**This is a true essay written by a
Bihari candidate at the recent UPSC examinations. The
candidate has written an essay on the Indian cow:
Indian Cow - HE IS THE COW. The cow is a successful
animal. Also he is 4 footed, And because he is female,
he give milks, [but will do so when he is got child.]
He is same like-God, sacred to Hindus and useful to
man. But he has got four legs together. Two are
forward and two are afterwards. His whole body can be
utilised for use. More so the milk. Milk comes from
4 taps attached to his basement. horses dont have
any such attachment ] What can it do? Various ghee,
butter, cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so
forth. Also he is useful to cobbler, watermans and
mankind generally. His motion is slow only because he
is of lazy species., Also his other motion.. [gober]
is much useful to trees, plants as well as for making
flat cakes [like Pizza], in hand, and drying in the
sun. Cow is the only animal that extricates his
feeding after eating. Then afterwards she chew with
his teeth whom are situated in the inside of the
mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the
grass. His only attacking and defending organ is the
horns, specially so when he is got child. This is
done by knowing his head whereby he causes the
weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth
and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards. He
has got tails also, situated in the backyard, but not
like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end
of the other side. This is done to frighten away the
flies which alight on his cohesive body hereupon he
gives hit with it. The palms of his feet are soft
into the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed.
At night time have poses by looking down on the
ground and he shouts. His eyes and nose are like his
other relatives. This is the cow…
We are informed that the candidate passed the exam
and is now an IAS, is Bihar in somewhere.. [sorry
somewhere in Bihar ]
