“If they have a disease, it will get cured,” said Mahesh, a farmer at Saturday’s festival......Members of Modi’s party have touted the use of cow urine to prevent and cure COVID-19 and other ailments.

What a shithole.
Poop fight!!
On TV there was something on the news the other day about Diwali being celebrated by Hindus in Chicago. They didn’t mention the manure fight, but they did say there is a push to make Diwali a federally-recognized holiday.
So - holy shit.
Sounds like Democrats.
You want to bet that none of them are allergic to anything?
Exposing yourself to germs young and often creates a strong immune system.
Yea, we’re making fun of this in the West, but people in the West lately are allergic to EVERYTHING. From peanut butter to eggs to milk.

Doesn’t India make a lot of our pharmaceuticals? Ugh.
They’re also behind a lot of those annoying telemarketer calls.
HAHAHA! There’s certainly better ways of exposing ones self to germs without rolling in crap! I don’t think for a second they understand the immune system nor why they do that.
At least you’ll know where to find all of the Bernie Supporters.
India’s like that pretty much.....A student at my sons college said there are thousands of Gods,Goddesses and Rituals in India so you get to pick which ones you want to join in with.
At least it improves the smell.
They must have immune systems of steel.
Sanitation is not a high priority India......heck they bath in the dirtiest river in the world and think it’s Holy....while dead bodiy parts float by they also bury there.
