Subject: CHANDI NO VARAKH.......... Vegetarians pl. read this

couple of years ago, Indian Airlines, the domestic
air-carrier of India had issued instructions to its
suppliers to supply sweet without silverfoil called
VARAKH.

Do you know why?

Silver is widely used for various purposes in the
market today.  Silver is considered precious and its
utility is enormous. The reason behind this is that
silver reflects back 95% of the light energy that
falls on it. The silver foils used for edible purposes
is called VARAKH So what's so special about VARAKH?

This is what I would like to bring to your notice.

If you keenly observe this VARAKH under a microscope
don't be perturbed if you happen to see traces of
blood, stools and saliva of a cattle or ox.

VARAKH is a silver foil and we have no second
questions on this, but to prepare this VARAKH
important parts of the CATTLE/OX is made use
of.

Intestines of Cattle/OX are obtained from the
slaughterhouse. This is obtained after butchering to
death the cattle/ox for beef and the part, which
cannot be consumed: the intestines are pulled out of
the animal and handed over to the manufacturers of
VARAKH. Before handing over the intestines, they are
washed in the slaughterhouse to get rid of the blood
and other remains on these intestines in the limited
facility that is present in the slaughterhouse. We are
not sure how neatly this job is carried out.
Intestines are cut into small pieces and then are
bound together as pages in a notebook.

A silver block is placed in the middle of these bound
intestines,and the whole thing is placed in a leather
bag and sealed. Experts,who know how to make VARAKH,
pound the bag with wooden sticks, till the entire bag
flattens out. The silver block would by this time be
turned into silver foil. This Silver foil would now be
separated from the intestine pack and will be placed
on paper.

This is VARAKH, which reaches the market ready for
use. Even staunch vegetarians, who shy away from egg,
unknowingly consume this as a part of sweet, pan and
arecanut. Some unknowingly consume this because of
the additional taste that VARAKH provides.

Now the question is "Why the intestines of the
cattle/ox? Why not something else?" The reason behind
using the intestines of the cattle/ox for preparing
the VARAKH is because of the elasticity of the
intestines. They do not get cut even after a severe
pounding.

This aspect is brought out in the magazine "Beauty
without cruelty" and the Television show of Maneka
Gandhi, "Heads and Tails". In India, on an average an
estimate indicates that 2,75,000 kilos of "VARAKH" is
consumed. Can you estimate how many cattle/ox are
sacrificed for just a bit of taste?
If you are surprised as I am, after reading this
article please inform as many as possible so as to
ensure that we unknowingly don't consume beef.

Hey keep in touch....
