In a recently shared Instagram video, Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonstrated his everyday practice of feeding the dwarf, indigenous cows and peacocks kept at his government house in New Delhi. The footage, recorded on the eve of Independence Day, shows Modi scattering grain for the birds and offering fodder to the cows, which stand about 70-90 cm tall. He noted that the animals seemed to understand that he would be leaving soon for the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Red Fort, prompting them to come close before his departure. The post added to the growing number of social media moments that spotlight the leader's interaction with these rare cattle breeds.
