Did the expression "Holy Cow!" originate from India?

I very much doubt it. I think it was a euphemism invented by comic book writers to allow their characters to "swear" in a way that was acceptable for something aimed at adolescents.

Haha! Don't know, probably! it may be wild west, too!

Yes, of course!!! hahahahahahaha

No one knows for sure, though according to Wikipedia it is widely believed to have stemmed from the Hindu belief of reincarnation.

Travelers commonly shout the expression as to not hit one of these "reincarnated creatures" while driving. Others derive the origins back to the story from Exodus of the golden calf or the "Holy Cow."

BTW, did you know that when Disney's "The Rescuers" was released in 1977 it was banned in India because the phrase, 'holy cow' is in the film?

Holy cow:

An idiom used to identify a person, institution, idea, or ideology as being unreasonably immune to criticism or opposition.

To India's millions of Hindus, the cow is a holy animal that cannot be harmed. The tender treatment is just one example of our complicated relationship with cows -- a historic partnership detailed by NATURE's HOLY COW. Few people, however, revere the cow like the world's 900 million adherents of Hinduism. Since the faith first evolved near Asia's Indus River more than 3,000 years ago, respect for animal life has been a central theme in Hindu life.

Some trace the cow's sacred status back to Lord Krishna, one of the faith's most important figures. He is said to have appeared 5,000 years ago as a cowherd, and is often described as bala-gopala, "the child who protects the cows." Another of Krishna's holy names, Govinda, means "one who brings satisfaction to the cows." Other scriptures identify the cow as the "mother" of all civilization, its milk nurturing the population.

Today, in heavily Hindu nations like India and Nepal, milk continues to hold a central place in religious rituals. And in honor of their exalted status, cows often roam free. Indeed, in some places, it is considered good luck to give one a snack, a bit of bread, or fruit before breakfast. On the other hand, a citizen can be sent to jail for killing or injuring a cow.

Indian Cows: Blessed Bovines!

Lord Krishna was a cowherd, and the bull is depicted as the vehicle of Lord Shiva. Today the cow has almost become a symbol of Hinduism. India has 30 per cent of the world's cattle. There are 26 distinctive breeds of cow in India. The hump, long ears and bushy tail distinguish the Indian cow. Stray and homeless cows are also supported by temples, especially in southern India.

In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred and its protection is a recurrent theme in which she is symbolic of abundance, of the sanctity of all life and of the earth that gives much while asking nothing in return. Most Hindus respect the cow as a matriarchal figure for her gentle qualities and providing nurturing milk and its products for a largely vegetarian diet. It holds an honoured place in society, and it is part of Hindu tradition to avoid the consumption of beef.

Verses of the Rigveda refer to the cow as Devi (goddess), identified with Aditi (mother of the gods) herself. By the early centuries AD, the cow was designated as the appropriate gift to the brahmans (high-caste priests) and it was soon said that to kill a cow is equal to killing a brahman.
