in the same way that halal has now become easily available with the muslims havinbg their own abbatoirs and being allowed to kill animals without stunning them, so what would be the first step to take for Jhatka to be given the same status as halal?

which govt body would we need to go to first?

[jaikaara]

pls stress the reason also , that since we find halal very cruel, we prefer jhatka, there has been efforts made by some organisations to ban halal in the UK

There is one Lal Patke Da Jhatka at road from south hall to cranford. Perhaps Local food authorities which provide licence should be contacted. Contact local Sikh solicitors or political leaders like mayor of hounslow, try to take support of Hindus and budhists and pagans like BNP. Visit jhatka.org http://jhatka.org/. Jaikara can help you to contact the web master ravi ranjan Singh. Take help Muslims too has if they find food labelled Jhatka, they may be saved for not having non Halal.

Das used to kill fowl by tearing and twisting thier neck by hands, this was a sin.Akal punished him with spasm in intestine, so das may not be able to take jhatka in future. Such kind of killing was neither Jhatka and worst then Jibbah.

and why would you want to waste this precious life on a cruel act like this ?

Are you serious? That is nuts.

I'd rather go vegetarian.

So you actually think it is okay to cosy up with neo-nazis to get jhatka?

In anycase, given as lots of whites in Briton are going in a rightward direction, I think the last thing some of them want now is more perceived 'concessions' to foreigners. Plus we have the strong possibility of rightwing neo-nazis wading in (acting as if they are on our side) in some stupid attempt to bash Muslims.

Forget any massive 'campaign' type thing. We are a minority whereever we go, don't forget that. Best thing is to try and contact local friendly farmers and arrange for things to done on a small scale first. Just make sure you have a strong, sustainable, local demand before you do all of this. I know where I live there would be enough sales to sustain it for instance.

At the end of the chain is going to be someone (a farmer) who wants to make a living and doesn't really give a hoot about jhatka or patka or whatever.

Don't forget that. Plus who is going to do the slaughtering, gutting and cleaning on a largeish scale?

The word Jhatka comes from Jatt Khana, since it used to be the food of the strong northern indians )

this is one thing that i was thinkning about. Now the way the Nihangs do it, first they wash the goat, then do chandi di war, and then the chatka.

Firstly, does only 1 Chandi di war paath have to be done for all the animals every day?

also isnt it better if its actually a Singh doing the chatka, gutting and preparation?

then, if it was to be done on large scale, obviously it would cause problems in getting Singhs to do the chatka, although creating employment as well.

now what parts of the goat are actually eaten?

[amardeep]

I think people should recite this tuk instead of chandi di vaar when doing jhatka in the west: )

actually amardeep, doesnt additional salt increase risk of heart failure? if we all beans and rice with a nice dose of salt, in the west, especially UK, think of the burden on the NHS.

Do you seriously believe in this?

I know you actually read up on things, surely you can't be that ignorant? Or are you just dying to get the word Jatt in at every opportunity you can? lol

[amardeep]

Haha ever since i read a sikh encyclopedia about jatts I have been challenging myself to get the word jatt in at every opportunity possible haha.

THere is an island in Denmark called Jottland. According to this famous encyclopedia it was named this after jatts immigrated to this island 3000 years ago haha.. THere is nothing the jatts will not claim as theirs.

[amardeep]

Historically the jathedar was always a jatt.. it used to be called Jattdhar (he who carries jatt (pride)) but after the rajputs and tharkans entered the panth they changed the word to jathedar.

[jaikaara]

so u mean even the word izzat must have been associated with jatt ness..

isss jatt

Knowing our lot I bet these guys will quickly become some new 'low caste'. lol

Basically you are talking about an Amritdhari becoming a livestock farmer and then running their own abattoir.

In the west abattoirs and farms usually seem to be separate entities, with the farmer sending his animal to slaughter, not doing it himself. At least that what it seems like according to the TV farm programs I've seen? (I know, I know, hardly indepth research.....)

It does seem a bit strange when you industrialise it like this. I mean it would be hard not to look at a Singh who decapitates dozens of goats a day for a living as somewhat ajeeb...

Maybe the whole jhatka thing doesn't translate into modern mass consumption very well. It would bee very expensive too, seeing as it should be organic type not the 'stack them and pack them' type?

Specialist.
