Not all Indians do - just those that are Hindu. Hindus worship cows because "The cow represents the giving nature of life to every Hindu. Honoring this gentle animal, who gives more than she takes, we honor all creatures."

Indians do not worship cows. Those of the Hindu religion feel that cows are important (perhaps sacred - not certain exactly what their stance on that is). Not all Indians are Hindi.

for the same reasons americans worship dogs and cats. it's satisfying to them. their cultual mythologies provide for connections to the animals (because we are animals ourselves after all) in their own way for their own reasons. you might think that cows are silly animals. perhaps that says more about you than the indian people.

Because they view them as maternal since cows nourish our children with milk once the mother no longer feeds a child with her own milk.

In India they worship just about anything. I had a Hindu show me his pen and tell me that if he made this pen his god and worshipped it, it would be a valid god for him and would help him. They literally worship everything and anything. Kinda sad in my opinion.
