      abstract = {This film takes a wry look at the cultural confrontation  of East and West, as reflected in attitudes towards the  cow. In India, the cow is revered and cared for well beyond  its prime. We see a hospice where cows spend their last  days in comfort. When the BBC reports on the mass slaughter  of cows due to mad cow disease, the Indians are appalled.  One suggests that the British send their sick and old cows  to India for caretaking. When McDonald's opened up in New  Delhi, featuring the Maharajah Burger, there was outrage at  this affront. To many Indians it is a symbol of Western  cultural imperialism -- Western greed undermining  traditional values in India. One elderly maharajah  hopefully observes that the Indian culture has survived  thousands of years and will not succumb to this latest  onslaught.},
