NEW DELHI — Indian students were hitting the books hard in preparation for a big test on cows, reading that India’s cows have more emotions than foreign ones, and that their humps have special powers.

But facing widespread ridicule, this past weekend the government abruptly postponed the first exam based on a new curriculum, pushed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.

Students at public universities and public schools had been asked to bone up on material that scientists and others dismissed as baseless, accusing the government of promoting religious pseudoscience about cows, which Hinduism considers sacred, to unwitting students.

Critics said the curriculum, devised by the National Cow Commission set up by Modi’s government, was an especially bold move by his ruling party to push its ideology and undercut the secularism that is enshrined in India’s Constitution but seems to be increasingly imperiled with each passing day.

“This is very weird, this exam,” said Komal Srivastava, an official for the India Knowledge and Science Society, a nonprofit educational group. “They can say anything about cows: that radiation is reduced by its dung, which is unscientific. If we want to teach kids about cows, it has to be scientific knowledge and not mythology.”

Again a Thread Related to Hindu Civilisation - Holy Scriptures !!!

There are Certain Animals such as Cow, Horse, Elephant, Lion and Snakes Etc which according to the Hindu Tehzebun - Holy Scriptures Existence came after the Humans.

In Vedas Mutts, The Beautiful Talks are about Who were made first Cows or Elephants !!!

Cow is Holy Because of the Milk of Cow can be Consumed by Humans and Give Benefits to the Humans.

Elephant Milk is not even drink nor the Lioness Milk, Holy Scriptures simply give the answer because Hindu Civilisation - Holy Scriptures are Revealed Directly from the Rabbul Alameen.

Cow is Holy Because of the Milk of Cow can be Consumed by Humans and Give Benefits to the Humans.

Are you sure you have read your books well? Is it only the milk that you deem beneficial? Or curd, ghee, urine and dung as well? Or their mixture: Panchagavya?

Elephant Milk is not even drink nor the Lioness Milk, Holy Scriptures simply give the answer because Hindu Civilisation - Holy Scriptures are Revealed Directly from the Rabbul Alameen.

By attributing your religious books to Rabbul Alameen (I wonder which one among your gods you are referring to), you are trying to preach the beliefs of Qadyanis and we don`t consider them Muslims.
