				^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^	
Sunday is not a religious day for Hindus. Its Saturday that
most of the Hindus don't eat any kind of meat, not only beef.
Infact, strict followers of Hinduism should not eat meat at all
through out their lives. But, as it is in all religions, people
don't follow religious rules strictly. Still there are good
number of Hindus(even in US) who don't either eat meat or drink
alcohol.

: That way, the government can have detailed records of your religious
