Cow in Indian culture

Years since, it has been believed in the Hindu religion that Cow is more or less revered as the source of food and a symbol of life that may never be killed. With many interpretations made by non Hindus, believes that Hindus worship cows considered to be sacred.

Prior of being sacred, Cows don’t have a charmed life in India. People around the world visit India and see cows in public places being unlashed, unrestrained and unfenced. It’s a false idea to consider cows as gods in Indian culture rather they are being fancied on the name of god. Here’s some more information about the cow in Indian culture.

Hinduism for those visiting India

History of the Sacred Cow

In the past, bulls and oxen were trolled down before the gods as offering and their meat was eaten. This practice was not done to cows that were producing milk. As mentioned in the verse of Rigveda it has been significant that the cow is referred as Devi or goddess and is being identified as Aditi or mother of the gods.

The concept of meat eating still prevailed though one of the scriptures signifies that there is no sin to eating of meat but in turn brings reward in other forms.

Considering cow in providing abundant products like milk, butter and fuel from dried dung. Hindu stopped the practice of eating beef during the fertile period that introduced Buddhism and Jainism. In early century AD the cow was considered as an appropriate gift to Brahmins signifying that killing a cow will symbolise killing a Brahmin. Adding elementary significance to Krishna’s stories in late 10^th century it was reinforced cows as sanctity.

Mythological Significance

It’s admirable to watch at calf that nuzzles for its mother’s udder around the courtyard of most Hindu temple in old streets of Delhi. Hindus have provided shelter locally called goshala for cows just to avoid disrupting traffic, wandering everywhere and feeding on rubbish.

From mythological point of view Nandi, a bull was considered as the most prominent solder in the steed of the Lord Shiva. In other scenario it has been noted to have heard of Lord Krishna that he was horn as a cow herd.

Cows are considered effective to human life as seen in many rural households in India are being recognised as the biggest producer of milk in the world with a support of at least one cow or buffalo. The owner of cow makes the best use of the cow till it pass the reproductive life and after that the owner least cares about further feeding to the cow in no return.

Beef Industry

Considering the case of export of beef, Buffalo makes up to the India’s beef exports but as far cows are considered the cow meat is being banned from being exported but still some trace are found in abroad.

One of the business holders named Mahendra Singh of Aligarh for production of buffalo meat says that the production of buffalo meat has certainly increased to 150 tonnes a day from 100 tonnes around a year ago. The industry works on both secrecy and trust as the company has made a long standing tradition among the Muslim traders.

Qureshi one of the business partner sighted that the business is profitable at its best and will continue to flourish later.

Eating beef in India

Practices related to cow

To the current world cows are considered to be a protected animal in Hinduism and in support Hindus have stopped eating beef. Speaking of present scenario the families in rural areas are now available with only one dairy cow and is being treated as the member of the family. Today, it can be said that the cow in Indian culture is  considered holy and revered.

In rituals the Indians use five products of the cow like milk, ghee butter, curds, dung and urine. Each product being significant in their own way as milk helps in growth of children in a family, dung commonly known as gobar is used a tikal for spiritual cause or as a source of energy for household throughout India.

Despite of being sacred and unique status cows are still not being appreciated in India. From visitors point cows in India are found walking neglected in streets and found dwelling in garbage areas.

To be predictable the cow is honoured once in a year as the Indian celebrate it as Gopastami. With joy and cheers the “cow holiday” is celebrated in India with cows being washed and decorated in temple premises, in hope that her gift of life to continue.

A Travel Guide to Spice Island – Indonesia

If you’re one of those people who can’t wait for travel restrictions to be lifted so you can start going around the world, we get it. And we can’t wait either. And since you’re probably using your spare time to look at options for your next journey abroad we suggest you look at charter cruise options and head to kaleidoscopic Indonesia!

But Indonesia is a country that has over 18,000 islands scattered throughout its category, so you can’t visit all of them in one trip, which is why we would suggest that you start with the Spice Islands, more commonly known today as the Maluku Islands. They’re surrounded by a rich history and are an incredible place to explore for pretty much anyone. That being said, let’s take a look at what they are, where they are, and what you can do when you visit.

