So now even milk needs a caste certificate? In today's moral marketplace, we’re suddenly told there's such a thing as non-vegetarian milk. Because cows abroad are fed blood meal. This has been happening for decades, but now, it seems our digestive system has become selectively spiritual.
We’ve imported milk powder, white butter, even baby food from countries like Denmark, the U.S., and Australia for years — all without blinking. No one raised a whisk. Now, as stomachs fill and identities tighten, milk too must pass a “purity test.” But here’s the head-scratcher: if this hurts our religious sentiments here, what about 4–5 crore Indian-origin Hindus living abroad — are they doomed to unknowingly sip sin every day? And what about the 4–5 crore Indian families whose income comes entirely from rearing animals for meat? Not to mention the domestic meat industry and exports — which also generate those very "remains" we now judge others for using. So… are we ready for a serious national debate, or will we just keep stirring this selective outrage into our tea?
We’re not purifying our diets. We’re complicating our conscience — one glass of milk at a time.
