Yes these VHP/RRS/whatever minded Indians who left India a few generation back try to follow rituals (and caste system) which make us normal Hindus appear like madmen in the eyes of normal civil societies. I doubt if we ever followed this custom in India (for cows at least). And on what basis does "Pandit Brahmdev Upadhyay" claim to speak on behalf of all Hindus all over the world? He should stick to his VC job

true, ppl say that bhramin hindus think that cows urine is holy but i used think its just a joke, but now after reading this article it seems true, but the sad part of this is these ppl give more importance to animal then humans. in other ways these bhramin hindu's treat a non-brhamin less then an animal.
Guys what is your point in abusing that poor Cow,let her soul rest in peace.I have heard so many leave properties for their pet,so what's wrong in giving good farewell to a departed soul.
After all she was jersey!! I bet she would have made good hamburgers...yummy!! Hindus don't get paap if they eat hamburgers made from non desi cows. All cows born in USA/UK are Christian and therefore should be eaten.

This is a serious offence to christainity,on animals and plats have souls hence cannot be christain.They dont go to heaven after dying.
Yeah its a sacred cow..it is something of importance..In india people are dying of hunger and this cow has been given VIP treatment by VHP..has VHP ever gone to feed poor fellow..70% of hindus acc to caste system are lower caste and upper casete people should hate them..so upper caste people will give more importance to cow than next door lower caste family..going good..

So many people are deing hunger and the governmnet is spending on haj,now islreal yatra,then sposonering jedhai families with pension.
Do you guys understand the plight of Indians living overseas? There are other topics in life for people apart from your usual troubles of pollution, economy etc. This was not just a moment of a cow being slaughtered but also sheds light on some difficult moments Indians face abroad. DONT forget that India is shining because Indians overseas are playing a vital role in it! If we are worried about you guys in India, you can show some courtesy by showing some worry for our concerns, Thank you!

Plight of Indians living overseas? What about the plight of Indians living in India? No one has asked you to leave the country and stay elsewhere. If you are having issues you are welcome back to India. Regarding your belief that India is shining because of Indians overseas - ma'am show me your contribution in that.

By your words it seems like you are a target of hate and that can happen to any individual of any religion and color. Seems like Indians living overaseas need more protection than indians living in india. I am in Toronto and never ever came across any kind of hate targetted towards being indian. In india there is caste and people and animals. some animals we worship and some animals we hate but so much concern for a cow in UK..wow I guess every cow or dog deserves the sacred ritual in the end. Have been in UK, USA and all over Canada and have met thousands of indians eating beef thinking religion and talkin bad about India. Some are here coz they were not able to live down there, some coz they had nowhere to go and some are here coz they wanted to make more money. If a Cow is your concern and not human life than doesnt matter where you are - you will be hated.

Yes sure Rashmi sharma, Indians living abroad should also follow the rules,with so many problems with cows such as Mcd, Foot and Mouth they should also learn that sick animals which can not be cured are also a threat to both Humans and other animals. If British and europiums can slaughter there sick cows with out question in thousands, what is one sick and incurables cow. It should have bee killed long ago sacred or not,it servers no purpose. Learn to live by the law and order of the country you are in, by the way India do not have any law or order. It is a lawless country.

Who asked you to go abroad if you face problems? You left your motherland for greener pastures (Oh! not mentioning cows) and send money to your relatives. Or did you set up huge industry whereby you offered jobs to thousands of Indians?

India is shining because of indians overseas??? thats a joke ... and thats a joke that even NRI appeasing politicians and western governments thought of publically claiming... Guess you are yet another ABCD searching for desi roots in a confused culture that you want credit for india's shinning...
What bearing does this message have for ANYONE? some temple cow died and its ashes are sent to India? Thats great, but its not news material folks - Im sure rediff can do better.

No she was Jersey cow and Belgian too as the article says.. I wonder if that cow as Indian or Hindu enough for the temple. Maybe the priests had to give her a bath in go-mutra (cow piss) from an Indian cow in Varanasi first to let her into the temple. BTW, do the titties of indian cows feel any different from european cows?

well the troubling part is some self proclaimed group and champion seems to act and speak out on the matter representing all Hindus to outsiders. Thats the troubling part.
Admist an environment where issues like economy, internal disptues, recidivisms, terrorism, border disputes, hunger, suicides are yet to be addressed and solved I see this absolutely pathetic and unimportant article. Do the VHP know about an Indian girl suffering from a serious disease in the UK and awaiting her deportation leading to a break in her continued treatment?
