situation where they were about
to lose their lives, so does that mean they were cannibals? In the same manner
the sages of ancient times led a life of extreme austerity in tall mountains
and tough conditions, and they may have consumed a crisis diet of beef only to
survive; as to keep yourself safe, and to survive is one of the biggest
obligations of life. So does that mean they were regular beef eaters?
A crisis diet should
not be branded as your normal diet, but as a survival diet supposedly allowed
by a religion. What really matters is your mainstay diet or what you eat on a
regular basis should be labelled as your standard dietary habit.
RPS should know that
food preferences and diets of communities and civilizations don’t change overnight
like political affiliations. In case of Hinduism beef is banned and in case of Islam
pork is banned as a regular religious practice.
Respecting the
sentiments of our brethren, is our duty; however we should not open our little
mouth to vitiate the atmosphere by hurting the sentiments of any community.
RPS thinks if he hurts
Hindu sentiments he will get Muslim votes which may not be true. Muslims are
wise and definitely won’t vote for RJD on beef appeasement.
