&lt;em&gt;With reports of abandoned cows destroying crops, the state&amp;rsquo;s cow protection panel has proposed penalties on owners who set them free. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bharatiya Janata Party is scrambling to contain the fallout of its efforts to prevent the slaughter of cows, which have distorted rural economies in unforeseen ways. To deal with one unexpected consequence, a Madhya Pradesh government panel has now recommended penalties for farmers who abandon their cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This highlights the incongruity of the effort to impose a cultural sentiment (the protection of cows) with the basic economic fact that someone has to pay for the upkeep of these animals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Cow trade&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, various state governments, many led by the Congress, have enacted laws banning the slaughter of cows as a way of respecting religious sentiments in a country where many Hindus hold the animal to be sacred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s ascent to power at the Centre as well as its near-complete control of governments in what is known as the Cow Belt has added greater urgency to these rules. Some states have passed stricter laws and expanded the ban beyond cows to include other kinds of cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside these initiatives of the government, gau rakshaks, or cow protection groups, appear to have been given tacit support by the BJP apparatus across the country, leading to a series of lynchings of people accused of storing beef or transporting any sort of cattle. Although the prime minister eventually spoke up against the violence, state support to gau rakshaks has continued. In fact, the Centre has brought in new laws that impose many more restrictions on the sale of cattle, conditions that made it unfeasible for most owners to dispose of their animals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The net effect of all this has been to turn the cow from an asset into a liability after a point. Where once farmers would have sold off cows after they stopped giving milk, the sale for slaughter is now mostly illegal and traders are afraid of attempting to acquire the animals. With no avenue to sell their cattle, farmers are choosing to abandon them rather than spend money on feeding the animals with no hope of any monetary return. This in turn has led to masses of abandoned cows that often wander into other farms, destroying crops and prompting an entirely new kind of man-animal conflict.&lt;br /&gt;

To deal with one unexpected consequence, a Madhya Pradesh government panel has now recommended penalties for farmers who abandon their cattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This highlights the incongruity of the effort to impose a cultural sentiment (the protection of cows) with the basic economic fact that someone has to pay for the upkeep of these animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cow trade&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, various state governments, many led by the Congress, have enacted laws banning the slaughter of cows as a way of respecting religious sentiments in a country where many Hindus hold the animal to be sacred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s ascent to power at the Centre as well as its near-complete control of governments in what is known as the Cow Belt has added greater urgency to these rules. Some states have passed stricter laws and expanded the ban beyond cows to include other kinds of cattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alongside these initiatives of the government, gau rakshaks, or cow protection groups, appear to have been given tacit support by the BJP apparatus across the country, leading to a series of lynchings of people accused of storing beef or transporting any sort of cattle. Although the prime minister eventually spoke up against the violence, state support to gau rakshaks has continued. In fact, the Centre has brought in new laws that impose many more restrictions on the sale of cattle, conditions that made it unfeasible for most owners to dispose of their animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The net effect of all this has been to turn the cow from an asset into a liability after a point. Where once farmers would have sold off cows after they stopped giving milk, the sale for slaughter is now mostly illegal and traders are afraid of attempting to acquire the animals. With no avenue to sell their cattle, farmers are choosing to abandon them rather than spend money on feeding the animals with no hope of any monetary return. This in turn has led to masses of abandoned cows that often wander into other farms, destroying crops and prompting an entirely new kind of man-animal conflict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/856768/after-making-old-cows-unviable-to-maintain-madhya-pradesh-wants-to-force-farmers-to-pay-for-them&quot; title=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/856768/after-making-old-cows-unviable-to-maintain-madhya-pradesh-wants-to-force-farmers-to-pay-for-them&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;With reports of abandoned cows destroying crops, the state&amp;rsquo;s cow protection panel has proposed penalties on owners who set them free. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bharatiya Janata Party is scrambling to contain the fallout of its efforts to prevent the slaughter of cows, which have distorted rural economies in unforeseen ways. To deal with one unexpected consequence, a Madhya Pradesh government panel has now recommended penalties for farmers who abandon their cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This highlights the incongruity of the effort to impose a cultural sentiment (the protection of cows) with the basic economic fact that someone has to pay for the upkeep of these animals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Cow trade&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, various state governments, many led by the Congress, have enacted laws banning the slaughter of cows as a way of respecting religious sentiments in a country where many Hindus hold the animal to be sacred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s ascent to power at the Centre as well as its near-complete control of governments in what is known as the Cow Belt has added greater urgency to these rules. Some states have passed stricter laws and expanded the ban beyond cows to include other kinds of cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;With reports of abandoned cows destroying crops, the state&amp;rsquo;s cow protection panel has proposed penalties on owners who set them free. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bharatiya Janata Party is scrambling to contain the fallout of its efforts to prevent the slaughter of cows, which have distorted rural economies in unforeseen ways. To deal with one unexpected consequence, a Madhya Pradesh government panel has now recommended penalties for farmers who abandon their cattle.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Cow trade&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, various state governments, many led by the Congress, have enacted laws banning the slaughter of cows as a way of respecting religious sentiments in a country where many Hindus hold the animal to be sacred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;rsquo;s ascent to power at the Centre as well as its near-complete control of governments in what is known as the Cow Belt has added greater urgency to these rules. Some states have passed stricter laws and expanded the ban beyond cows to include other kinds of cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside these initiatives of the government, gau rakshaks, or cow protection groups, appear to have been given tacit support by the BJP apparatus across the country, leading to a series of lynchings of people accused of storing beef or transporting any sort of cattle.

</em><br />
The Bharatiya Janata Party is scrambling to contain the fallout of its efforts to prevent the slaughter of cows, which have distorted rural economies in unforeseen ways. To deal with one unexpected consequence, a Madhya Pradesh government panel has now recommended penalties for farmers who abandon their cattle.<br />
<br />
This highlights the incongruity of the effort to impose a cultural sentiment (the protection of cows) with the basic economic fact that someone has to pay for the upkeep of these animals.<br />

Over the years, various state governments, many led by the Congress, have enacted laws banning the slaughter of cows as a way of respecting religious sentiments in a country where many Hindus hold the animal to be sacred.<br />
<br />
Since 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party&rsquo;s ascent to power at the Centre as well as its near-complete control of governments in what is known as the Cow Belt has added greater urgency to these rules.
