some hindus considered kali's presence in the picture to be a representation of the muslim community. when one of the versions of these pamphlets came into the possession of a state official in 1893, he commented that the image "contained a representation of a musalman [muslim] advancing to slay the cow ...". one book states, "the magistrate [at deoria<nowiki>]</nowiki> found muhammadans excited because they heard a picture was in circulation representing a muhammadan with a sword drawn sacrificing a cow, and this they considered an insult." in 1915, a color version of this picture ran by the "ravi varma press" caught the attention of the colonial censors and was presumably censored in some way.
