Mr Raju, thanks for letting us know that cow was a sacrificial animal in vedic times. However, I would like you to furnish us with the relative Richa of that particular veda which says so. If you can't find any such evidence, please don't quote such ill informed article.

In the Vedas there are references to various kinds of sacrifice in which cows were killed and its flesh was eaten. This practise continued in the post-Vedic period, up to the pre-Mauryan period. Gradually, from the Mauryan period onwards references to cow killing begin to figure less in our sources. The Brahmins, who were the main proponents of the sacrifices, now began to discourage and even disapprove of the killing of the cow as they moved from administrative plain to much higher authoritative roles in many kingdoms. Their linked their idea with the idea of Kaliyuga, which is first enunciated in the Mahabharata and the early Puranic texts belonging to the post-Mauryan and Gupta period.
Cow killing was slowly given up due to non-availability of Brahmin slaughterers and beef gradually disappeared from the Brahminical food menu; it now became part of the food culture of the other castes whose number increased over time.
Cow became a more emotive cultural symbol with the rise of the Maratha kingdom and Shivaji, who is considered to be the saviour of Brahmins . This animal became a mark of Maratha Hindu identity mainly during this time. From then onwards, cow has become an important factor in India's communal politics.
So cow killing, associated with many Vedic sacrifices, tended to lose its importance over time. In the post-Mauryan and Gupta periods and subsequent centuries, the Brahminical injunctions discourage and disapprove of cow slaughter. So we are going to the age old caste regime where Brahmanism will rule the state.

When People play politics in the name of religion nothing can be done.Supreme Court or Judiciary normally give their valued opinion and judgement after 20 or 25 years after the incident happened.Let our dear former Supreme Court Judge Mr. Katju wait for another 20 years to give his opinion or judgement on COW and till such timelet him understand ancient Indian Culture and importance of Sacred Cow. Indian Executive and Judiciary is full of selfish people andthat is the reason why dishonesty, corruption, black money etc., etc., are calling the shots. If Indians are successful the credit goes to ourfarmers and businessmen who work 18 hours a day. If we are not successful it is only on account of lethargy and inaction and selfishinterests of our Executive and Judiciary. What is needed is a good self introspection by everyone including former/present exeutive and Judiciary.RAVI--On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 8:25 PM, Koshy M K <koshymelekuttu@gmail.com> wrote:Yes, mother in the shelter and cow in Pooja room, Is that we Indians need to follow?

as "politically motivated", former Supreme Court judge Markande Katju today said
cow was just another animal "which cannot be anyone's mother".
"Cow is just an animal and an animal cannot be anyone's mother,
if I like to eat beef then what's harm in it, even people worldwide consume beef,
if I like to eat then who can stop me..."
he said during a function at Banaras Hindu University here.
Katju said he too ate beef and was not harm in it.
"Are those people across the world who eat beef are bad and only we (in the country)
who don't eat are saints and seers, whats harm in it when people eat beef,
I too eat and will even continue to eat further..." he said.
The former Allahabad High Court judge strongly condemned the killing of the man
in Dadri and demanded severe punishment to those involved in it.
"I too came to know from media and others that an announcement was made
from (inside) a temple that a man eats beef and then mob rushed and lynched that man.
"What could be more unfortunate than this that a man is killed on the basis of
rumour and for no other reason. The culprits must be given severe
punishment at an earliest," he told reporters.
Later, agitated over Katju's remarks, several students staged
protest and shouted slogans against him.
They also tried to block the way of Katju while he was heading to the seminar hall.
Later the security guards shielded Katju and took him wit them.
Iqlakh was dragged out of his home and stoned to death on a village street after a
public announcement from the local temple that the family had slaughtered a calf and
eaten its meat. While Iqlakh died, his 22-year-old son Danish is battling for
life at a hospital following two brain surgeries.
