BBC: “A beef-eating festival at a university in the Indian city of Hyderabad has led to clashes between rival sets of students, police say.
They say that Hindus who regard cows as sacred fought with low caste Dalit groups who organised the event. About 1,500 people were fed beef biriyani as part of the festival late on Sunday evening. Dalit groups want beef on the campus hostel menu. Right wing Hindu groups say eating beef is not Hindu practice.
Last year’s event at Osmania University also ended in violence. The BBC’s Omer Farooq in the city says that says there has been tension for a few days now on the campus. Our correspondent says that has been the case ever since organisers announced that the festival – held over the weekend – would go ahead. Right wing Hindu groups soon afterwards declared their intention to stop it.”
