Yeah, it’s very weird how cow gained so much importance within Hinduism. I think years ago, animals were considered as currency in many cultures and given the Indian subcontinent’s climate, cow became an important domestic animal to have (helped with farming, provided milk, cow dung was used as manure and as a fuel source). I think that concept seeped into religion.
