Cows have been highly valued for millennia. They symbolize wealth and status. And their milk nourishes the people.
I don't know if it's the same thing in India. But east Africa and south Asia did have trade long before Europeans came along. A lot of gold came from what is now Zimbabwe, in exchange for spices, textiles, etc.
