taking its Hindutva agenda forward, the Vasundhara Raje regime in Rajasthan, the only state government in the country which has a ministry dedicated to cows, has now revised textbooks for government schools to include a chapter in which the cow "writes" a letter to students as a "mother".
Introduced in Hindi textbooks for class V students, the chapter has images of Hindu gods within a bigger picture of a cow, each signifying the benefits humans can earn if they consider cow as their "mother". Addressing students as "my sons and daughters", the letter says: "I give every individual strength, intelligence, long life, health, happiness and prosperity. Those who feel (my importance) consider me as their mother and I love them like my offspring."
The letter further lists cow's contribution to society, saying: "I produce the elixir of life in the form of milk, butter and ghee. My urine and excreta produces medicines, fertilisers and pesticides. My offspring, bullock, helps you in agriculture. I also purify environment by breathing."
Hailing the chapter, 'Gopalan' (cow) minister Otaram Dewasi told TOI, "This is a positive move towards creating awareness on the benefits of the cow..."
This chapter is meant for reading only and no weightage has been given in exams.
