" You get a handsome cheque, a glittering trophy and at times enjoy the splash of champagne after winning a cricket tournament. But this cricket team from vadodara got cows as gift after winning a competition. You read that absolutely right. "
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 about the importance of cows.
The Rabri community in Gujarat has been predominantly pastoralists with a close connection with cattle. Though the society has progressed, they still stay close to their roots.
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 ANI.
With the current countrywide turmoil regarding cow and politics around it, the community this year decided to give away a calf each to all the members of the winning team of the tournament.
A player, Raju Rabari said "We want the state to recognize cow as the National Animal, only then can we save them.
He added that all the players were immensely happy receiving such a prize after winning the match.
By this gesture, the Rabari community in Gujarat tried to send a message around the country about the importance of the cow.
