dont you guys feel disrespected though? just searched for it and yeah apparently you guys dont worship cows but rather consider it as a sacred symbol of life, but still, isnt it kind of annoying for you guys to know that people around the world are just butchering them and serving them as meal?

I guess its come down to tolerance. Here in Indonesia even though the majority is muslim and Indonesia have the largest muslim population in the world, i still can eat pork everyday easily lmao.

No, they are not. Nandi is not a god. Nandi is rather a servant to a god.
There is also no mention whatsoever that cows must be worshipped in Hinduism.
The closest cow figure to a god is maybe Kamdhenu.
The only reason why Indians respect cows (logically speaking) is that cows have very high utility. Its milk is highly nutritious and it can be used in the field for its labour capacity. Even its dung is rather useful as it can be burnt as fuel/converted to green biofuel. Milk is also an essential part of the cuisine and hence its importance. It is generally more profitable to rear a cow rather than kill it for beef and hence the "avoid violence against cows" and borderline worshipping behaviour.
Also, I would like to add, that farming in India is a small scale where there are a large number of farmers holding small amounts of land compared to western farming where a small amount of farmers hold large amounts of land. This translates to animal rearing as well. A typical farmer family will own about 1-3 cows. They cannot exactly be called "cattle" and rather are treated like pets or members of the family. So you could also argue that killing a cow in India would be something similar to killing common pet animals (dogs/cats) in some other part of the world. Imagine your neighbour killed a dog and ate it (strange right?). Especially when you own your very own pet dog.
This might not be the case in other countries and they might not find the same utility in other areas and cows are more valuable for the beef it provides. Therefore there is absolutely no problem with other people eating beef. Cows are seen as cattle and hence can be killed for its meat. We also rear other animals like goat and chicken which can be killed for its meat without any problems.
Then there are also people who promote cow dung and urine usage in certain areas and that is just straight-up bullshit. There is a group of extremely orthodox extremist Hindus that do all this and they are certified clowns even in India. 95% of the population knows that this is bullshit.

Yup you're right but my elder's told nandi are god maybe you're right

People eat beef in India as well. Including Hindus. The northeastern states freely consume beef and pork (both types of meat are taboo in 90% of the regions) including Hindu people. The Malayali people in South India also consume beef quite openly.
I have written a somewhat logical explanation above. A lot of Indians themselves don't know what exactly is a god and what is not. Who they worship and who they do not. A less travelled Indian also lives in a bubble where he believes the local culture surrounding him is basically how people live across India which is not the case.
katsu_fx [#28]yeah but the example you gave and what i stated are quite different from each other, pork is just haram its not like a god or a sacred, holy material in islam but cows are literally their holy spritiual symbols afaik
