Newsclick brings a talk by Professor D. N. Jha on the myth of cow in India. In this part, he talks about the consumption of meat in the old Vedic times. He also tells us how the misconception of cow not being used as food in the ancient India, is being spread by the cow-vigilantes. Watch the first part of the three-part talk.

    “One who partakes of human flesh, the flesh of a horse or of another animal, and deprives others of milk by slaughtering cows, O King, if such a fiend does not desist by other means, then you should not hesitate to cut off his head.” - Rig Veda 10.87.16 "You must not use your God-given body for killing God's creatures, whether they are human, animal or whatever." - Yajur Veda 12.32.90 "One should be considered dear, even by the animal kingdom." - Atharva Veda, 17.1.4 "Those noble souls who practice meditation and other yogic ways, who are ever careful about all beings, who protect all animals, are the ones who are actually serious about spiritual practices." - Atharva Veda, 19.48.5 "The purchaser of flesh performs himsa (violence) by his wealth; he who eats flesh does so by enjoying its taste; the killer does himsa by actually tying and killing the animal. Thus, there are three forms of killing. He who brings flesh or sends for it, he who cuts of the limbs of an animal, and he who purchases, sells, or cooks flesh and eats it--all of these are to be considered meat-eaters."- Mahabharata, Anu. 115:40 "He who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures lives in misery in whatever species he may take his birth." - Mahabharata, Anu.115.47 “Those who are ignorant of real dharma and, though wicked and haughty, account themselves virtuous, kill animals without any feeling of remorse or fear of punishment. Further, in their next lives, such sinful persons will be eaten by the same creatures they have killed in this world.” - Bhagavata Purana 11.5.14 "By not killing any living being, one becomes fit for salvation." - Manusmriti, 6.60

    Rig Veda says that Indra, Hindu god of rain and heaven, ate beef. Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri, a leading Indologist, and expert in Vedic scriptures has discussed *various references to beef in India's ancient and religious texts.* "The Vedas encapsulate the essence of Hindu dharma. They are replete with *instances of sages and even gods consuming beef.* In fact, a guest in a Hindu household used to be referred to - according to the Vedas -as 'goghna' or he who is served beef as part of the hospitality ritual". Academics like Bhaduri and D.N. Jha, the historian from Delhi University who authored The Myth of the Holy Cow, have argued that the Hindu right misrepresents India's ancient history to serve political ends. Speaking to Frontline magazine in 2015, Jha said, *"The cow was neither unslayable nor sacred in the Vedic period."* Bhaduri said that it was *customary for cows to be offered to priests in the Vedic age. In fact, he said, beef was a compulsory offering.* Indra, who Hindus believe is the god of rain and heaven, ate beef, according to the academic. The Rig Veda, he said, mentions that *Indra asks to be served 15 to 20 cooked oxen.* Citing the *Shatapath Brahman, a Vedic text, and Yajnavalkya, an ancient philosopher, Bhaduri, said, "'I eat it (beef) only if it is cooked till it is tender'."* www.huffingtonpost.in/2018/09/25/rig-veda-say-that-indra-hindu-god-of-rain-and-heaven-ate-beef_a_23540853/
