Holy cow is the Scientific, Sociological, Cultural and Religious Heritage
of India?
In
an important decision, the Allahabad High Court has demanded that the cow be
given the status of a national animal, saying that the cow has an important
place in Indian culture. Cow is known as mother in the country of India and is
worshiped like deities. Cow is not just an animal for India, but it is the
center of people's faith. After mother's milk, only cow's milk is considered as
nectar. Cow procreation is the need of the country. The work of conservation
and promotion of cow is not only of any one religion, sect or government, but
cow is the culture of India and the work of saving the culture is the
responsibility of every citizen living in the country. Whether he is a
worshiper of any religion.
The Cow in History and Hindu Tradition and Scientific facts about Indian
cows
The
importance of cow in Hinduism has not remained because India was an
agricultural country in ancient times and it is still today and cow was
considered the backbone of the economy. There are other countries like India,
which have been agricultural, but there the cow did not get as much importance
as in India.
In
fact, there have been some spiritual, religious and medical reasons for the
importance of cow in Hinduism. Cow is the only animal whose everything is
useful in the service of all. Apart from cow's milk, urine, cow dung, ghee,
curd, buttermilk, butter etc. are all very useful. Scientists say that cow is
the only animal that takes in oxygen and releases oxygen, while all other
animals, including humans, take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Plants do
just the opposite. Nowadays the land is also becoming poisonous due to which
the toxicity of the plants growing in it is increasing. For this we have to use
cow dung manure, only then our land can be saved. For this we have to save the
cow.
Why do we Need to Protect our Indigenous Indian Cows
Cow is
the pride of our culture. Many people often take the importance of cow lightly
but are unaware of the fact that the livelihood of crores of families of the
country runs from this cow. Cow service has always been the focal point of
Indian lifestyle and economy. There is no alternative to this for our nation
with specialties like rural head and agricultural head. Gaumata has played a
paramount role in strengthening the dairy sector of India.
Cowmother has been doing the welfare of mankind for centuries. Some time ago,
Justice of Allahabad High Court had also given an important judgment saying that
cow has an important place in Indian culture. The importance of cow has been
highlighted in detail in Indian scriptures, Puranas and scriptures and leaders
and rulers of various religions in India have always talked about cow
protection. Article 48 of the Constitution of India also talks about preserving
the breed of cow and prohibiting cow slaughter. Cow slaughter is banned in many
states of India.
The specialties of Indian cow breeds
Most
breeds give very little milk. Most of them have been specifically developed for
hard work on the farm over the centuries. Hardly 4-5 breeds give good amount of
milk. If we blame other draft breeds for less milk, then it is our fault. Milk
was not a marketable product in the olden days. It was not even needed. Each farmer
had at least 10 -20 animals. Even a meager amount of milk from 5-6 cows of the
herd was sufficient for the consumption of his family. The amazing diversity of
Indian cattle breeds has attracted other parts of the world for centuries. 98%
of the cattle population in Brazil is derived from Indian breeds like Ongole
and Gir. He developed a fine breed called Brahmin by cross breeding with Jibu
breed. Britain has used the genes of Hallikar, an Indian breed, to develop
resistance against foot-and-mouth disease.
Why do Indians love holy cows so much?
ow is the
culture of India and the task of saving the culture is the responsibility of
every citizen living in the country, irrespective of the religion he worships.
33 crore deities have been said to reside in the body of Gaumata. That is
why it has been said in the scriptures that merely by worshiping Gaumata one
gets the fruit of worshiping 33 crore gods and goddesses of the universe. Lord
Buddha attained Buddhahood from the milk made from cow's milk given by Sujata.
The glory of Gaumata has also been sung in the Bible and the Quran. And the
entire cow lineage has been considered essential for the survival, protection,
nutrition, development and promotion of human beings.