The Rich History of the Spice Islands

The islands themselves have been inhabited for thousands of years as a group, and this is actually long before Europeans set foot on them. And one thing that the locals figured out was that the islands were a place with a variety of aromatic plants throughout. The natives used this to encourage the spice trade in order to put the islands on the trade map, and they were rather successful with that.

That being said, the spice that’s “guilty” for this success is nutmeg. Even though you can actually get it now pretty easily, back then, the Spice Islands were the only place that had nutmeg, which is why they got the name. To add to this, when people figured this out, the islands became a point of contention, because having control over them basically meant you had control over the trade monopoly, and that lead to incredible wealth.

Other nations started to establish themselves on the islands shortly after Vasco da Gama and the Portuguese discovered the sea route to India, and of course, the Portuguese were the first to establish themselves as a nation on the islands, which happened in 1512. It wasn’t long until the Spanish, Dutch and British joined them on the islands, which meant the inevitable would happen pretty soon. And of course, there was a war that lasted until 1663, when the Dutch won. This gave them both control over the islands and the territory, and the nutmeg trade. Of course, this didn’t last forever – in 1769 a Frenchman managed to smuggle nutmeg seedlings, and got them to Mauritius. With the Dutch no longer having monopoly and the trade picking up elsewhere, the islands lost a bit of significance.

How Do You Find Them?

The Maluku Islands are also known as the Moluccas, and they’re an entire archipelago. They’re located in eastern Indonesia, within the Molucca Sea Collision Zone. They lie within Wallacea and are east of Sulawesi and the Greater Sunda Islands, so they’re considered to be both parts of Oceania and Asia.

Up until 1999, the islands formed a single province, but they were then split into two provinces. North Maluku is the new province, and it concerns the area between Sula and Morotai, while Maluku province (the existing one) concerns the arc of islands from Wetar, to Buru and Seram.

A thing that separates the islands is religion. Maluku province is predominantly Christian, with Ambon as its capital, while North Maluku is more on the Muslim side. Unfortunately, the Maluku Islands sectarian conflict between the religions has killed thousands and has been the reason for almost half a million people leaving the area.

Things to do When Visiting the Spice Islands

If you’re headed on a cruise, you will probably want to head to Maluku province. Ambon and its surroundings are the prime tourist destination, and you’ve got a whole lot of things to do, so let’s check out some of them.

People who are keen on history and historical architecture should check out Fort Belgica. Built by the Portuguese in Bandaneira, the fortress was initially made during their reign. However, during development, the Dutch obtained control over the islands, which is why the name was changed from the original Benteng Nassau to Fort Belgica. The fort was initially made as a military defense point, as well as a sea traffic monitoring location. Nowadays, it boasts a rather impressive view and is an excellent location to visit if you’re nearby.

Pulau Seram is another island you need to visit, and it’s the province’s largest island. There are a lot of things you can enjoy there, but the most notable is the Sanggar Budaya Seram Museum. This museum will teach you an incredible amount of things when it comes to Maluku Island’s historical and cultural background. If, however, you’d prefer to head to a beach instead, we can wholeheartedly recommend Ora Beach and its variety of stilt bungalows you can enjoy.

If you’d rather get a bit of privacy, the Banda Islands are a great location that’s still within reach if you’re in the area. The best thing about them is that tourists have seemingly yet to discover the beauties the islands offer, which makes them perfect if you want to get a bit of privacy. Of course, you also get an incredibly diverse ecosystem and more or less untouched nature, as well as some of Maluku’s most beautiful diving and snorkeling locations.

And then comes Ambon City, which is the capital of Maluku, and the largest city in the area. It’s a very popular tourist destination, and it’s got a lot of things you can explore. A prime example is all the traditional markets you can visit. Trading is a big deal in Ambon, and each market offers something new. And whatever you need, from fruit and vegetables to fish and meat, everything is absolutely fresh and incredibly delicious. And we shouldn’t forget the vast variety of spices you can also buy – we are, after all, talking about the Spice Islands.

Add to this the amazing locations such as Natsepa Beach, or Liang Beach, which are perfect for sipping a cocktail on the beach, and you’re covered!

Types of Languages in India

India being a land of diversity has numerous clans following various cultures. Each culture relates to different languages. Owing to these varied cultures, there are over hundreds of different languages and thousands of dialects spoken in the country. Many languages have been in existence in India since ancient times while some of which have even become extinct.

