India to launch cow urine as soft drink
"Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India's Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine.
The bovine brew is in the final stages of development by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India's biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, according to the man who makes it.
Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink – called "gau jal", or "cow water" – in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year".
"Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins."
The drink is the latest attempt by the RSS – which was founded in 1925 and now claims eight million members – to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its ideology of Hindutva, or Hindu-ness.
Hindus revere cows and slaughtering them is illegal in most of India. Cow dung is traditionally used as a fuel and disinfectant in villages, while cow urine and dung are often consumed in rituals to "purify" those on the bottom rungs of the Hindu caste system.
In 2001, the RSS and its offshoots – which include the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party – began promoting cow urine as a cure for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer."

I am from gujrat as you can see in m y profile.you know brother even USA and Uk refused entry to Modi, but Israel was ready ot wel come him and their high rank govt officers are frequently visiting gujrat.And one more thing I want to tell you that Israel have massive investment in Gujrat(specially in dimond business).So ask that ugly Docjay that who are the partners of disgusting mummals ?. I think Modi did not married because he is special member of rss.So next time when this Donkey visit Modi I am sure his partner will offer him ........ to drink.

DesertViper...try do not bite yourself!
Snakes are poisonous!
I saw on NatGeo that Dinka tribes from Africa are washing their heads with cow urine to obtain that reddish tint hair which makes them irresistible;-)
There is quite a history on the benefits of cow urine according Ayurveda..they have even a -Tonic for Women recipes;-)
http://www.hkrl.com/cowurine.html
And BTW Desertviper, what kind of democracy are you speaking about? The one in which Hindu activists are beating ppl on St.V-day? Check this out: http://www.chinapost.com.tw/asia/detail.asp?d=2007215&id=102629&GRP=C&sPeriod=7
The story was carried by Indian media also..
I'm an Indian, a non Hindu,and live in the south of India. I find this piece of news disgusting,absolute ignorance of facts & in understanding India, and above all, it shows a very bad taste. We haven't heard, seen, discussed or read this piece of news anywhere in the Print, Online or Visual Media here. Mainstream Hindus don't believe in this sort of stuff. We have a lot more serious issues to be concerned about here. We are a democracy of 1.2 billion people, living in 28 states & 5 Federally administered territories. We have 26 official languages, over 800 other languages & 3000+ dialects. Any Indian can speak his mind out wherever he /she wants in this country. We believe in absolute Secularism at the end of the day. Fringe statements by somebody who's politically insignificant from this country is always lapped up by the tabloids in the West (as they always do)....Have the Tabloids in the West run out of the 'sensationalist steam', they always seem to come up with, at their doorstep?
but it is better than eating scorpion,snakes,rats,cockrages,dog, cats......& so many
maybe the inventors of this idea will like this then:

A person who does not speak out against the wrong is a mute devil.
What made you watch Tyra ??
You know guys... if this idea works and this guy becomes rich!!!
this guy will be recognized as a smart one.
I heard once on Tyra show that there was this one country singer or something that made an alarm clock out of a big cow turd, during an interview the watch was sitting on the table looking good, and because this singer is very famous, the product sold millions.
A person who does not speak out against the wrong is a mute devil.
This world is going to an End indeed

The name has to have marketing value..
So may be "excreta Energy" is more becoming
Brit Expat, I already told u.. they are starting a new chain , it is called Pissa Hut..foutain piss and cow dung pissa..for home deliveries, they will send the cow to your place in a pick-up..hot from the oven...
...Avada Kedavra..
So what name will the market it under internationaly ??
Red Bull and Bison are already taken. So perhaps it could be called the "udder one" .
The first country they will export is Qatar
for their people living here
Success is as high as hard you hit the ground
and they are planning to export it.

...Avada Kedavra..
hey tom riddle marvolo,you mean to say this gross thing is real.
RSS sucks!!let them give it to Vajpayee first,
Steps:
1.Remove his glucose drip and put the cow urine drink instead
2. Connect the tube from his thigummy used for passing urine directly to the bottle.
This starts a recycling process in which his urine tube goes directly to the drip bottle.. it will be a self-sustaining system...
(*It is not my idea, I got it from Catch-22)
I hear the RSS is planning to open a 'Pissa Hut', where you get fill your Fountain Piss directly from a cow , as well as eat your Cows dung flavour pizza..
...Avada Kedavra..
all the weird things happening there.

All zodiac sign readers say Librans consider both sides of an argument, that explains the Scale as sign.
So, if people all go for 1 side, me; maybe because of my sign or maybe because of my attitude (ha ha) try to debate it for the other side too. Thats all !
That's why extracting Vanilla from cow dung is also not a bad idea. As extracting it from Vanilla flowers is a long and costly process.
The grass grazers are known to be the worst producers of Methane which is ultimately responsible for the Green House Effet and a hole in Ozone layer. So making Soft Drink as well as Vanilla from urine and dung is a great environment friendlly idea, what say?...We'll enjoy drink and you enjoy your vanilla ice cream.....let's party on Valentine's day!!!!

In India, Cow urine has long been drunk to purify ones self and also for medicinal purposes.
Now I understand why they need to drink 'water' from the Ganges River as because it's 'holy' water.

In India, Cow urine has long been drunk to purify ones self and also for medicinal purposes.
The RSS, in a drive to wean people away from western symbols such as Pepsi and Coke are putting forward Cow Urine based soft drink as an alternative.
I would presume that it would sell quite well.
Don't know if some wine from India has Cow urine or not..but some Ice creams from Massachussetes (sp?) has a vanilla extracted from cow dung...try once ...lol

it is unhygenic and dirty secretion....don't take us into micro-biology classes. Drink healthy milk but not....yuck/puke again.....
I really think you cannot compare, but if you are thre let me just answer you. We drink milk ( the secretion as you said it) because it is similar with the human milk, that we have from our mothers when we are small.
Using the same comparison we do not drink cow pee beause we do not drink human pee...at any stage of our life....at least I am not :-)
cow urine is next to Godliness!
pour some ajinomoto to make it tastier.
Recipie for today.wahahahahahaha!
Thats for your information.
I'm against drinking that stuff, but then being a libran I could debate it:
-If a person could drink milk which is a gland secretion of cows, why not another secretion
-Talking of waste products, please know that fermented food products too are waste secetions of micro organisms
-Muscle cells of animals that we eat as non-vegetarians contain more toxic items than in bovine urine; which is researched to have certain health benefits.
Personally though, i think its Yuck !!!
well....we cannot complain of lack of new ideas, but come on - out of all the things we can use ...that was the last resort ingredient??!!
ekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, spare us...
urinated indian power!
har!har!har!
no wonder mate.it is from their culture,some of them is yucks pipol,but not at all...OMG!
they can keep it all to themselves...
I reckon the main promotional song will be:
"Drink a bovine a day, we are keralite everyday"
No offense intended, Is just the casual similarities of all those accommodations announcements in QL.
what a piss!
be the best guy or the worst villain.
Why bother daubing yourself in cow pee an poo when you could just bathe in an open sewer,,,,,,,tongue in cheek,
eeeeeeeeeeeewwww
