V Kamakoti, the director of IIT Madras stirred a row with his remarks last week that cow urine has 'anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties', along with digestive benefits. His comments sparked a political row.

The article from Firstpost discusses the controversy surrounding a statement made by IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti, who suggested that cow urine could be beneficial for health, sparking a debate on scientific validation versus traditional beliefs. His comments were made during an event celebrating the 75th year of India's independence, where he also highlighted the potential of traditional Indian knowledge in modern science. Critics argue that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support the health benefits of cow urine, pointing out that while it has been used in Ayurveda, rigorous scientific studies are lacking. The debate touches on broader themes of integrating traditional practices with contemporary scientific research, with some advocating for more research into cow urine's properties, while others call for caution against promoting unverified claims. The discussion also reflects on the cultural reverence for cows in India and how this influences scientific discourse.
