Cows are holy and the opposition to slaughter of animals including cows has extensive and ancient roots in Indian history. The movement against killing of cow became popular in the 1880s; Arya Samaj founder Swami Dayananda Saraswati propagated it and Mahatma Gandhi too upheld it.

, 44, is so obsessed with his cows he bathes, eats, watches television and shares his bed with them. The father of two left his family five years back and started living in a religious retreat, about four miles away from his home in Ahmedabad, in Gujarat, India, to spend time with his cows. Earlier this year he spent £20,000 on a wedding for two of his herd, and unbelievably his family appears to be fully behind his new life.
When Vijay first moved to Ahmedabad he fell into gambling but when he started spending time with his cows he changed. He said: 'My love for cows is unexplainable. There's nothing dearer to me than my cows. 'When I'm with them I forget the world. When I'm with them, nothing in the world worries me. 'We've developed a special connection and my family is really happy for me. 'I believe I understand them and they understand me. I share all my joys and sorrows with them.'
The news further adds that Vijay also owns twobulls, six dogs and more than 2,000 other animals including peacocks, rabbits,birds and snakes but he says that his three cows – Radha, Poonam and Saraswati– hold a special place in his heart. In March, last year, Vijay married his cowPoonam and bull Arjun in a lavish function with over 5,000 guests costing himRs 1,800,000 (£20,000). In a traditional Hindu ceremony, Poonam was givenaway to Arjun, with a huge list of gifts. And this year Vijay celebrated theone-month birthday of Saraswati - Poonam and Arjun's calf - who Vijay calls hisgranddaughter. To Vijay – cows are everything as he says, 'WhateverI am today is because of my cows. My financial status, health and personalityall have changed because of them. 'The cow is like our mother. I urgeeveryone to own a cow and see the change it brings to your life.'
