Re: McDonald’s to open first ever vegetarian-only restaurant next to Golden Temple in
India is a land of contradictions. Any Indian religion would not have meat or anything “impure” in the religious place.
But then again, the person who performs bali/sacrifice of different animals including buffalows are brahmins in temples. a temple in calcutta may sacrifice more animals in a day then half of lahore. Weird isnt it?
Though alcohol is strictly prohibited in temples etc but then it is served in many temples.
it is hard to generalize things with india. i know you guys have a perception that Indians and especially brahmins are vegetarians but in general reality is opposite.
Ah, another little known fact, in some temples including holiest of the shrines, the pundits are muslims sometimes.
Updated: at some places hindu kids also go to madarassa and there are more than normal number of muslims in BJP and Shiv Sena.
Updated again: The priest in our local temple is an atheist and he makes it known everytime.
