When I found out India has been one of the largest exporters of beef in the world, I was stunned. The perception I – and many Indians like me – always had growing up was that the vast majority of Indians were against beef, but this perception, as I realized, was contradicting the truth. The question, “how did we get here?” didn’t leave my mind. This triggered me to set out to find out how we became one of the largest beef exporters in the world. From the day I initiated this project, and up until its completion, this film has been awakening me.

I urge all the viewers of this film to experience first-hand the truths I have encountered and uncovered in this journey. This film would then serve as a stepping stone for those who wish to spread compassion in our world and bring justice to animals and humans alike.

‘Maa Ka Doodh’ isn’t just a title, it’s a reminder of motherhood. It is a reminder of the mother, among humans and animals, and symbolizes what she endures, produces and gives exclusively and entirely to her children.

I hope this documentary informs our daily choices as a consumer and empowers those voices with the information needed to fight abuse, malpractice and exploitation of animals. I pray this film empowers us all to build a better world for humans and animals alike.
