SKIRMISHER

Upper-caste head teacher Sharad Kaithade cares about the evil that enfolds his “low-caste” students that he told his friend to sprinkle the students with cow urine to purify them. So the students were treated to a refreshing golden splash while taking an examination, “wetting their faces and answer sheets.”

“She said you’ll study well after getting purified,” student Rajat Washnik was quoted as saying by the CNN-IBN news channel. Students said they felt humiliated.

Hinduism reveres the cow, and its dung is used in the countryside as both a disinfectant and as fuel. In 2001, Hindu nationalists promoted cow’s urine as a cure for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.

The newspaper said the two teachers were arrested after angry parents complained to police. They have been released on bail.
