Basically all Hindus were vegetarian as they respected all living forms on earth and that's how tree worship and animal worship started ...

It'd be amazing, if M'tra govt. showed the same urgency in tending to real problems such as water & power, as they have for the #BeefBan

So now in Maharashtra you can have a beef with someone but you can't have beef with someone.

I've got a beef with this whole no beef thing.

Dear Govt. With beef, let's ban teeth. We can live on vegetable smoothies and this way your politicians can't make hate speeches anymore :-)

Dear Maharashtra Govt, such favouritism! You just lost the entire chicken and goat vote bank.

Dear Paneer....you may have won the battle........

Dear Govt, Question: What if the cows want to fall in love with same sex cows? What about a bull saying behench** in a film? Still banned?

Beef gets banned…on the plus side, less red meat in our diet is a good thing…on the not so plus side…another step towards a theocratic state
