> The Indian left wing's fascination with Cow Urine far outdoes any religious Hindu's veneration for it. The indian left or centrists don't care about the cows except in the context of agriculture. It is when the right-wing sell their pseudo-scientific bullshit about cows in the face of rationality, or ban beef or even kill people for eating it that they speak up. I see that you don't have to say anything about their push for "Astrology as Science" because you can't obviously defend them on that here. It's the intent that matters. Sure, there is nothing wrong in doing research on animal excretions. Even if they find that they were wrong, that's valuable research too. But who should be deciding this - ignorant right-wing politicians or scientists who are experts in their field? India is not a rich country, and our funding of scientific research needs to be prioritised based on our needs and priority. Not on religious faith. There are even right-wing terrorist cum politician who now openly lies that her cancer was cured by "ayurvedic" cow urine and dung, while the doctor who actually treated her cancer (probably with radiation, chaemotherapy and surgery) has come out publicly to refute this.
