INDIA - While public breast feeding is generally frowned upon in
today's society, hundreds of people are rushing to a village in
 eastern India to watch one particular nursing take place. They flock
to watch a thirteen-month-old infant suckle, not from its mother,
 but from a neighbor's cow. The infant refuses to take milk from its
 mother and instead crawls next door where it feeds from the udder of
 a cow. As cows are deemed sacred by Hindus, which make up 85 percent
 of India's population, scores of worshippers are queuing up to
 worship the child and the cow. The child is getting a head start on
 going out to pick up some milk.
