Vivek Oberoi praises the Bishnoi community's tradition of feeding orphaned fawns in viral video

In the viral video, which is currently making the rounds on social media, Vivek Oberoi suggested looking up the Bishnoi community on Google, noting that a scene like that could not be found anywhere else. He mentioned that in every household, including his own, cow milk was fed to children. He added that the Bishnoi community was the only one where, if a fawn’s mother died, Bishnoi mothers would take the fawn in their laps and feed them milk, just as they did with their children. According to him, such a practice was unique to this community. In his words: 

"Try looking up the Bishnoi community on Google. You won’t find a scene like that across the world. Every household, including mine, feeds cow’s milk to kids. There’s only one community in the whole world – the Bishnoi community – where if a fawn’s mother dies, the Bishnoi mothers take it in their laps and feed them milk like they feed their kids. You won't find this anywhere else in the world."
