The humble squirrel and Ram setu- IRS officer victim of modern day Ravanas
It is fabled that when the ancient demi-god, Ram was making a causeway across the sea, to rescue his consort from captivity, the faithful squirrel brought at the end of its tail, a few grains of sand, not indeed, hoping to advance the high enterprise in any appreciable degree, but to show an inclination to serve.
The mythological Ram had saved his Sita and really had no use of the bridge and had he been King today, he would have gladly dismantled it for constructing the project, but our politicians who want to sell Ram are not prepared for economic progress, but in all this tamasha, an innocent IRS officer Chandrasekhar who is on deputation to the ASI as Director, Administration was suspended. How can this poor Customs officer certify about the bridge built by Ram, especially when the bridge was not even under the protection of the ASI?
Several biblical propositions have been disproved by scientists, but that in no way diminished the respect for Bible. Nobody remembers the Pope who in 1633 found Galileo guilty of heresy. He was forced to kneel down and confess that the Earth did not move, but as he got up, he muttered, "But it does"
It is pathetic that in 2007, we are ready to make an issue because the ASI could not produce a birth certificate for Ram Setu.
Hey Ram, You only can save us. Please See today's CobWeb.
