Cow dung may soon be the most sought-after product in the world, since it can almost cure everything. In fact, you may soon see The Great Khali advertising it, now that an RSS leader has claimed cow dung can give a tough competition to materials like Ambuja Cement\u2014and all things that are strong enough to build walls.<\/p>\n
If you think, we’re kidding, consider this: recently, IIT Delhi received about 50 proposals from top research institutions across the country to explore\u00a0benefits of\u00a0panchgavya<\/em><\/a>\u2014a mixture of cow urine, cow dung, milk, ghee and curd.<\/p>\n So now, since there are too many uses of the humble cow dung, you may find it hard to keep up with all. But we’ve got your back. Here’s a handy list of miracles cow dung can achieve.<\/p>\n Building Bunkers<\/strong><\/p>\n On Wednesday, Indresh Kumar, the chief of RSS’s Muslim wing Muslim Rashtriya Manch,\u00a0claimed that cow dung can be used to make bunkers<\/a>. Yes, bunkers\u2014that are supposed to be strong enough to ensure that bombs cannot kill the people inside.<\/p>\n According to Kumar, while the meat of a cow is poison, the dung it produces is very, very useful. Kumar insisted that since it’s already used to build houses instead of cement, it can be used for bunkers too.<\/p>\n For Natural Beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n About two years ago, at a rally organised by Bharatiya Gau Kranti Manch in Bhopal, as part of a nationwide campaign seeking death sentence for cow slaughter, one of the speakers said that Lord Krishna owes it all\u00a0to cow dung<\/a>. “Even when he was 120 years old, Lord Krishna looked like a 12-year-old because his soap was made from cow dung”.<\/p>\n Following this,\u00a0a Mumbai-based company<\/a>\u00a0went on to sell soap, toothpaste, floor-cleaner, hair oil, incense, shaving cream and face wash\u2014all made of cow dung and urine.<\/p>\n To Protect Yourself From Radiation<\/strong><\/p>\n 76-year-old Shankar Lal, RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Gau Sewa\u00a0pramukh<\/em>, has tried and tested this out. Lal, along with other RSS workers, apply cow dung on the back of their cellphones to protect themselves from radiation. “It is fresh cow dung. I have put it to save myself from the harmful radiations of the cellphone. It works, believe me,”\u00a0he told The Indian Express in an interview.<\/a><\/p>\n He tried reasoning it out as well. “If cow dung can treat cancer, why can’t it save us from a phone’s microwaves?”<\/p>\n But mind you, the\u00a0gobar s<\/em>hould only be from Indian\u00a0desi<\/em>\u00a0cows and not western ones like Jersey or Holstein, as he warned.<\/p>\n Cow Dung Can Defuse Atom Bombs<\/strong><\/p>\n A booklet released by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch claims that, apparently, cow dung can render hydrogen and atom bombs “ineffective”.\u00a0The Hindu<\/em><\/a>\u00a0also confirmed that the booklet said radioactivity does not affect a place painted with cow dung\u2014or affects it only marginally.<\/p>\n The document was an attempt to persuade Indian Muslims to give up beef.<\/p>\n Rajasthan education minister Vasudev Devnani agreed as well. While talking about the scientific importance of cow dung during his visit at the Hingonia Cow Rehabilitation Centre, he said cow dung has a magical property that can indeed defuse bombs.<\/p>\n Cure For Cough And Cold<\/strong><\/p>\n The Rajasthan education minister also added that cow dung contains Vitamin B that can relieve you from cough and cold. He said deficiency of vitamin B can lead to general weakness, a weak nervous system, and insomnia. And all this can be\u00a0cured just by using one thing:<\/a>\u00a0Cow dung.<\/p>\n Pregnant Women Should Have It For Normal Delivery<\/strong><\/p>\n The chief of RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Gau Sewa, who applies cow dung on his cellphone, also believes that it’s a miraculous drug for pregnant women. “We make pregnant women eat cow dung and urine paste to ensure a normal delivery,” he\u00a0said in an interview.<\/a><\/p>\n Use It For Cremation<\/strong><\/p>\n Recently, Gau Seva Parivar, an affiliate of the RSS had an idea for the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC)\u2014use of cow dung cakes in funeral pyres instead of firewood at government crematoriums.<\/p>\n They claimed that cow dung cake emits less pollutants compared to logs. “It also take less time to burn as compare to log (sic) because of less moisture. In cow dung cake the moisture is less than 5% but in firewood it is nearly 20%,” Lalit Agarwal, the chief of Gau Seva Parivar\u00a0told\u00a0CNN-News18.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n +++<\/p>\n And so the list goes on.<\/p>\n So important this cow dung is that the Union Ministry of Science and Technology has constituted a 19-member panel to conduct a detailed research on cow derivatives and their benefits.<\/p>\n The ‘scientific panel’ will include members from allied organisations of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the RSS as well as ex-CSIR chief RA Mashelkar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cow dung may soon be the most sought-after product in the world, since it can almost cure everything.
