Believe it or not: Gems from India's cow lobby

Minutes from a government sponsored Cow promotion conference in Madhya Pradesh. (Newspaper article)

• Only those inside houses coated with cow dung escaped the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.

• There are only two ways to remain insulated from nuclear radiation, and one of them is application of cow dung.

• Using cow dung can ensure normal delivery instead of C-section.

• Those who drink the milk of jersey cow and buffaloes commit more crime than those who consume only desi cow’s milk.

• Only the cow can save mankind; just touching it can stabilise blood pressure.

If promotion of this kind of delusional nonsense is the basis for government policies like this, this country is doomed.
