Reports in India say a teacher has sprinkled cow urine on a school and its pupils in an effort to "purify" his workplace after taking over from a lower-caste principal.
Sharad Kaithade took over the village school in the western state of Maharashtra earlier this month, and asked an fellow upper-caste colleague to spray cow urine on school children as they were taking exams, wetting their faces and their answer sheets, the Times of India said.
The female colleague also ordered some lower-caste students in one of the classes to get some urine and sprinkle it on themselves.
The cow is held sacred by India's Hindu majority population and its urine is considered to have purifying powers.
People viewed as being lower caste make up around two-thirds of India's one billion-plus population.
It's the people who
are sprinkling cow's urine that
think they are high caste!
What caste are the poor folk who have to collect the urine?
