Che Guevara on his maiden visit to India in 1959,After this visit Che said". One can quite understand that the cow was a sacred animal for the ancient ones: it worked in the fields, gave milk, and even its excreta had the enormous importance of re- placing natural fuel,which doesn't exist here; this explains why their religious precepts prohibited the farmer from killing this precious animal and, for that, the only way out was to consider it sacred; to have such a determining force as religion impose respect for the most efficient element of production which the community counted on."

When Che visited India,He met then Prime Minister J.Nehru,After meeting Nehru Che said "Nehru received us with the amiable familiarity of a grandfather but with a noble interest in the pains and struggles of the Cuban people, giving us
extraordinarily valuable suggestions and assurances of unconditional sympathy towards our cause"
