A government body was forced to withdraw an appeal urging citizens to celebrate this February 14 not as Valentine's Day, but as"Cow Hug Day," after widespread criticism. The appeal said the intention was to ward off the"dazzle of Western civilization," a reference to cultural influences the Hindu nationalist government apparently deems harmful to the nation.
The government agency's hug-a-cow appeal called them the"backbone of Indian culture… the giver of all, providing riches to humanity" because of their"nourishing nature."
