Cow Hug Day in India: The Animal Welfare Board of India has asked people to reject Western customs associated with Valentine’s Day and instead celebrate the occasion by hugging cows, considered religiously sacred. The board has announced that February 14 will be celebrated across the country as Hug the Cow Day.
According to the board, hugging a cow will give you emotional satisfaction and increase both individual and collective happiness. It aims to counter the impact of Western civilization, which the government believes has come at the expense of traditional Indian practices.
