Beef supply dwindles in West Bengal as BJP influence grows, altering diets

Al Jazeera reports that beef is increasingly scarce in West Bengal, India, as the BJP's political influence expands in the state, leading to supply disruptions and dietary changes. The report suggests a political shift affecting local food markets, but the extent of BJP's direct role and the scale of the impact remain uncertain. This matters as it signals potential social and economic changes in a region with significant Muslim and beef-consuming populations.
