I agree with Mrs. Gandhi's outbursts on the issue of exporting beef to other countries.  It is really a shame to note that India is one the largest markets exporting beef to Muslim countries.  Cow in India needs to be worshiped based on our mythology.  Then how come, the Indian government is keeping a non-touching attitude towards this gruesome killing of a precious and religious animal?  I understand the dependence of livelihood of many people in the meat industry, but at what cost.  The Muslim countries - Bangladedsh or others - are fulfilling their need of beef consumption by importing it from India.  I wonder if those countries are willing to go through a barter system and export hog meat to India in return for getting beef from India.  Does anyone think that the Muslim countries will start slaughtering hogs right away?  The answer is flat 'NO'.  Then why Indian governments - state and federal level - are not shutting down this industry and making slaughtering of cows a federal crime?  Is our economic need more important than the religious sentiments?  Government should assist those who are working in the beef industry to some other areas so that their livelihood is not affected.  But to continue with this practice of killing cows is senseless, aimless and emotionless.  Mr. Modi has full control in both Houses of Parliament and it is an opportune time for him to remedy the current situation without wasting too much time.
