But the meat related industry is comparatively less modernized yet. And dealing of meat and livestock is still under hands of Newari-Kasai or Muslims who were traditionally enrolled in that field. Geographical study on livestock and livestock industry in south Asia needs integrated approach, which can cover cultural or social view of livestock relating to caste system, dynamic tradition of south Asian religious culture, and ecological studies related on livestocks.
