India is really incredible. What do you expect when you win a cricket tournament? Some cheques or a trophy or some celebrations but this team from Vadodara received cows as a gift after winning a tournament.
The tournament was organised by the Rabari community in Vadodara. This move sure comes in the wake of controversy regarding cow slaughter as the organisers took this opportunity to raise awareness.
Since the past year, the community devised a unique way to raise awareness about cows by awarding the animal as a prize to the man of the match.
“With this, tournament we want to send a message that cow is a very important component in our society. Rabari community has always protected the cattle as it is our livelihood,” Organiser of the tournament Prakash Rabari told.
They had been a vital part of the cow and political turmoil going around it. A player, Raju Rabari said,
“We want the state to recognise cow as the National Animal, only then can we save them.”
He added that all the players were immensely happy after receiving such a prize after winning the match. By this gesture, the Rabri community in Gujarat tried to send a message around the country about the importance of the cow.
The players were given a cow each for the prize.
