Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 With due respects to all, do (some) Hindu scholars have nothing more interesting or useful to do than to be debating endlessly on whether their ancestors ate beef or not, when so many more urgent problems are facing the Hindu world and so many more topics of intrinsic scholarly worth are available for exploration and discussion? Would it make any difference to anybody whether beef was eaten or not by ancient Hindus? V. V. Raman January 28, 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 With due respect Sir, Correct understanding of the (cultural) past will provide the key to solve important issues of the day. If only we (actually those wrote India's "history") had not messed up our understanding of our cultural past, we will not be fire-fighting major problems today - like "caste"! So, yes, it is as important that we discuss presence or absence of "beef" in the Vedas...so that the future generations do not get embroiled in the same issues we face and end up repeating our mistakes.
