Against the Cow slaughter – In May 2015, Swami Swaroopanand praised the Maharashtra government’s decision to expand the state’s prohibition on cow slaughter to include bulls and bullocks. He believed that this move would boost milk production, which would help feed the nation’s youngsters. He claimed that the annual slaughter of over twelve crore (or 120 million) cows in the nation needed to be halted. “This Act ought to be put into effect nationwide. Despite the fact that the majority of people in India are Hindus, we produce a lot of beef. It shames us that India is the largest beef exporter. The export of beef ought to be prohibited by law, and cows need to be protected at all costs. In an effort to please Muslims and other minority groups, some political figures opposed the law outlawing the slaughter of cows. It is against Indian and democratic norms to deny the majority milk and give beef to the minority as an inexpensive source of protein. Since milk is an excellent source of nutrition, it is imperative that cow slaughter be outlawed nationwide in order to guarantee milk supply.
