GANDHIJI ON COW PROTECTION “Cow protection is the gift of Hinduism to the world, and Hinduism will live so long as there are Hindus to protect the cow”. Protection of the cow means protection of the whole dumb creation of God. Cow protection to me is infinitely more than mere protection of the cow, the cow is merely a type of all that lives. Cow protection means protection of the weak, the helpless, the dumb and the deaf. Man becomes then not the Lord and Master of all creation but he is its servant. Cow protection is the dearest possession of the Hindu heart. No one who does not believe in cow protection can possibly be a Hindu. It is a noble belief. Cow worship means to me worship of innocence. For me, the cow is the personification of innocence. Cow protection means the protection of the weak and the helpless. As Professor Vaswani truly remarks, “Cow protection means brotherhood between man and beast”. “A Hindu who protects the cow should protect every animal”. He is a poor specimen of Hinduism who stops merely at cow protection when he can extend the arm of protection to other animals.

He is still very active and full of health and vigour. Dare anyone tell him that he probably lacks some vitamins because he never ate meat?
