But typically, their range is narrow. Kenneth Valpey\u2019s book is not only extremely well-written and engrossing, its range and scope is breath-taking\u2014from Hindu culture on cow-care to the contemporary, from texts to the temporal. It is a story told by someone who is steeped in the bhakti tradition, but testable propositions (such as on the efficacy of bovine products) are examined with the lens of a scientist and empiricist. But the objective of animal care isn\u2019t only about an esoteric ideal. Therefore, towards the end, there are examples of how cow-care works in specific communities. A wonderful book that everyone, not just every Indian, should read. Attitudes of arrogance, fuelled by ignorance, will then be somewhat tempered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013Dr. Bibek Debroy, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India, and translator of the unabridged Mahabharata (Penguin 2015) and other Sanskrit texts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/7c910b79be2c379be5955fd4a12f2dd4\/b1430efd568d6d85-55\/s500x750\/7d7d9aa6ffa3ea050bd8243b62c4a854ee6b8263.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>HH Krishna Ksetra Swami: Today I received another nice endorsement for &lsquo;Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics&rsquo;, this time from Dr. Bibek Debroy, whom I met a few days ago in Delhi:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10650,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[152],"class_list":["post-83792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent-media","tag-nectar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10650"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83792\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
