Book Summary
About the Book: Sacred Cows and Chicken Manchurian: The Everyday Politics of
Eating Meat in India
Bovine politics exposes fault lines within contemporary Indian society, where
eating beef is simultaneously a violation of sacred taboos, an expression of
marginalized identities, and a route to cosmopolitan sophistication. The recent
rise of Hindu nationalism has further polarized traditional views: Dalits,
Muslims, and Christians protest threats to their beef-eating heritage while
Hindu fundamentalists rally against those who eat the sacred cow. Yet close
observation of what people do and do not eat, the styles and contexts within
which they do so, and the disparities between rhetoric and everyday action
overturns this simplistic
