India to Launch a Cow-Urine Soft Drink

[Malthus]

Don’t have a cow, man.

You’ll be glad to hear they said on the news that on Valentine’s Day, ladies in India were throwing pink panties at some of these extremists.

I’m an extremist! Over here!

Truly, my extremity is legendary.

Hindus revere cows and slaughtering them is illegal in most of India. Cow dung is traditionally used as a fuel and disinfectant in villages, while cow urine and dung are often consumed in rituals to “purify” those on the bottom rungs of the Hindu caste system.

Just the lower castes? Is this like religious hazing?

I’m not sure exactly what that’s referring to. The purification rituals would be the same for any caste. Maybe the lower castes need more purifying because the encounter more opportunities to become impure.
