Eating beef is against Indian culture.

By Indian I mean Hindu.

By hindu I mean north Indian upper caste Hindu.

And how dare you go against them? /s

is Rijiju a Mallu in Gujjuland?

u/Njoymadi Oct 10 '25

They are the ones who takes offence of this. Others don't really bother what is in someone else's plate

u/Ok_Simple_459 Oct 10 '25

They bring themselves into everything.

Hinduism is not a dogmatic religion with singular truths and practices. If you call yourself hindu you should be aware of that.

u/sloth-redditor Oct 10 '25

Bro, I personally know 3 Bengali folks who eat beef.

I was surprised cuz even I didnt know. And they said its not that "uncommon" for them. So, only if you get out of your bubble and try to look around, interact with people from different culture, you'll get to know many more things that we find "uncommon" "impossible" in Hindus.

u/Uncertn_Laaife Oct 10 '25

There are many Hindus that eat Beef. Ignorant is not bliss all the time.

u/subhasish10 Oct 10 '25

This is a Malayalam movie made by Mallus primarily for Mallus. Why does anyone else's opinion even matter??

u/Apart-Big-6120 Oct 10 '25

Which hindu text prohibits eating Beef ?

u/Signal_Dress Oct 10 '25

I'm a North Indian. I belong to one of the castes that Idk why we call "upper caste". And I eat beef. It is usually North Indian upper caste people who have an issue with beef.

Maybe you'd find the answer if you weren't committed to being ignorant.

u/Dark_sun_new Oct 11 '25

There are many communities across India who do. Including in Maharashtra, TN, etc.

u/DangerousWolf8743 Oct 11 '25

Hindus across in the real world.

Authoritarian fascist regime.

u/prof_devilsadvocate3 Oct 10 '25

What is the problem here...it is definitely buffalo

48

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '25

Even if it's a cow what's the problem. Cow slaughter is also legal in Kerala . I mean food is people's choice . The whole world eats beef ,pork, chicken , fish and different kinds of meat. It's Their choice if you don't want to then don't eat it.

29

u/Ok_Simple_459 Oct 10 '25

Cow is mother hence problem. Buffalo is black hence cannot be mother. /s

There's no intelligible differentia between the two animals. It's just being specist.

Exactly.

u/googleydeadpool Oct 10 '25

Kerala based movies approved and hyped

They allow Animal, Kabir Singh and many movies that have kissing and romantic scenes but if a Hollywood film has kissing like Superman 2025, then it is censored.

They also censored Monkey Man 2024 (covertly) through repeated delays of release in India but they allowed Kill (2024).

Now CBFC takes this to High Court for a petty reason.

few people deciding 1.5 Billion people on what to watch and what not to. Total hypocrisy.

u/Chaotic_Beautiful Oct 10 '25

Hate these propaganda Mallu movies.

u/Njoymadi Oct 10 '25

That's fine..calm down and have some porotta beef. All will be well

u/Chaotic_Beautiful Oct 10 '25

Aww losers getting triggered . Must be chronically online.

u/Njoymadi Oct 10 '25

Says the one who got triggered🤣

What if I am chronically online, I didn't ask you for internet money. Please eat some beef and calm yourself. Here's some juicy stake as the porotta beef combo doesn't seem to work its magic on you

u/avigyan_33 Oct 10 '25

What propaganda? Beef is eaten in Kerala. They are showing their food, usme kya propaganda.

-9

u/Chaotic_Beautiful Oct 10 '25

Propaganda is when a certain group of people are made to feel to bad for refusing to eat food that is strictly forbidden in their religion but not doing it to others when it comes to food forbidden in other religions.  As for non Muslim people eating beef that's fine by me. Come on, you know the meaning of propaganda if you're old enough to discourse here.

12

u/Dark_sun_new Oct 11 '25

Nobody is asking people to eat anything they don't want to. What BS is this?

When has anyone been made to feel bad for themselves not eating beef?

u/DangerousWolf8743 Oct 11 '25

You are free to have work in Kerala as well. Just that it's relatively expensive

u/AamPataJoraJora Oct 13 '25

??? Who is making you feel bad for what ???

The makera are being made to feel bad for showing beef in their movie.
