The sacred ‘rac’ refers to an animal much like the bull in size, strength, and temperament.
An Indian anthropologist, Chandra Thapar, studied a tribe called the 'Asu' which revered the animal as sacred. Despite the high cost of maintaining a rac, the destruction and cost it does to the land, and the fact that rac kill and hurt thousands yearly, the tribe still considers the rac as vital to the survival of their culture.
