DC Edit | Let’s keep out all pseudo-science

There was no stopping of the proponents of the ancient Indian wisdom and knowledge system once they got the imprimatur from the Prime Minister. The 100-strong Kauravas owed their birth to stem cell and test tube technology, exclaimed a scientist at the Indian Science Congress, once a congregation of scientists from India and abroad. People who have not passed their matriculation would lecture in science conferences; those with a criminal past would pontificate on elements in the hallowed precincts of scientific institutions. Medical experts in fact feared for the worst when local scientists expounded the ability of cow dung to eliminate the corona virus at a time the pandemic was killing thousands. Hence there is no wonder the director of Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, which trains some of the best brains in science and technology, would publicly endorse the medicinal value of cow urine, with no data to support it.
