I’m sure some are already aware of this, but please do not assume that all Indian families are like TJ’s. Wiping a pan with a cloth that was previously used for wiping cow dung is considered filthy, disgusting, and unhygienic by all Hindus I know including my own family. Don’t get me wrong, there are some families in specific castes who may do this because they’re still living in the fourth century, but the majority definitely, definitely don’t. One of my old coworkers would always make fun of India and asked me if I drink cow urine. I was so offended by this and furious with him for asking me such a disrespectful question, but after watching this episode and the awful way they represent India, I realized he asked because he must’ve been watching something similar. Seriously, please don’t assume that all or even any Indians commit practices like this 🤦‍♀️

    Most Indian Hindus do not “worship” cows. We just do not eat them. We treat them (but also most animals, given that vegetarianism is encouraged by Hinduism) with kindness and respect.

    But no sane person is doing anything with cow urine or poop. TJ’s family is psycho, even by Indian standards.
