Answer 2

Mother gives milk.
Cows also gives milk.
Mother milk and cow milk are easily digestible.
Mother is a tamed human being.
Cow is a tamed animal.
Mother is sacred and so the cow.
Mother speaks and the cow cries.
Both are exploited by human being in the name of a certain holy name 'Sacred'.
Cows do survive in India without any problem.
In some other countries they dont. So they are not sacred. Mother also is not sacred in some other countries.
