Jhatka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jhatka (literally, killed with a jerk, or hacked) meat (as opposed to kosher or halal, which is killed as part of a ritual), is meat in which the animal has been killed quickly without suffering or religious ritual. Some Hindu's (Rajput's and Kshatriya's) and Sikh religion prescribe Jhatka meat.

Sikhs may not eat meat that is not humanely killed, and many are vegetarian.[1]
