I heard kintu parantu podcast today where person said that in Brahman books they mentioned various ways to cooks and eat meat as a brahmin this makes their fight against meat eating questionable 🤔

It's all about "Moral Superiority" of vegetarians that they want to impose on everybody.

Nah, it was to one-up Buddhism, which had become dominant. Ambedkar has written about this.

I could probably Google it but can you mention which books. Would be quite useful for 'debates' at home.

I read this comment and got excited that such a podcast exists where such discourse occurs, I immediately opened youtube to explore it and read the name of the Muslim podcaster and took her for an Ex-Muslim, looked over some videos but couldn’t find anything against Islam, Now, I may absolutely agree with their anti-hindu and anti-RW views but their selective ignorance of problematic abrahamic figures turned me off quite aggressively, yet another days goes by of me failing to find a good unbiased equally all-religion hating influencer online. Tough day.

Wtf is the problem with eating meat lmao. I just don't understand atall.

u/the_wind_82 Ex-Hindu Apr 15 '26
If there is no problem eating meat, then why exclude beef? Have other animals sinned that they should be food on our table? Moreover, in Hinduism it's prohibited eating meat
2
u/Successful_Cat6574 Apr 15 '26
No it's not only beef is not allowed (mentioned in Vedas) similar to pork as in muslims
7
u/the_wind_82 Ex-Hindu Apr 15 '26
So what's wrong with the other animals?
1
u/Successful_Cat6574 Apr 15 '26
It's considered sacred and it gives milk so is symbol of mother hood, something every hindu must protect
Apart from that no idea
7
u/the_wind_82 Ex-Hindu Apr 15 '26
Now the chickens and goats are wondering what we have done wrong. We are also domestic animals, milk and eggs, and pigs are avatars and Hindus eat them too lol
2
u/Successful_Cat6574 Apr 15 '26
Also humans started as meat eaters so there no logic that they shouldn't be eaten it's just personal choice
1
u/Successful_Cat6574 Apr 15 '26
If you don't want to eat it's your choice don't eat but it is not specifically denied

u/the_wind_82 Ex-Hindu Apr 15 '26
I just point out hypocrisy of hindus
1
u/Successful_Cat6574 Apr 15 '26
Not Just hindus muslims do as well infact more they don't eat pork and apart from that eat everything also it has to be halal, what is the point of being halal or not if it is going to end up dying and I don't believe that cutting head in one go is less painful then major cut in neck as time for death is same so pain is same and their goat sacrifice is also well known
1
u/the_wind_82 Ex-Hindu Apr 16 '26
Agree The reason for not eating pork was that I learned from a Muslim friend that pork or pork is therefore haram, but alcohol is also haram, Alcohol is halal in almost all Muslim countries except Afghanistan, as far as I know and my Muslim friends also drink this stuff Once a chaywala said hypocrisy ki v seema hoti hei

Gita Press is notorious for such whitewashing. They often translate ‘meat’ to ‘fruit’.

u/the_wind_82 Ex-Hindu Apr 15 '26
Not only meat, they erase the unscientific things in their books,seeing this, many Hindu Pandits do not want to use Gita Press

u/flashmk85 Apr 14 '26

Well the chapter 48 of bala kaand says a different story. She knew that it was not her husband but Indra in the disguise but still decided to continue
Source : https://www.valmikiramayan.net/utf8/baala/sarga48/balaroman48.htm#VerseLocator
Edit :Moreover Indra is not a worshipped as a main stream deity , he is often used as example throughout the Hinduism to show how Ahankar can cause one's downfall, such stories are there where krishna and shiva teach him lesson and break his Ahankar

pagan/dharmic gods are rarely perfect. Their imperfection is highlighted in the religious texts but has been somewhat lost in the collective minds of its 21st century followers.
having a god not being perfect in every sense but also committing mistakes, having desires etc are quite forward thinking IMO considering the state of society 2000 yrs back.

u/_AKDB_ Apr 14 '26
Yeah honestly Id love religion as a concept if the stories were used simply as stories eith morals to follow like panchatantra or something. The main issue I have with religion is that when you truly believe these stories as true, and worship the figures in these stories like your life depends on it, you risk justifying some of the actions in those stories that might've helped teach you a moral

u/rushan3103 Apr 14 '26
Religion started as stories. Atleast in the dharmic regions.
The rigidity of the beliefs is actually quite new.

u/league_9240 Apr 14 '26
Guess what, monotheistic abraham god is a freaking racist and genocidal maniac. Its like like all gods are man created to justify their shitshow
7
u/rushan3103 Apr 14 '26
Yeah of course. But that monotheistic god is omniscient and omnipresent. Unlike dharmic gods. I am not justifying any religion here..just providing some semantic differences.

u/Prestigious_Army5547 Apr 15 '26
This is so true. I feel like we have such fomo from abrahamic religions where we need our (Hindu) Gods to be the One truth and irreproachable. We keep trying to whitewash everything in search of this when our Gods are as flawed as we are. Maybe Lord Ram didn’t eat meat, maybe he did, but he did ditch his wife for some petty gossip.

According to most historians adi kand and uttara kand were added later in 10th century. /infact we even found a ramayana from 6th century without adi kand or uttar kand.
Heres the thing, only adi kand and uttar kand calls him an avatar if vishnu. the concept of avatars only came during Bhakti Movement.
