"Brahmins ..... once had no compunctions against slaughter of animals, including cows, and were the greatest beef-eaters themselves."

Lies, repeated ad infinitum, do not become the truth.

Veteran Member Janaki Jambunathan once quoted pitamaha Bhishma, first reciter of the Vishnu sahasra-naamam, as saying in the Mahaa-Bhaaratham that Brahmins consume beef. When queried she revealed that it was really Manu who originally said so and that Bhishma was only quoting Manu.

To nail what I suspected was a lie, as I had studied Manu smrithi, I challenged Janaki Jambunathan to disclose where and when Manu said so.

Significantly, she has not been able to do so todate.

The lie stays a lie.
