Sacred Cow
the Welsh Hindu’s are a peaceful bunch and they love their sacred cows. We kinda like sheep, they are everywhere.
each to his own. :->
vimto!
This is “assimilation.”
Shouldn’t that be, “Holy Cow”.
Perhaps they can arrange for a transfer to New Delhi (where the TB shouldn’t bother them so much) and assign a new upstart young calf to take his place?
Shambo... didn’t that star Warren Beatty and Julie Christie?
They’re “galvanised,” which doesn’t sound peaceful to me.
“Welsh Hindus”? Whatever happened to Baptists?
This multicultural business has gone too far.

That sounds reasonable to me. I think that Hindus really do believe that cows are the Almighty. They are friendly and sincere with their beliefs so I don’t put them down for it. And they are not nor ever to my knowledge bombed anything or anyone.
Well life in the Welsh Valleys kinda gets to you. It’s probably the most excitement they have had for years! :->

You Brits are just too nice :)
This corresponds to the impression I have had about Wales from watching Fireman Sam with my young son. I live in the US and have been to the UK but never to Wales.
Well Fireman Sam is as good an into in Welsh life as any - very funny and full of the small talk that goes on in valley communities.
We are a friendly bunch by and large but a bastion of old school socialist thought (Not me).
Pontypandy rules!
As much as Americans with crucifixes.
““Welsh Hindus”? Whatever happened to Baptists?”
We Baptists would only ask whether it was edible after slaughter and have a barbeque grill already stoked.
TB? Is that some kind of special sauce?
Strictly for the term, what is multicultural about “Welsh Hindu” (Hindu taken as a follower of the religion, not using the term as synonymous with Indian)? (rhetorical—religion is separate from culture [though it can influence it]).
The Hindus (according to the article) are being 'galvanized' to form a human chain to protect the bull. They aren't threatening to blow up a train full of people.
If this was secular, it could be considered a PETA-esque sort of action.
An interesting perspective. A bit on the relativist side, I'd say -- since Catholicism has been a part of western civilization for about 1800 years.