India is known for its unique cultural heritage. This heritage comes from different cultures that Indian has and much has to do with the various Indian languages. The languages in India are classified according to the regions of the country. A major part of India speaks and uses the Indo-Aryan languages since majority of the people in India belong to the Aryan race. After this race, the Dravidians rank second in the country. These languages are being in use majorly in the southern part of the country. Other languages include the Iranian languages which have intruded in the country though the north-western neighboring countries of India. The north eastern top border belt has the Tibeto Burman languages in existence owing to the neighboring countries there.  Though India has a host of regional and local languages, the Hindi language, using the Devanagri script is used for almost half of the languages in the country. This is the major reason for declaring Hindi as the national language in India. All of the central government legislatures and workings as well as the Supreme Court proceedings are conducted in Hindi.

The roots of the various language families in India are rooted deep into the pages of history. The majority Indo-Aryan language family has Indo-European roots and also Indo-Iranian or Indo Arab roots. These languages were developed when the European and Persian rulers and kings captured parts of India. These rulers emphasized there languages over their conquered territories which then became an integral part of the lands. The national language of India-Hindi is a good example of modification and mixing of these languages with the original primitive language of India which was the Sanskrit language. Hindi language is an outcome of the fusion of Sanskrit with the Persian and Iranian languages. The major part of the northern region based languages including Hindi is based majorly upon Urdu along with hints of Sanskrit. With the development, the Sanskrit dominance over the northern languages has decreased to a great extent and thereby the Urdu influence has been increased. As Urdu language itself was derived from Persian language, it is safe to say that the northern languages or the Indo-Iranian languages have a Persian influence.

Yet another family of languages which is the second largest family amongst the Indian languages is the Dravidian language family. This family of languages is widely spread within the southern part of India. Many of the languages from this family are developed as an outcome of the modification of the Tamil language which is also a primitive language dating back to the similar time of Sanskrit. As opposed to Sanskrit which was widespread within the major part of India, the Tamil language was well known only in the southern part. The script of majority of Dravidian languages is based upon the Tamil script itself. The case of many Dravidian languages is similar to those of the Indo-Iranian languages. Just the difference is that the intruding language is Sanskrit while the base language was Tamil.

Along with these language families there are other language families which are not that widespread in the country but have relations with the pages of history of the country. These languages include the Tibetan Burman language family which is widely used in the north eastern boundary of India. Yet another example is the Ongan language family which was used in the Andaman and Nicobar areas and is still used in some places of the island.

The country not only has a large number of ancient languages, many of these languages are still spoken today in many parts of the country. The language will change from state to state. Out of all these various languages, Hindi is the most widely spoken and will be the one that you need to learn a few words if you wanted to visit India.

Anthropologists have classified the people of India being composed of one of 6 major ethno-racial groups that frequently overlap with one another due to progressive racial mix-up.

Negroids

Negritos are the earliest of the races to arrive in India from Africa. Currently, they are mostly located in their original ancestral habitat in Andaman and the Nicobar Islands. Tribes include the Onges, Sentinelese, Jarawas and Andamanese. Located in south of the mainland India are the Kodars, Kurumbas, Paniyans and Irulas tribes.

Australoids or Austrics

They are an ethnic group composed of people characterised by brown bodies covered in wavy hair, long heads, low foreheads, thick jaws with small chins. The Indian Austrics have medium height with a dark skin complexion and flat shaped noses. Interactions with Negroids earlier on might explain their dark complexion and the shape of the nose. They are mostly located in Myanmar and islands South East of Asia with their native language used in East and Central of India.

Mongoloids

This ethnic group is found the states of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Assam, Meghalay, Mizoram and Tripura that form North East of India.

Dravidians

The Dravadians are believed to have arrived earlier than the Aryans. The Dravidians can be located south of India. Most South Indians belong to this ethnic group. They share the same ancestors with the Asia Minor, Crete and pre-Hellenic people of Greece. They have greatly contributed to Indian civilisation and have association to the Indus valley.

Nordic Aryans

The last of the six to arrive in India between 2000 to 1500 B.C. Mostly located North and Central parts of the Country.
