Sorry, I just felt like being an asshole.

In all seriousness, I’m aware of a few western books that idolise cows, I imagine a few of them draw from Hinduism at the very least. I hope you find what you’re looking for

It goes back to their caste, Brahmins and those that aspire to be born higher won't go near meat but Kshatriyas and lower don't mind. Kshatriyas in particular did meat so could fight. Whilst the castes might not exist now the moral ideals stemming from it are past down the generations.

See this page from "What Is Hinduism?"

Also, cows were important animals to the ancient aryans, as the primary pasture animals they provided milk for nourishment and for mixing with soma juice. They were representative of natural abundance and the earth itself was sometimes represented by a cow. It's quite an intuitive connection.

Muslims don't eat pork because when Islam came to be, kitchen hygiene was nonexistent in most cities.
Pigs are very likely to have parasites in their flesh, so you always have to cook it well before consumption. For example, dogs can eat most raw flesh, but pork makes them sick.
So they dogmatised basic hygiene to avoid the spread of diseases in the population. Jews did the same with pork, also they don't eat shrimp and there are many other retarded criteria for many religions that are obsolete in today's world.

India has a comparable if not lower rape rate per capita than many western countries (most of South and Central America is way worse too) but because of its 1 billion+ population there are more very-bad cases that make international news. Also beause it doesn't have media restrictions and keep foreign journalists on a leash like China does so the news is never suppressed about them.

Because Indians love their milkies
>And their heads were covered with black curly hair, and their finger-nails were high and red; their hips were fat and round, and their breasts full and deep.
>The helpless and disappointed and sad queens also, with breasts full of milk, also came out suddenly to recover their child.
>"We are full of affection for thee and desirous of giving thee suck. Lo, the milk oozes from our breasts!" On hearing these words, the mighty Mahasena became desirous of sucking their breasts and he received them with due respect and acceded to their request.
>Out of love for me Radha’s breasts poured forth milk immediately. Out of love she cleaned up my excrement.

She's expensive and keeps giving you milkies after mommy stops and also her poop makes your rice and beans grow and she helps plow the fields you plant them in. Just an all-around bro of an animal. Also one of the important gods has a bull as his vehicle/symbol and cattle are associated with other gods and stuff too. You gotta think like a pagan to understand pagans my man.

Indians drink tons of milk and eat tons of yoghurt and ghee and all kinds of dairy products. India was one of two places that independently domesticated cattle and for one or two thousand years or so they've been primarily used for purposes other than meat.
