Jhatka


Jhatka, or Chatka (jhàṭkā IPA: [tʃə̀ʈkɑ]), is meat from an animal that has been intended to be killed instantaneously, such as by a single strike of a sword or axe to sever the head, as opposed to "ritualistic" slaughter (kutha) in the kosher method (shechita) and halal method (dhabihah).

Jhatka is the method of meat production demanded by many Hindus, Sikhs, and denominational Christians, while Zabiha is demanded by the Muslims, and Shechita by the Jews. However, in Christianity it is a subject of debate, as Paul and Barnabas decreed that the non-Jewish believers are forbidden to eat meat with blood and animals killed through strangulation in the New Testament. Hence, in Christian faith the halal/shechita way of slaughter is lawful. The Sikh Rahit Maryada forbids hair-cutting, adultery, the use of intoxicants, and the consumption of meat.

Jhatka (Hindi: झटका jhaṭkā IPA: [dʒʰəʈkɑ]; Punjabi: ਝਟਕਾ (Gurmukhi), جھٹکا (Shahmukhi)) is derived from Sanskrit word Jhatiti (झटिति) which means "instantly, quickly, at once".
