Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog is the national body for cow welfare and it will conduct the first-ever online exam on cows on February 25. According to their syllabus, the local cow milk has traces of gold, and earthquakes can occur because of cow slaughter.
There also seems to be a "science" behind how cow slaughter causes earthquakes.
"Acoustic anisotropy leads to a very strong anisotropic stress on a rock. The daily butchering of thousands of animals continually for several years generates acoustic anisotropy due to Einsteinian Pain Waves (EPW) emitted by dying animals. And the accumulated acoustic anisotropy is found to be related to the stress history of rocks," the syllabus states.
The claims do not stop at earthquakes but also put out a questionable remark over the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy as according to their text, those who had cow dung over their home walls were not affected.
"In 1984, more than 20,000 people died due to gas leaks in Bhopal. People living in houses with cow dung coated walls were not affected," the claim states.
The local cows are said to be "hardy and clever enough not to sit at dirty places", while the Jersey cow is "lazy" and "prone to diseases". Furthermore, the jersey one is claimed to "attract infection by not being hygienic enough". When an unknown person comes near a desi cow, "she will immediately stand. The irreverent exotic cow displays no emotions".
There is also an alleged linkage to Africans, missionaries, and cow dung.
"Africans for thousands of years used cow dung cakes as fuel. In the 18th and 19th century missionaries taught them to give up this 'uncivilized' practice. People turned to forests for fuel and in no time the continent was bald," the document reads as stating.
