Correction, in secular India you can legally kill a cow(except may be in Gujarat, where you can't even find damn chicken. So no fairness issues there). Just not in public. The reason as it goes is that it hurts the religious sentiments of a certain community. But then again, most Indian cities have laws/proposed laws that say slaughter houses(even for chicken and lamb) have to be outside city limits(This is apparently because some people dont like to see animals killed before them. They would rather just each the chicken without ever sparing thought as to where it came from). If you think the 'hurts the religious sentiments' applies just for Hindus, you are mistaken again. India also did not allow the publishing of the Prophet cartoons.
If you ask me, this is just stupid. For every simple act of my life, there will be some idiot who will be offended. You should thank the GoI that it protects your crazy people along with my crazy people from getting unduly offended.
That was my point that state care about religious sentiments of peoples before dealing with public nudity, modesty, Alchoal , gambling, drugs, prostitution etc
For example a western should have freedom in saudia Arabia/pakistan to have kissing in public places and wear bikini in public beaches but at the same times strict Muslims don't want to see such scenes in their country as according to them its against the concept of Islamic modesty. Can we make boht happy at the same time? Answer is no. Either you close your eyes when you watch them kissing or flashing their boobs in public or either you stop them doing this in public places and make laws against it. No third choice there and this is true for many things. The case of India is different because it claim to be a secular country unlike iran or saudia who are theocratic State
