Eat More Meat for World Peace

Study Hindu history as a whole. Peaceful my ass. In one year after the Brits left in 47, Indians slaughtered ten times as many of their "brothers" as the famously carnivorous Brits killed during the entire 350-year Raj. The infamous Amritsar massacre of 1919 saw British troops kill 379 Indian protesters. Over one million Indians died in a few months after the Brits washed their hands of the sub-continent in August 1947. And unlike the Holocaust where a relative few participated in the mass murder, this was mass butchery in India. Everyone tried to get a hand in. This from the same people who refuse to swat a mosquito.

Nehru described independence as the moment "when an age ends, and the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance."

Well put. The crack is almost sufficient to forgive Nehru his famous fashion statement. Besides that, southern Indians (the vegetarian part) are the shortest-lived people on the face of the earth.

Lord Mountbatten and Clement Atlee fell for it. But a few saw through the sub-continent’s phony-baloney. I think of sharpers like Keith Richards and Ringo Starr. "Bah HumBug!" these two snorted at bandmates John, Paul, George and Mick who were making pilgrimages to the Maharishi at the time, and taking up the Sitar.

"Ya’ll have fun!" Keith and Ringo waved. "Think we’ll stick it out here in London. Don’t worry 'bout us! We’ll try to get by somehow with the booze, dope and groupies! We’ll make do with roast beef over shredded alfalfa. We prefer paisley wallpaper to cow dung, however sacred. We’ll brace ourselves, grit our teeth and chug champagne instead of our own urine....Ya’ll go ahead and strive for nirvana in the company of a bearded old hustler in a malodorous nightgown. We’ll try for it right here with a few go-go girls!....Have fun mates!"

More love and tolerance here.
