It's cargo cultism. The Indians are fortunate enough to have preserved no doubt the greatest part of the old Indo-Aryan epics and the ideas conveyed by them in morality and philosophy. Dharma is essentially dead outside India and Tibet in the intellectual sense, and nobody pays much sincere attention to Vedic mythology in spite of strange and interesting contents. The most you get is awful Western quasi-Buddhist libshit peaceniks. Unfortunately, the Dravidians and the various intermixed peoples of India that constitute menial Shudras at best are the last and worst inheritors possible, suitable for the end of an age. The descendants of low peasants, mongrels, slaves, dysgenic man-animals. They venerate, but they do not embody and they certainly do not understand.
The whole Bull of Dharma metaphor, its surrounding interpretation, and the mundane fact that cattle (and the manure they provide) is a rigid backbone of both semi-nomadic and settled civilization translates into 'cows are sacred,' which is then garbled into meaning everything that comes out of them is sacred, in every context. The dung is a gift from heaven because it fertilizes the fields, therefore we must venerate it like the cow it comes from; other holy things like milk and honey are things used for anointment, thus so is the dung. They're studious, but stupid. Fanatic in theory, at least by modern standards, but hypocritical as thirsty pooposting illustrates, and insensate madmen as their polluting anarchy does in like kind.
Modern Indian religion is the Vedic equivalent of a wicker airplane totem. It has the shape and the essence of the real thing, of a lean and powerful skyscraping machinery, but fulfills barely any to none of the function. It's empty, built all wrong. It is a dead construction, with the bare capstone of buried glories as its foundation. It is the Ganges drowning in corpses and ashes, abused as an easy way to heaven 'til its sacredness has run dry. A sad thing to see.
