The Karnataka Government passed the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act in 2020 which legalizes a complete ban on the slaughter of cows, bulls, bullocks, male and female buffaloes below the age of 13 years. It has also introduced a definition of beef as flesh of cattle in any form, where cattle means cow, calf of cow, bull, bullock and he or she buffalo below the age of 13 years. The penalties and punishments have been steeply enhanced, withthe ar parent aim to preserve cattle of indigenous breed.
A Cabinet note (obtained through RTI) justifies the Act stating that it will prevent illegal slaughter and illegal transportation, that livestock in the state is decreasing and the Bill will be instrumental in stopping the decline. It is claimed that the Act will prevent farmer suicides and will conserve the Indian breed.
The State government must surely be aware that many vulnerable communities in Karnataka – Dalit, Adivasi, Muslim and other minorities are already in a terrible situation because of the Covid19 pandemic and lockdown. The law that has been passed has taken away the livelihood and essential nutrition of these communities which now face both acute and chronic hunger as well as several nutritional deficiencies along with loss of livelihoods. There are also several instances of these same communities being targeted by communal and casteist forces leading to physical, social and psychological stress. Karnataka has already had several such incidents of communal violence and instead of making all efforts to protect the vulnerable citizens, the government has instead brought a law that further victimizes the same communițies and makes them economically very vulnerable while enabling lynch mobs and self-appointed vigilante groups. This does not create faith in the government.
The law has led to adverse physical, social and psychological consequences for farmers, transporters, slaughter house workers, tannery workers, loaders/unloaders, cleaners, sanitation workers, butchers, small and large eateries, street vendors as well as a whole gamut of services associated with these.
Beef is the cultural food of these same communities and Article 29 assures us of protection of our distinct culture. The diverse food culture of Karnataka is evident and bringing this ban will take away from the rich and nutritious diet eating culture of the State. The right to consume meat of cattle is protected by Article 29(1).
The claim that consuming beef will reduce the indigenous cattle population and lead to illegal slaughter/transportation or farmer suicides is not borne out by facts. In fact in states which do not have stringent cattle slaughter bans, the indigenous cattle have thrived. Not only that, criminalizing a normal, essential activity is what will lead it to go underground and illegal rather than the other way round. So in fact the law itself will lead to a rise in illegal activities. As a farmer leader said “This law is making criminals of all of us who have been in the cattle economy for generations. We get targeted, fined and punished for doing the activity which has contributed to the thriving dairy economy of the State.” The same farmer leader also said that there is a genuine risk of more farmers committing suicide if they are unable to sell their unproductive cattle and buy younger more productive ones.
The groups affected by the ban have categorically said that they respect the Hindu sentiments of the cow, but bringing a blanket ban to cover ox, bulls and buffaloes shows that targeting minorities and Dalits seem to be the bigger agenda.
That apart, beef has several nutritional benefits and is also consumed by several communities in the State. Karnataka has very poor nutrition indicators (see Annexure 1), which is expected to have increased considerably following the prolonged lockdown, Mid day meals and anganwadi meals and rations have not been provided to the children either in the adequate quantity or quality. In this dismal scenario, further taking away a cheap nutritious food such as beef is not scientific. Beef, especially organ meat, is a nutrient dense food that can go a long way in addressing anemia, Vitamin A, B complex, zinc and protein deficiencies see Annexure 2).
We therefore demand that the elected Government take cognizance of the enormous damage to livelihood, nutrition and mental health that this poorly thought out Act has caused and we demand immediate withdrawal. Further we demand that a statement be issued that no person attached to the cattle business will be harassed or threatened or abused for their occupation, cultural or nutritional choices.
We also demand that those citizens of Karnataka who have been devastated by this Act be compensated at the earliest in the interest of justice and due process.
RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF TASK FORCE ON HALLMARKING, JEWELLERS TO GO ON TOKEN STRIKE ON Monday, 23 D AUGUST 2021 New hallmarking process (HUID) for jewellery hallmarking is NOT customer-friendly & against trade, MSME jewellers tell BIS & Govt. of India Customers buying jewellery being tracked through HUID, which jewellers oppose BANGALORE 23 August 2021: Jewellers will go on a token strike on Monday, 23″ August 2021 to protest against the arbitrarily implemented mandatory hallmarking process in the country by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Mr. TA SHARAVANA President KARANATAKA JEWELLERS ASSOCIATION(R) said, “We welcome Hallmarking but not HUID (Hallmarking Unique ID). HUID is a ‘destructive process’ that the current mandatory hallmarking process offers NOO safety of jewellery. The element of cancellation of registration, penal provisions, search & seizure will ultimately bring “Inspector Raaj’ in the industry. The token strike is our peaceful protest against arbitrarily implementation of HUID, which is impractical and unimplementable. HUID is against customer interest and against the principle of ease of doing business. HUID is cumbersome and shall lead to harassment for customers and MSME jewellers. It is also illegal as per laws of land as this process interferes with data privacy and business secrecy of individual citizens. Jewellers feel, by registering with BIS, they have signed their death warrant in terms of losses and loss of livelihood.” Mr.BR PRAKASH SECRETAR KARANATAKA JEWELLERS ASSOCIATION(R) said, “Hallmarking has been made mandatory in 256 districts from 16″ June 2021 and it is estimated that yearly almost 10-12 crore pieces are manufactured in India. In addition, existing stock of almost 6- 7 cr. pieces are yet to be hallmarked. This takes the total count of pieces to be hallmarked in a year to almost 16 – 18 cr. pieces. Current speed/capacity of hallmarking centres is about 2 lac pieces/ day, at this speed it will take almost 800 – 900 days or equivalent to 3 -4 years to mark this years’ production. Currently the new marking system i.e., HUID is taking almost 5 to 10 days to hallmark the products, resulting into complete bottleneck and the industry is on standstill. Further, the higher turnaround period of a manufacturer will result into loss of employment and poor ROI, resulting into increasing cost of jewellery to the consumers. Tonnes of jewellery is lying idle due to delays in the existing hallmarking process and BIS is simply adding fire to our anxiety instead of resolving issues.”
Jewellers have welcomed the hallmarking and the growth in registration has gone to almost 250% from 34,000 to 88000 jewellers, which shows the jewellers commitment towards the consumers. However, the Hallmarking centres have been reduced, as 83 centres has been either suspended or cancelled. The new Hallmarking processes (HUID) involves cutting, melting and scraping of jewellery, which is intended to sell. The entire process of hallmarking is defeated when a jewellery has been damaged. Further, this process eliminates the Instant consumer friendly services, which is the biggest USP of this sector. Removal of jeweller’s name, from the jewellery will be detrimental to the interest of consumers when they wish to sell or exchange for want of identity of jeweller. Hallmarking should be based on point of sale as proposed by jewellers, while all other applications of storage, display, transit, exhibit to sale, manufacture etc, except sell be removed from the BIS Act and Regulation. Not only the consumers are at the receiving end, the 1 crore dependents on the G&J Industry’s livelihood will be at stake due to unimplementable compliances in the new marking process of hallmarking (HUID). The penal & criminal consequences on the jeweller, who has not manufactured or hallmarked the jewellery and sold it like a trader, will eventually result into winding up of businesses in fear of Inspector Raaj which has already begun. The draconian provisions of cancellation of registration for a civil offense is imposed on this trade, where just by a stroke of BIS officer, resulting into loss of livelihood of millions of employees, karigars and their dependents. Indian jewellery is an art form, and they are not homogenous, therefore industry has recommended to increase the Standard. example, for 22kt – 916 to 918. This is the industry’s commitment to offer quality jewellery to the consumers. Despite the jewellery Industry’s continuous demand to consider Niti Aayog’s report on Hallmarking to be a benchmark while framing the BlS Act, which has not been taken into consideration.
