I think you are disseminating misinformation.

Perhaps poor urban Indians can't afford ghee, but it's all many rural
Indians....you know, the one's who use water buffalos to plow their
fields.... have.

One newly educated urban Indian tried to save his dirt poor home
village from what he thought was a outmoded way of living. He talked
the elders into converting their small rural village into a co-op that
milked their cows/buffs and sold the surplus milk to earn cash. Put
the bovines in dairy pens instead of letting them crap all over the
fields, etc. It was a train wreck.

It was in this documentary I learned cow crap can be used as a
plastering medium and insecticide. It was originally spread on their
floors, walls, patios, etc. Yeah. Who knew? Know what happened when
the bovine feces was no longer available. Not only did the crops
suffer from a decrease in fertilizer, but huge hordes of flies plagued
the village. Turns out the DRIED dung acted as some kinda natural
anti-fly agent. The young college student that was gonna save his
village tore all his work asunder and let the villagers go back to
their centuries old way of life of gorging on ghee and dispersing
dung, lesson learned.
