Is this really true for all hindus? I guess that there are only few who do this act, maybe overpowering the beliefs in a new way.
Didn't know that a cow's life is more precious than with a man

.
one more thing, we are souls, do you think animals don't have souls?
Every life is precious, but human form is the best only because we can realize God, if not, we are juast like animals, satisfying our senses...
And why of all animals, cows? Because cow is on top of the animal kingdom, but mostly because God's favourite creatures/animals are cows, you can live your whole life with only one cow and one bull, and you're set up for life...
In every religion out there, in all the sacred books it is clearly written that God created the animals to be in service for the humans who are the leaders in this earth. What this hindus do, killing someone just for eating beef or cow meat is totally bullshit. Even in a very strict religion like Islam, if someone eats pork which is forbidden to do, they don't kill him or her but just give them a small punishment. Ignorance is not a bliss and I am shocked how in the world Indians are called good engineers or good software developers after doing this kind of bullshit.
In my country when the movie "Natale in India" meaning Christmas in India came out I laugh out very hard at this part you see in the trailer. This rapper try to close in a aggressive way his performance and look what happens in the video below.
