'Zero intention of integrating': Row over Texas family welcoming 'gau mata' home for housewarming; Indians say better than alcohol party

A video of two cows taking a tour inside a new house on the occasion of housewarming has been doing the rounds as it caught the attention of India-hating Texas commentators who condemned the 'zero intention of integrating'. The video was originally posted on the Facebook page of Texas Gaushala in January this year. "Family welcoming Gau Mata (Mother cow) from Texas Gaushala on the auspicious occasion of their house-warming (Griha Pravesh) ceremony. The sacred presence of Gau Mata during house-warming invites prosperity, protection, and divine blessings into the new home," the post read.

Calling the mindset 'prehistoric', an X handle shared the video which went viral riding on the present anti-India atmosphere in Texas. "When the house is brand new but the mindset is prehistoric. Welcome to Texas: Buy a brand-new million dollar house in a Dallas suburb, then let cows wander across the marble floors like it’s a barn. Zero intention of integrating," the post read, facing equal amount of praise and hatred for Indians and Indian culture.
