Muslims not perpetrators of cow slaughter in India: Dharampal

'The British origin of cow-slaughter in India', with some British documents on the anti-kine-killing movement 1880-1894, is the latest book by Dharampal.

He added that even those among the few scholars who have taken some note of this movement, have treated it as a Hindu-Muslim conflict. "But such was not the case, as the documents presented in this book show, that many prominent Muslims as well as the Parsis and Sikhs actively participated in the movement. The fact that the movement was directed against the British and not against the Muslims, as commonly believed, was very clear to Queen Victoria and her high-ranking officers," he pointed out.

It was during the British rule, that cow slaughter took place on a large scale to provide beef to the British troops and civilians. "During Muslim rule in India, the number of cattle slaughtered was not more than 20,000 per year. Mahatma Gandhi in a speech in 1917, said that the British were killing about 30,000 cattle everyday for meat. It was the enormous increase in cow slaughter that alarmed the Hindus of North India and led to the country-wide movement of 1880-1894," he declared.

He suggested that a total ban on cow slaughter may bring us closer to our true Indian identity.
