Cow: Political Kamdhenu

We all are well aware about the cow 🐮 buzz shrilling all around. Political commentators are rallying for inclusion of "cow is a political animal instead of domestic one" in school textbooks to let children acquaint since their formative age sipping cow milk in place of colostrum filled mother milk after all cow is too mother.
 Presently, increased vigour for Kamdhenu is not only to restore the glory of Bhagirath, who got gift from Indra for his herculean effort of bringing The Ganges to the earth; perhaps PM Modi to revive Ganges glory by unprecedented Ganga clean drive is to do same and hence again putting Cow at centre. Or is it to do something with increase concern for environmental ethics hypothesized around "GAIA Theory " sounding like Gay(cow) which emphasized on our utmost duty toward flora and fauna for not their survival but for ours. 
Upsc aspirants may be ruminating over "economics of animal rearing" beyond its economics to invoke more political economy in the age of increasing cultural entrepreneurship and R&D over Manu mandated dictums to compete with Adam Smith induced capital world. 
Further,  an  armed force, Gau Rakshak Dal  is already in place wandering in nook and corner to witch hunt under the  Cultural AFSPA emanating saffron(kesar milk, symbol of force as saffron revolution claims).  I see if there is any animal really getting protection without Project cow then it is cow again without being national symbol like tiger. 
Also, finding of "Go vigyanshala" based in deolapar village, Nagpur , a national laboratory of cow, I am lucky to be there during my college days and see entire set up, has also been increasingly startling to confound even the best of scientific findings. Let there the feminine cow enjoy her glory when her male counterparts are maltreated, really a very paradoxical case for patriarch Manu manufactured ideology.
