Prove it. Fund research.

" 'Gaumutra', or cow urine, has 'anti-bacterial' and 'anti-fungal' properties, and can heal a variety of illnesses, including IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome - advice apparently proffered by V Kamakoti, the Director of Chennai's Indian Institute of Technology." He also claimed that "The anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of cow urine have been scientifically demonstrated," and evidence published in top journals in the US. The journal Nature published an article on 'peptide profiling in cow urine'.  NDTV. "Kamakoti Veezhinathan completed both his MS and PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Madras and joined its faculty in 2001." ET. Excellent. But where did he graduate from? When Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi referred to a 'gau-mutra expert' on the government's education reform panel, "Though she did not name anyone, the remark was widely seen as referring to Prof Kamakoti."  TOI. To that former Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Prof Krishnamurthy V Subramanian posted, "If we do not reject Ramanujan's theorem's because Devi came and gave them in his dreams, why shud we reject a research question on Gomutra?" BT. Solutions to problems can come in dreams and Ramanujan may have described them as revelations from the Goddess, but thousands of his results have been proven correct and mathematicians continue to study his work (wikipedia). If cow urine has such novel molecules, they should be isolated and studied. Also urine from other herbivores, such as camels, elephants or horses studied to see what they contain. Could be a treasure trove. Indian pharma companies are creating advanced anti-microbial drugs to treat bacteria resistant to all available antibiotics,. "Enmetazobactam, developed by Chennai-based Orchid Pharma" treats severe infections by "targeting bacteria's defence mechanisms rather than the bacteria itself." Zaynich from Wockhardt is described as "ground-breaking, one-of-its-kind new antibiotic designed to combat all major super bugs." Wockhardt's Nafithromycin is undergoing Phase-3 trials, while some startups are also researching new drugs. BBC. "As per 20th Livestock Census, 2019, country has 193.46 million cattle population and out of this 142.11 million are indigenous and nondescript cattle, which is 73.45% of the total cattle population in the country." pib.gov.in. That is potentially an ocean of gaumutra, possibly containing "indigenous and nondescript" peptides. While the present government is showering us with the benefits of cow urine, "After-school tuition is sucking up a bigger portion of Indian family budgets these days as an increasing number of students compete for limited number of spots at top colleges." "Household incomes have increased at a compound rate of 11.9% a year in the past decade, trailing the 15.7% pace in education spending," so that "An average household now spends almost 3% of their income on education...compared with 1.95% in 2014-15, according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE). ET. Despite spending so much, a report, The State of College Hiring in India 2026, found that "While 68% of students said they considered themselves job-ready from the first day of employment, only 9% of companies shared that view." TOI. Instead of wasting time on mindless arguments, the believers should pay for research on gaumutra. Also, they may drink a liter of gaumutra everyday and compare their health with an age and sex matched cohort after 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. Till then, no idiotic claims. Put up or shut up.
