Answer 2

We are asked the question of why Kunwar Singh was made to hold the tail of the cow

• In Hindu tradition when a person is going to die he is required to hold the tail of the cow
• As Kunwar was a Hindu he was also required to follow the same tradition
• The tail of the cow which is preferred is the black heifer
• It is said that when the spirit leaves its earthly body it faces a river of blood
• On the other side of the river of blood is a judge before whom the spirit should appear to answer for its sins
• A heifer's tail helps the spirit to cross this river of blood
• If the spirit is not provided with the tail he cannot face the judge so the spirit will be left on the earth itself
• So this is the answer as to why Kunwar Singh was holding the tail of the cow
