1 is just a regional judge reaffirming existing cow conservation law with some woo woo in his decision, 2 is a non-scientist giving a lecture at a science institute which caused controversy among the actual scientists. Neither of them really have anything to do with the science/government control other than India’s long standing obsession with cows.

> 1 is a regional judge. Ok, how about this? Ayush is a govt portal for govt funded products based on ancient Indian pharmacology. Here is the 'research' on panchagavya (click to find out what it is, and weep) https://ayushportal.nic.in/panchagavya.html https://ayushportal.nic.in/panchagavya.html Or, how about this: cow urine is sold on amazon https://www.amazon.in/s?k=cow+urine&crid=277U5YZ3T98T8&sprefix=cow+urine%2Caps%2C409&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 https://www.amazon.in/s?k=cow+urine&crid=277U5YZ3T98T8&spref... This is not an isolated person who's lost his marbles. It is a massive country, where a small but highly vocal and powerful minority has completely lost it, and they are the ones who vote. -------- As for the second, it was not a lecture at a science institute. It was the 102nd Indian Science Congress, an event that is supposed to be prestigious. Indian Nobel winners, Field medalists, prominent space scientists were there amongst the august crowd. And there was an entire track imposed on that event by the govt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Indian_Science_Congress_ancient_aircraft_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Indian_Science_Congress_a... I am not going to give a link to that paper; you need to do some homework. That is of course, if you care about what is happening. Hope you will not be like the others who say, 'but Modi is building roads and airports, so everything is getting better'. I weep for my country.
