This story is told through the eyes of the cow Mohesh. It speaks of an uneasy, often dramatic, coexistence of Hinduism and Islam in a remote Bengali village. Mohesh, the Cow; to please the God, one religion must worship her, another must kill her. Mohesh is owned by a poor Hindu villager and prayed to as God. When she must be sold, her new owner, a Muslim, sacrifices her in the name of his God.
