There are researcha and reports available in public domain where the A2 milk of Pure Indian cow breed is healthier and does not lead to human physiological changes leading to diabetes eg. and now Brazil is one of the leading exporter of Indian breed cow. (One question also arises from where these Indian cow breed went to Brazil and USA). There may be big international conspiracy to wipe out the Indian cow breed and force the Indian to consume the A1 milk produced by Jercy cows or Jercy hybrid. I think this issue has not discussed by and large and make all the Indians educated the real facts.

Well Said ,
This is the real issue, the A2 milk needs to be preserved and the majority of the Indian cows have been packed to US and Mexico. Now one day as the stocks keep piling and India is devoid of the A2 breed cows these guys will open up and talk about the greatness of A2 milk
Kudos and a huge hand to Gauri Maulekhi, a crusader par excellence! The BJP was bold enough to implement the Apex Court diktat while certain political parties are eyeing the media for electoral mileage by protesting tooth-and-nail against a blanket ban on slaughter. Instead of crying hoarse, can they as responsible political entities, educate and ask people to desist from eating meat, for the plain fact that meat-eating is an unsustainable practice and cruel at that? All animal slaughter has to stop at one point in time as our resources are getting depleted faster than we can comprehend. The movie 'Cowspiracy' is bound to help people see the 'other side of the coin', meat-eating has wrecked 'sustainability' and made us modern day 'rakshashaas'.
Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation. Meat-farming robs the commons, the learned Apex Court has to factor the load-bearing capacity of the commons, therein help find an answer to the sustainability of meat-eating. Livestock is responsible for 65% of all human-related emissions of nitrous oxide – a greenhouse gas with 296 times the global warming potential than carbon-dioxide, it stays in the atmosphere for more than 150 years. Even without fossil fuels, we will exceed our 565 gigatons CO2e limit by 2030. Can we 'sustain' ourselves at this rate by wanton meat-eating?
I think they mistakenly allowed this article. This is one of the best article from Rediff. This article is worth reading. If rediff comes out with such article without bias, then rediff will be at top.
The article clarifies the rules and its false assumptions. But not justifying the basic necessity of imposing such rules.
This gives an impression, rules are imposed without having a clear understanding on the age old practices being followed by the farmers and without gaining their confident that it is good for them or at least not doing anything bad for them which is a failure point.
More of theoretical and not practically implementable rule in rural, looks like without a clear problem statement, solution is provided hence inviting more controversial comments. Looking at her age, she would have not got a chance to have a 360 degree view on India unless spent time with rural Indian farmers
