velu Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Most probably Egyptians worshiped cats because their society is agrarian and cats helped them to control the rodents. We hindus worship cow because our society as well depended on cows for its milk and farming. Are we doing the same thing as Egyptians did by blindly elevating the status of the cows ? ps:- someone will bring buffalo here Alam_dar and UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Khaghan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I don't know about cow worship. But Calves (not leg muscles) are darn cute and I played with a baby cow inside the temple premises I recently visited. I pulled it's ears and scratched it's neck and it seemed to like the ladoos that the temple gave me as prasadam. I believe every cute creature be it Kajal Agarwal or a baby cow need to be similarly pampered.

beetle Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Cow worship could be because we move from mother's breast milk to cow's milk hence the association with mother. Waisay most of us drink buffalo milk but poor buffalo gets no reverence. Cricketics, Clarke, velu and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh bling Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The problem is cows need to be bred regularly for milk production. A cows milking age is 7-10 years , after that it can live upto 20 years. So if we add cost of taking care of unproductive cows the cows milk will be twice or thrice of current , which means buffalo milk , imported milk powder will be cheaper . This means end of cow as an animal for dairy farm which will be devastating for poor farmers of India who cannot afford buffalo. On Egypt I don't think they used to breed cats artificially UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stradlater Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 You are right. The importance of cows to Hindus could be traced back to the early Vedic period.Often wars were fought over them and their significance in the early Vedic society could be known by the fact that so many things were given names starting with Gau. For instance, a daughter was known as "Duhitri' since she milked cows. UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is main problem , there is much more demand of buffalo milk than cow because of high fat content , so farmers cannot raise the price for upkeep of cows . BTW in delhi ncr region the difference is Rs. 4 UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is ox not cow , if you hear debates you will hear that oxen are now absolete from North India and in upcoming years they will be absolete from entire India. But even if you use ox for pulling still the problem is same who will take care of old bulls oxen and cows? A farmer that is so poor to afford a tractor can take care of old oxen? beetle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
