People sitting at one place are not able to understand that there may be a different culture in some other place in the world.

For the Mundari, a tribal group living in South Sudan, Africa, the cow is not just an animal but a question of their prestige. What a joke if someone does something bad to their cow. When the cows sleep, the people of this tribe stand guard with machine guns. They wash their heads with cow urine and their hair gets colored due to the uric acid present in it. They clean their teeth with cow dung and also use it in the form of powder. For these people of Mundari tribe, cows are like their family and they do not want to stay away from them at all. They are fed and served so much that the height of the cows is up to 8 feet.
