This year the 3 euro section of the French school of Pondicherry will be working hand in hand with the bilingual section of the French school of Hong-Kong. The name of our Indian project for 2010 is "Living in a Book", because we are indeed living in a book! Our friends from Hong-Kong will create a travel blog.

Animals in PY
Cows are very important animals in Pondy because they are very useful like for milk , agriculture. Indians consume milk on a daily basis, and the cow as a provider of milk, is equated to one's mother . Here cows are everywhere! Because the cow is respected as a sacred animal. People use them to transport that' s why you can see them in streets. Cows are also supported by temples. The cow is still considered the highest in rural. Gandhi became a vegetarian because he felt cows were ill-treated. Such is the respect for the cow. The 15 january is the day when people decorate cows. People who have never been to India have a hard time to believe how indian cows freely roam indian streets. Hindus consider their Indian cows as holy and they are allowed in cities. So you are bound to meet one if you come to Pondy!
