The holy cow and the dairy dilemma ft Yamini Narayanan
For millions in India, the cow is sacred, and many states have laws prohibiting its slaughter. But this raises a question—what do we do with all these cows? And while India reveres the ‘Mother Cow,’ does the cow herself want to mother anyone beyond her own calf? In this episode, host Sandip Roy speaks with Yamini Narayanan about her new book, Mother Cow, Mother India. She unpacks the complexities of India’s dairy industry and the uncomfortable truths consumers often ignore.
Yamini is a Senior Lecturer in International and Community Development at Deakin University, Australia.
