I am myself a beef eating individual and as such I do not qualify to be a true Hindu.

That is what happenes when one doesn't get a sound Hindu upbringing. One may pass as a Hindu in name, but not in values.
You say you respect all faiths. But you respect all faiths - except Hinduism, I would say, If you are a Hindu and a beef-eater.
Respecting other faiths is integral to basic Hindu thought. But not at the cost of compromising on core Hindu values!!! If that happens, then the all-faith respect is nothing more than simple corruption of faith.
