Jaipur, Feb. 24 -- State education minister, Madan Dilawar, on Sunday said that children will become intelligent if they drink cow milk but will become sluggish if consume buffalo milk. While addressing the inaugural event of 'Gau Samvardhan Gau Charan' in Kota's Ramganjmandi, he said, "People don't understand in the villages. If we want to make our children more intelligent and energetic, we must feed them cow milk. But if we want to make them sluggish, we may give them buffalo milk." Reiterating his comment, Dilawar, also compared the behavioural nature of a cow calf and a buffalo calf. "If you gather four to five cows and buffaloes and their calves born only three day ago, you will see that a buffalo's baby is struggling to identify their mother while the baby of a cow will find its mother so easily. We all know that a buffalo calf becomes lazy after consuming milk while a cow calf starts running here and there raising its tail soon after having milk. It clearly shows that cow milk makes children more energetic, strong, and intelligent. You should feed them the milk of 'Gau mata' if you want to make your children intelligent" he added. He further justified that the calf of a cow is called ' Bachhada' during its birth, then is called 'Keda' in the adolescent period, and 'Naykiya' or a bull when it becomes fully mature. "But a buffalo calf is always called 'Pada' in the local language in rural areas because it never grows up properly. It always shows some stupidity in nature," he said. During the event, Dilawar also said one 'village cowherd' will soon be appointed each in 14 villages of Kota to revive the ancient tradition of cow grazing. However, commenting on the development, the former superintendent of JK Lon Hospital and a Jaipur-based pediatrician, Dr Ashok Gupta, said, "We often recommend cow milk for the children considering its low fat contents compared to the buffalo milk which is easily digestable for the children. But the buffalo milk has more protein and calcium contents that makes it more nutritious for the children."...
