BJP's misplaced beef about terrorism
by confuzzled dude Mon Sep 15, 2014 9:07 pm
Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi’s pointed reference to milking animals being “slaughtered and illegally traded” seems to have overlooked a couple of significant facts — that India’s cattle herd outnumbers that of the US, Europe and China put together, and per capita beef consumption at less than 2 kg a year is the lowest in the world.
Moreover, meat export is one of the most tightly-controlled trades. There are just 53 registered meat abattoirs and 39 meat processing plants across the country that qualify to export consignments. Meat exports have almost doubled in rupee-terms over the past two years, up from Rs 14,000 crore in FY12 to over Rs 27,000 crore in FY14. And the biggest buyers are southeast Asian countries.
While India, as the minister pointed out, is the biggest beef exporter, having overtaken Brazil in 2012, what she did not mention is that India is home to the world’s largest cattle herd with 327 million head, followed by Brazil (197 million head), China (104m), the US (90.8m), the European Union (86.5m), Argentina (49.3m), Colombia (30.9m) and Australia (29.6m), according to the US Department of Agriculture data.
Also, India’s aversion to beef has translated into meagre 2.1 million tonnes consumption domestically a year compared with 11.5 million tonnes a year in the United States, which has just a quarter of India’s population. A 2012 UN Food and Agriculture Organisation report places India at the bottom of the list of 177 countries on meat consumption, with Luxembourg at the top consuming 136.5 kg per person per year.

Junior Mrs Gandhi has always been a whacko. Her one-point agenda now is to somehow win over the right wing loonies in the hope that their support will get her one and only progeny out of the sidelines that NaMit have dumped him at.
