Question

YAccccccc!!!!!!!!!! should you call police if you see a hindue making a reverence to a cow statue? hindues are really weird.

Answer 1

It's just they haven't mastered the art yet of making a Big Mac.

Answer 2

First of all, your question isn't related to Immigration. Second, you should be more tolerant or open to other people's religion and maybe do a bit more research before you begin to judge everybody.

Anyway, here's an excerpt from wikipedia.

In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred and its protection is a recurrent theme in which she is symbolic of abundance, of the sanctity of all life and of the earth that gives much while asking nothing in return. Most Hindus respect the cow as a matriarchal figure for her gentle qualities and providing nurturing milk and its products for a largely vegetarian diet. Hindus do not worship the cow, yet it holds an honoured place in society, and most Hindus do not eat beef.

Answer 3

It's a good system: the poor use/sell the milk, dung is used for fuel, males (bullocks) are the tractors of India. The lowest class in India eats the beef when the cow dies. By allowing the cows to roam free the entire population benefits.

Answer 4

I asked this question to a friend of mine from India. She explained to me that cows are worshipped because they are producers of milk and almost every living thing gets it's start on this earth from milk. Also they are gentle creatures who do no harm to anyone. Hope that works for you.

Answer 5

No, this is a reincarnation belief. Maybe it was their mother, born into the cow or whatever. The police could view this as a prank call.

Answer 6

Not a legit question under the "Immigration" heading. If you can't place your question in the right spot, how could you possibly understand Hindus. (Note the lack of an "e")

Answer 7

Research Hinduism before making a statement you know nothing about.

Answer 8

You ned to read more and research before you judge.
