I could give you an acceptable answer but I will certainly not
spoon-feed you. You can either wait for a self-realized answer when
you become a cow in your next life or you can get an answer on "Google

I don't feel like paying the price. However, I found an article on
Wikipedia.com. Here are some excerpts from it:
In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred and its protection is a recurrent
theme in which she is symbolic of abundance, of the sanctity of all life and
of the earth that gives much while asking nothing in return. Most Hindus
respect the cow as a matriarchal figure for her gentle qualities and
providing nurturing milk and its products for a largely vegetarian diet.
Hindus do not worship the cow, a common misconception, yet it holds an
honoured place in society and most will not eat beef in general.
There is no consensus on whether the cow was sacred and forbidden in the
Hindu diet from ancient vedic times.
The cow is called Aghanya - that which may not be slaughtered. It is also
gau. Depending on the interpretation of terminology used for a cow, the cow
may have been protected or offered as a sacrifice and eaten.
Today, in heavily Hindu nations like India and Nepal, bovine milk continues
to hold a central place in religious rituals. In honor of their exalted
status, cows often roam free. In some places, it is considered good luck to
give one a snack, or fruit before breakfast. In holy places where there is a
ban on cow slaughter, a citizen can be sent to jail for killing or injuring
a cow.
It used to be illegal in India to kill a member of the genus Bos, but now,
many slaughterhouses operate in big cities like Mumbai or Kolkata. While
there are approximately 3,600 slaughterhouses operating legally in India,
there are estimated to be over 30,000 illegal slaughterhouses. The efforts
to close them down have so far been largely unsuccessful.
The export trade in Indian leather is worth about $1.7 billion and India's
export share of the leather market has been on the increase. Germany is the
largest importer of Indian leather (19%) followed by the UK (17%).

Dear Dr. Shahib,
Why must you throw insults at me when all I am trying to do is make peace
with Indians and learn more about Indian culture? I believe that one can be
opposed to offshore outsourcing but at the same time not blame India or the
Indian people. Is that okay?
