Meat harmful, chant mantra before meals: Class 10 textbook
Rajasthan Board's new physical health and education textbook for Class 10 teaches students a "mantra" to recite before consuming a meal, besides highlighting the "harmful" effects of consuming meat. The book blames meat-eating habits on "lack of social values and virtues in modern life". The book further tells students that food should be eaten while sitting on floor in "aasana".
