बिना मांस खाए कोई ब्राह्मण रह सकता था, धर्मग्रन्थ मांसाहार को सपोर्ट करते हैं? | The Third Eye

In this episode of Third Eye, senior journalist Pankaj Shrivastava joins Neeraj Jha to examine how food has increasingly become a political issue in India and how the idea of Hindu identity is being narrowed down to dietary choices. The discussion explores a growing trend where what people eat is being used as a measure of their faith and cultural identity, while many other values and principles traditionally associated with Hinduism receive far less attention. Is religion being reduced to a debate over food? What are the social and political consequences of such a shift? A major focus of the conversation is the recent decision in Kashi (Varanasi) to relocate meat shops outside the city. Supporters of such measures argue that they protect the religious and cultural character of sacred cities, while critics see them as an attempt to regulate personal choices and livelihoods in the name of faith. Through historical context, political analysis, and contemporary examples, Pankaj Shrivastava and Neeraj Jha discuss how food politics has emerged as a powerful tool in public discourse. They also examine the impact of these debates on social harmony, individual freedoms, and the everyday lives of citizens. Is the politics around meat and food really about faith, or is it part of a larger political strategy? Why do questions of diet attract so much attention while issues such as unemployment, education, healthcare, and economic inequality often take a back seat? Watch this thought-provoking conversation as Third Eye takes a deeper look at the intersection of religion, politics, identity, and food in contemporary India. #thirdeye #pankajshrivastava #neerajjha #foodpolitics #MeatPolitics #hinduism #varanasi #kashi #indianpolitics #religiouspolitics #socialissues #molitics #politicalanalysis #currentaffairs #indianpolitics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📲 Available on: • Molitics App (iOS) – https://apps.apple.com/in/app/molitic... • Molitics App (Android) – https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... • Website – https://www.molitics.in 📢 Follow us on: • View all Videos :- https://www.molitics.in/moliticsvideo... • Facebook –   / molitics   • Twitter – https://x.com/moliticsindia?s=20 • Instagram –   / molitics.india   • WhatsApp Channel – https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vaa7... 📩 Contact us at: [email protected]
