India exports water buffalo meat to Burma. I am not an expert on Hinduism but I don't think that there is anything in Hindu scripture to ban water buffalo meat.

The word COW refers to mature females of many different mammals. For example, seals, cattle, buffalo etc. Both "cows" (cattle) and water buffalo are of the same biological family Bovidae. So for all intents and purposes, they are the same. Anyone seeking to use the literal distinctions as an excuse to eat beef is a hypocrite. An Indian here said he can eat beef as long as it isn't an Indian cow.
