whoever it was going on about sacred cows in india. you are wrong.
cows are only sacred to hindus and whilst there are a lot of hindus in india there are also a lot of muslims and sikhs. there are also other religions present in a lesser capacity.
the cow is the symbol of laxmi (the hindu goddess of wealth (i think))
anyway, india is not a hindu state and is in fact an exporter of beef.
it is illegal to kill cows in NEPAL, which is a hindu state, although it is still legal to eat beef which has been imported from india.
india IS a third world country by all definitions of the word spend a few months there and you will understand.
i know that this is pretty irrelevant but there you go.
