That’s the thing tho, cows are sacred, buffaloes aren’t.

Also India has huge populations of every type of people including those that do not revere cows (e.g. a Muslim population of 200 million).

If you’re not familiar with that scale and diversity, trying to extrapolate from knowledge of other places is not very effective.
