 | I have seen brahmins in western countries who proudly wear their
religion pretty much on their sleeve and show the outside world their
devout faith. I have no problems with that. Pretty much, most devout
people from any religion would probably like to spread their faith if
given a chance, and to try to justify the virtues of their religion
vis-a-vis other religions.
However, what i find amusing is when these same brahmins wear leather
jackets during winter, or have expensive leather sofas in their homes,
wear sandals made of leather, and to practically use leather products
conveniently wherever!
I always thought that the cow was a religious animal as per hindu
faith. And, if one has to respect the cow, then, isn't it logical that
one must not eat its meat neither use cow products made from its hide.
Why only extend the idealogy only to NOT eating beef or drinking cow
milk? How can one say that their faith does not permit them to eat
beef, but yet, use other products from the same animal? Isn't that
being a little too convenient in their hindu beliefs?
could some VHP/BJP party activists here, please answer this?
thanks

""Only nonbrahmins have monopoly on being hypocritical???""

cow hide?
