What is the issue?
The gau raksha activism is actually derailing the benefits of India’s white revolution.
How much of India’s milk today comes from cows?
Can indiscriminate slaughter lead to the reduction in cattle population?
But how important really is ease of disposal of non-milking animals for the dairy farmer?
Why can’t he take the animal to a gaushala or pinjrapole (cattle shelters)?
So, is culling or selective slaughter the only solution?
To what extent will laws like the latest one in Gujarat — providing life sentence for cow slaughter and 10-year term for transportation, storage or sale of beef — spoil this seemingly symbiotic relationship?
