    Because Indians obviously aren't materialistic, selfish, economically-driven people who are willing to hurt other living creatures just to put food on the table. They are a bit more compassionate than that.

    From QI- 'There are no sacred cows in India. The term "sacred" is a Christian one; doesn't really apply to India. Even if it did, it wouldn't apply to cows. There are no cow deities, cow icons, cow statues, and no temples to cows.

    Cows are one of the few animals that are not the object of worship in India..

    Its more to do with the religion of many Indians rather than the country itself.

    Because India has the greatest number and concentration of Hindus than any other country and cows are revered by Hindu tradition.
