The settlement of Lambani nomads outside Alur village in Osmanabad in drought-hit Marathwada is an assortment of straw huts and shanties. An old cow sits in the hot sun, her ribs jutting. "She can't bear calves, so there's no milk and now, thanks to the beef ban, no one wants to buy her. Since I can't sell the cow I had to sell my daughter Kaveri," weeps Kamalibai Nayak.

Cow is our mother. Not some Lambani girl. As long as the cow is safe, who cares what happens to Kaveri?? Bharat Mata ki jai!
