Teachers in a village school in western India sprinkled cow urine on several low-caste students to purify them, a news report said Saturday.
Sharad Kaitade, a new upper-caste headmaster at a school in Surewada village in Maharashtra state, allegedly ordered a few teachers to hold a special prayer ceremony and purify the school premises and the low-caste students, The Times of India reported.
The cow is held sacred by observant Hindus and “gau mutra” or cow urine is considered a purifier.
