Once again, organised religions are the cause of polarisation and dispute between communities. However, since in many Muslim countries there is a ban on eating pork (because it is unclean, not sacred), it is not dissimilar in a predominantly Hindu country for there to be a ban on eating beef (because it is sacred, not unclean). The principle is the same. Only the reason for a ban is different. The principle is that the majority imposes its will on everyone else.
But of course, these problems wouldn't exist if meat weren't eaten at all! No more squabbles about who eats what animal. It gives all animals equal status.
