IIT-Madras director V Kamakoti’s remarks on the medicinal benefits of cow urine have generated controversy. At an event celebrating Tamil festival Maatu Pongal, Kamakoti claimed cow urine had anti-bacterial properties and could treat ailments. His comments drew criticism from groups like Dravidar Kazhagam, who argued there is no scientific evidence supporting such claims and criticized his lack of scientific temper.

#MeaCulpa Full disclosure of a very dubious ancestor. Made his fortune as a 'tax collector' (sic. 'enforcer') in #tamil_nadu (formerly #Madras #State) #Sth_India. Returned home having 'made' his fortune working for the #East_India Company. Yes, slaves, sugar, tea, coffee, spices etc. The 'family' once owned much of #South #Devon, from Haldon Ridge to #Torquay & the toll road to #Plymouth (A30). I know 'unto the 7th generation' but still a weight I carry.
