The Kerala government ayurvedic medicine company Oushadhi has been found to sell medicines made out of cow dung claiming that this would boost memory and improve concentration. This medicine called the ‘panchagavya gritham’ is said to be made out of cow dung, cow urine, cow milk, ghee and curd. This medicine is also been claimed to cure mental disease, jaundice, fever, and epilepsy.
It is to be noted that, in 2020, the Kerala government had sought the permission of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to incorporate cow urine as ayurvedic medicine for COVID treatment. Following this, this panchagavya gritham has now garnered attention on social media. Oushadhi is one of the largest public-sector ayurvedic companies in the country and produces 498 ayurvedic formulations. The last recorded revenue of the Kerala government from this sector was in 2015 and was recorded as ₹82 crores.
Communists in India often resort to mocking Hinduism for cow worship and engage in hurting religious sentiments of Hindus by organizing beef eating festivals. Communist sympathizers on social media who often resort to derogating Hindus by making ‘Gau mutra’ jibes find themselves in a fix now.
This move by the state run entity has come under scrutiny for the Communist’s hypocritical nature.
