  • Kamakoti endorsed medicinal benefits of cow urine last week & later asserted that there is 'scientific evidence'. Those at IIT Madras say his beliefs have never disturbed the academics.

V. Kamakoti, the Director of IIT Madras, has recently faced significant backlash following his comments on the benefits of cow urine (gaumutra) at the 'Gaumutra and Gaupathy' conference. Known for his scientific approach, Kamakoti's assertion that cow urine could be beneficial for health has stirred controversy, especially given his background in promoting scientific temper. Critics argue that his statements lack scientific backing and could mislead the public. Despite this, Kamakoti has a distinguished career, having contributed significantly to computer architecture and being involved in prestigious projects like the Shakti microprocessor. His comments have led to a debate on the intersection of traditional beliefs and modern science, with many questioning the appropriateness of such claims from a figure of his stature in the scientific community.
