-—Right wing Hindu groups say eating beef is not Hindu practice.-—

Right wing? I see traditional Hinduism as closer to left wing, New Age, veganism.

"Right wing? I see traditional Hinduism as closer to left wing, New Age, veganism."

Among the Right Wingers I know precious few of them like to wash in muddy water with the ashes of dead people and fresh cow poop floating by.

Guess we're just not all that enlightened.

Hindu’s had 4 basic castes. Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishna & Shudra. Kshatriya’s are the warrior class and are non-vegetarians meaning they can eat meat. The Shudra’s are the traditional non-touchables, who used to be the poorest people and probably ate anything they could get hands on. The other two castes are vegetarian.

The caste system is very much diluted now, similar to inter-racial marriages on the way up in USA.

Hinduism is anything but “New Age”. Hinduism is FAR OLDER then Christianity.
