We have traveled many times.
Some people see flowers, some see the wind showing the sun.
And I would like to say that the way of life and the nature of agriculture are also interesting and charming.
In addition to cows and bulls, the streets of Indian cities are also home to freely roaming water buffalo. These animals are a common sight, and they are often seen walking around without any restrictions. The native cows of India are well-known as the ancestors of the famous Brahman cattle. Today, purebred Brahman cattle can still be found throughout the country, and they are sometimes used as draft animals to pull carts laden with goods on the city's concrete roads. Another common sight is goats and sheep, which are similar in size to those found in southern Thailand. In Hyderabad, in 2008, goat was the most expensive type of meat, costing 240 rupees per kilogram. Chicken was the next most expensive, while beef was the cheapest of the land animals, with prices recently rising to 100 rupees per kilogram.
The origin of the goats is still unknown, but it is interesting to see how they are raised in this area. They are classified as a type of livestock that does not require any cost. One day, I walked into a community called Setafamati in the city of Secunderabad. There, the goats were enjoying a buffet of various foods after the market had just closed. These goats were free to choose what they wanted to eat. When they saw the mangoes, they had a lot of them, and the ones that were not sold were starting to rot. These goats were able to eat them and get rid of the sour taste in their mouths.
I haven't had the chance to see chicken farms yet, but chicken shops here display caged chickens in front of their stores for customers to see. This is a symbol that the store definitely sells chicken. Most of them are commercial hybrid chickens, not unlike those in Thailand. Some shops also have native chickens, which I have seen in Muslim communities. These shops are large, with two storefronts, compared to butcher shops, which typically only use half a storefront to open their business.
The Indian buffalo is very special to me because its face is different from the familiar Thai buffalo. So we think it looks very cool. Because it is a dairy cow, you can see buffalo milk sold in convenience stores here and it is a best-selling product.
Another commonly seen carrier animal is the camel. Riding a camel is a prestigious affair on the concrete roads, as it offers a higher vantage point. During my time there, seeing camels walking around was truly impressive, although not a frequent sight.
And what cannot be missed, I must say that the cow, or the sacred animal of Hinduism, is not a Brahman. It's just a dairy cow. I looked at it and thought it looked like a Red Dane cow, which is a Danish cow, but it might not be.
One day, the journey helped us learn.
That day we wanted to go every day. The school of learning..............
