The present Government is a firm believer in Hinduism.I'm sure it's going to take the initiative in this regard. Why not, ours is a Hindu Rashtra and it's the bounden duty of every Hindu to uphold its religion and the sanctity of its religious texts like Vedas and mythologies. I need not tell you or any other Hindu that Hinduism is one of the oldest religions of the world.
India is a country with diversity. You cannot ban beef in entire country. That is why state governments have the power to ban cow slaughter depending on circumstances in their states.

Bans can be effective if there is will and ressolve. The question is the government havig this will and resolve. Mere mouthing things will not do

Yes it is true that Bahadur shah Zafar had banned cow slaughter. Even earlier there was a selective ban on cow slaughtre during reign of Akbar and Shah Jahan. If these Muslim rulers could look after their hindu subjects, I see no reason why cow slaughter cannot be banned in india.
Cow slaughter should be banned in India. It has a strong link with Hindus and their sentiments. Where else cow slaughter can be banned if not in Hindustan, the Home of Hindus ?
I feel that it is best to leave it with the states to either ban or not depending on what the majority of the people want since we have an inequal distribution of population ( beef eaters ) in different states .
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
Leaving it to states is a good idea worth considering. Sentiments of one group should not decide.
