If you think that in the paragraph below you treated the segment of the population that you considered as "tribals" in the same manner as the rest of the population, then either your articulation is very poor or I read too much into it. I am fairly sure that it is not the latter, but I may be wrong.
Besides, how are you so sure that I am not a tribal? I find it really funny when certain Indians like to talk about what tribes or caste they belong to. I have no idea what is mine and I have no wish to know or find out.

I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, but when someone questions why you do not want cows to be killed - or that most Hindus do not want cows to be killed - I gave a frank answer. I also mentioned that Hindus have among them - Tantriks who eat human flesh ---if you consider that I am glorifying cannibalism - well it is your view.

The fact is that the tribals ( I assume you are from Assam - and not a tribal) from various parts of North East -till recently atleast -- have been eating dogs and other animals -- just like the Chinese. I never said that it is good or bad. You made the judgement.

PS: personally I can eat anything - unless ofcourse you tell is me what it is --maybe even dogs and cats and rats!!

The questions you ask definitely have academic and research value but you do not at all seem to be genuine in your inquest, at least not to me.
