215 academicians slam Priyanka for 'gaumutra' remark
academicians wrote an open letter criticizing Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for her 'gaumutra' expert jibe at IIT Madras director V Kamakoti.
The academicians said dismissing a scholar with a label undermines the scientific temper promoted by the Constitution.
They defended Kamakoti's advocacy of cow urine's potential benefits, stating scientific temper requires objective examination of claims.
The letter emphasized that mockery is not a substitute for reasoned engagement in public debate.
Kamakoti is a guiding force behind India's first industry-grade microprocessor and a member of the Centre's task force on exam reforms.
