    You dont see cows on the road because in Kerala, beef is not a taboo. So instead of letting old cows/bulls roam the street and eat plastic, we make economic use of the resource.

      Like the rest of the World cattle is prized for its beef in Kerala. Foreigners are amazed that cattle roam about the streets in most cities of India rather than in a ranch like Texas or California in the US. Barbecue beef and/or steak is the normal food in Europe, Canada, Australia, Argentina etc.

      @@tapangupta7969 it’s our second time in india and we travelled the north last time where cows roam freely. We had no idea that wouldn’t be a thing in Kerala.
      We rarely eat beef ourselves but your right about meet production in the west although it differed a bit in scale between the us and Europe for example 😊

    There is nothing like Muslim area or Christiaan area or Hindu area, we live together . You might have seen places of worship of different religions in very close proximity.
    Jewish community in the olden days (before migration) had good relationship with all communities . An old Jewish lady who died few years back was taken care of by a Muslim family, she was living alone and she didn't like to go to Israel.
    There are more than 40 ethnic communities living in Kochi .

    It is more expensive in Kerala than any other state in India. Comparing just some urban focal points around the country with Kerala, you cannot find the difference but when you do state to state comparision kerala is expensive because of it being a consumer state and a good share of products available are exported from other states thus heigher price for goods. Kerala also have the heighest population density causing the land price to shoot up resulting in higher rents. Daily wage of unskilled workers is also the heighest in the country so service sector is also expensive.
