The Myth of the Holy Cow (Paperback, New edition)

Dwijendra Narayan Jha, a leading Indian historian, argues that beef played an important part in the cuisine of ancient India, long before the birth of Islam. Beef was very much part of the Brahmanical and Buddhist diet, and the evidence Jha produces from a variety of religious and secular texts is compelling. fundamentalist groups backing them have demanded that the book should be ritually burnt in Public. The Hyderabad Civil Court has already banned the book and the author's life has been threatened.
