Principal signs of the age Kali is that lower caste Sudras i,e. men, without any brahminical culture and spiritual initiation, would be dressed like the administrators or kings and the principal business of such non-Kshatriya rulers will be to kill the innocent animals specially the cows and the bull who shall be unprotected by their masters namely the bonafide Vaishyas or the merchantile community. In the Bhagawat Geeta (B.G. 18/44) it is said that the Vaishyas are meant for dealing in agriculture, cow protection and trade. In the age of Kali the degraded Vaishyas or the so called merchantile men are more engaged as supplying agent to the slaughter-houses than protecting the cow and the bull. The Kshatriyas are meant for protecting the human being citizens of the state while the Vaishyas are meant for protecting the cows and the bulls and utilise them in the matter of producing grains and milk. The cow is meant for delivering milk and the bull is meant for producing grains.* But in the age of Kali the Sudra-class men will be on the post of administrators and the cows and the bulls or the mother and the father without being protected by the Vaishyas will be subjected to be beaten in the slaughter-house organised by the lower caste administrators.

The principal sign of the age of Kali is that lower-caste śūdras, i.e., men without brahminical culture and spiritual initiation, will be dressed like administrators or kings, and the principal business of such non-kṣatriya rulers will be to kill the innocent animals, especially the cows and the bulls, who shall be unprotected by their masters, the bona fide vaiśyas, the mercantile community. In the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 18.44), it is said that the vaiśyas are meant to deal in agriculture, cow protection and trade. In the age of Kali, the degraded vaiśyas, the mercantile men, are engaged in supplying cows to slaughterhouses. The kṣatriyas are meant to protect the citizens of the state, whereas the vaiśyas are meant to protect the cows and bulls and utilize them to produce grains and milk. The cow is meant to deliver milk, and the bull is meant to produce grains. But in the age of Kali, the śūdra class of men are in the posts of administrators, and the cows and bulls, or the mothers and the fathers, unprotected by the vaiśyas, are subjected to the slaughterhouses organized by the śūdra administrators.
