Beef might be really good for the brain, if a statement by Giriraj Singh, Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Minister, is true. Rediff News reported that the Minister has claimed that 9 out of 10 IITians eat beef. “People who have fallen in society eat beef. Out of 10 educated people who eat beef, 9 are from IIT," Singh, the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Nawada, Bihar, said.

Just this week, he’s said that Indian families needs to have two sons each to save a Hindu “population that was “coming down” “Otherwise, like Pakistan, we too will have to keep our daughters under the veil,”he reportedly said.

He also recommended revoking the voting rights of couples with over two children, citing the need for population control.
