References to ancient Hindus’ beef-eating past deleted from school textbooks

References to ancient Hindus’ beef-eating past deleted from school textbooks
Hindu fundamentalists succeed after three years of disinformation campaign to have offensive chapters deleted from history textbooks that told how ancient Hindus considered beef a great delicacy. For historians, deleting pans of history is an error that eliminates a page of actual history.

Interesting--didn't know eating meat was compatible with Hinduism; then again, Hinduism may have been more monotheistic at one time...
