Let me put it this way.

I consider that such question can be asked by donkeys only. But then donkeys are not know to be racist and bigots so I wont call you a donkey. I wont insult that poor animal for your idiotic comment.

Now where did you hear this from?
Hindus think on a higher level than others when it comes to God. A Hindu is able to see God in everything and show respect for all of God's creation, even if it's a donkey. The same divine spark in you and me is in that donkey. We are all conected, so if you see the donkey as being less then you are putting yourself down too.

No hindu consider animals sacred. Some hindu sect beleive their ancessors come back to life in the form of animals such as cows. Many other religious secs such as the american indians, south/central indians beleive that the spirits of their ancessors live on in the bodies pf birds and animals.
Hindu are not exactually a beleivein god, but gods and animals are not gods, but carries of the live sof their loved ones after death. or that's my story and I am sticking to it.

the deity that represents the aspect of intelligence of the supreme creator is Saraswati. She is the goddess of knowledge and all literary arts including music, arts, and speech. She is also worshipped as the Goddess of thoughts of truth and forgivings. Many hymns dedicated to Saraswati mention her as a mighty river with creative, purifying, and nourishing properties. As a water goddess, She symbolises fertility and prosperity. She is associated with purity and creativity, especially in the context of literary and verbal skills.

Saraswati is often depicted as a beautiful, fair-skinned woman dressed in pure white often seated on a white lotus which symbolizes that she is founded in the experience of the Absolute Truth.
She is generally shown to have four arms representing four aspects of human personality in learning; mind, intellect, alertness and ego., holding in Her hands:
-A book, which is the sacred Vedas, representing the universal, divine, eternal, true knowledge and her perfection of all the sciences and the scriptures.
-A mala of white pearls, representing the power of meditation and spirituality.
-A pot of sacred water, representing creative and purificatory powers.
-The musical instrument called the veena, representing her perfection of all arts and sciences
in hinduism, everything has a SYMBOLIC importance. all the gods and godesses that make people consider hinduism polytheist are in fact, REPRESENTATIONS OF THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE SUPREME CREATOR.
dont fall into the trap of believing stereotypes

I thought it was Ganesh (which I associate with an elephant). I do have it on good authority that, unlike other countries, they have never elected a donkey to higher office.
