The mooing cow, for the Mundari, is wealth, social security, dowry, pension, an ATM etc.; above all a bond, social and spiritual. No wonder, like the Hindus they absolutely adore and worship the cows as the most fascinating, gentle and beautiful of animals. Don't be surprised to learn that there is another community whose passion, devotion and a die-hard commitment to the cow far surpasses our home grown champions of the desi cow. The love and worship of the cow that the Mundari tribe of South Sudan in the African continent display is unparalleled. Probably, our most devout among the cow devotees would feel embarrassed when confronted with the devotion of an ordinary Mundari tribe person.
