Because India is a largely Hindu country. Hindu's believe that man can be reincarnated as a cow. Therefore, they do not want to kill cows because it might be a relative.

It's part of their belief system. Many Indian families have a cow, it provides all the dairy for the family. An Indian friend of mine once likened eating beef to eating a pet. If you were raised to think cats and dogs are pets would you want to eat one?

a hindu friend told me that since a cow's milk can feed a baby & help it survive, they hold it sacred.
