Cow Urine Used to Purify Children (Bizarre)
[Edit]
[Edit]
In an alarming display of caste-based discrimination, a school mistress in India ordered that several low-caste children be purified by being sprinkled with cow urine. In India, cows are considered sacred by Hindus and the urine of these cows is viewed as a purifier.  Teachers in a village school in western India sprinkled cow urine on several low-caste students to purify them, a news report said Saturday. The cow is held sacred by observant Hindus and "gau mutra" or cow urine is considered a purifier. Police is investigating the incident, local police chief Suresh Sagar told CNN-IBN news channel.
Caste-based discrimination was outlawed by India's constitution in 1950. Yet despite decades of affirmative action programs and notable individual dalits who have risen to positions of power, including a former president and the current chief justice, discrimination remains rife.
