THE MONUMENT IN MEMORY OF AN INDIAN COW DEVOTEE
IN BRAZIL
Brazil has a state called Parana where a village by name Krishnanagar has been settled. The road which connects this village to the country headquarters has been named Krishnakumar Road.
In this village a statue of Bhavnagar's Maharaja Shri Krishnakumar Sinhji has been placed on which are inscribed these words in Spanish -
Maharaja Shri Krishnakumar Sinhji, Bhavnagar, India. The man who gave Brazil 'Gir' and 'Kankrej' breed cows. The nation is grateful to him.
Brazil is a large country like India where a huge river, which is greater than our Ganga and Yamuna, the Amazon, flows. A land of forest and agricultural produce. The two South American countries Argentina and Brazil have a huge production of wheat and they also produce milk and milk products in a big way. Very few countries have managed to strike a balance between agriculture and cattle rearing. In the western countries the dairy industry has developed very well.
A distant land like Brazil has honoured an Indian King by installing his statue, because he helped them establish the breeds of 'Gir' and 'Kankrej' cows there. Today in India one hardly finds Gir-Kankrej breed cows
.
