Why do Indian Vegetarians have a problem with Eggs but not with Milk?

The cow is HOLY in India, most people in India buy the milk from people who take the milk out by hand, and NOT machines, meaning the cow is NOT in pain, lekhin jaab murgi andaa banata hai usko BOHOT ZYADA dhok ahti hai, I am vegan in Canada because the milk is not milked by hand, and I don't expect to make a difference if I stop, I just do this to proove I am not a part.

in SIKHISM/GURMATT WE ARE TAUGHT TO fight THE torture..the tyranny..the injustices..
we DONT RETREAT/HIDE BEHIND something....or close our eyes...

Hindu sadhus felt that family life hindered their spiritual progress..so they UP AND AWAY..to the Jungles forests high mountain caves...GURU NANAK REJECTED this approach as COWARDLY...He declared a SIKH MUST Marry, be a Householder..be responsible to family society and samaaj pay taxes, build roads, pay for development..educate and be educated..etc etc etc..BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED..instead of shutting down and disappearing into the jungles...
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/health-and-nutrition/38699-why-do-indian-vegetarians-have-problem.html

Guru nanak Saw how the FOREIGN HORDES invaded India again and again..looting, burning, raping pillaging..How babar the Mughal came with his Paap ki janjh to loot and plunder...Guru Nanank Ji..STOOD TALL nad was COUNTED...His SIKHS FOUGHT the tyranny, the terror, the injustices...at great cost to their persons...and persevered until success..

IF a SIKH sees a COW being mistreated..its NOT the Gurmatt WAY to.."STOP DRINKING MILK"....its to STOP THE MISTREATMENT...educate the public...make awareness public...

The LINK i provided is to EDUCATE...EMPOWER...and EXPOSE..the Tyranny, the TERROR, the INJUSTICES...being inflicted on our poor friends who cant defend themselves..the SIKH DEFENDS THEM....FIGHTS FOR THEM....BUT not by saying.."OH OK..I will stop eating chicken...beef..pork...horsemeat..dogmeat..frogs.. fish..etc etc..OR if he finds a farmer spraying excessive PESTICIDES on Daal..he says..OH I will STOP EATING DAAL...I wont eat HONEY because the farmers dont treat bees well..etc etc...

BEING VEGAN is the COWARDS WAY OUT..the WAY the SADHUS followed in Guru Times when babar attacked....THIS IS NOT the GURUS WAY....

ALMOST all Indian States have Laws banning COW SLAUGHTER....yet almost 39,000 cows were ritually slaughtered on the streets and public roads of Kerala State on a religious Festival in November 2011....isnt it the DUTY of Kerala Indians to STAND UP for the Implementation of this Law ?? why not ?? Simple answer is most Indians follow the SADHU WAY..not the GURMATT WAY the Gurus taught. Following link is just for info purposes..i DONT agree with everything the author says/writes...

I don't understand this point at all.

-The milk a cow gives is for a calf not for human consumption, eyt we take the calf away so that we can have milk. Is that not painful for the calf?

-How is a chicken laying an egg (which is part of it's NATURAL) cycle painful?

If you are concerned with how they are treated then I suggest buy organic or free range. Same with cow's.

Exactly. My way of dealing with this is buying food from organic sources where I know plants and animals have been treated well.

back to the debate though, I still cannot see logically why Indian Vegetarians drink milk, yet won't eat eggs.

I think at this point of time, most of the people have habits and not philosophies. They do something their parents have been doing all their life, and they might change their habits to benefit themselves. We have so many different examples that we don't know what is the rule and what is the exception.
