Indian Supreme Court reviews cattle ban

India's Supreme Court will decide whether a cattle ban introduced by the Narendra Modi government is constitutional or not. 

The ban prohibits the sale of all cattle for slaughter. Critics have accused the Indian government of using this rule to protect cows- an animal Hindus consider holy. 

The ban has hit the $4billion meat export industry in India hard- with the supply of meat falling drastically.
