God's Safari


This question is as tough as the question Akbar asked Birbal--How many crows are there in Delhi? This is a tradition which has been followed for centuries. But is it necessary? Even if all the temples and other abodes of Gods are destroyed there will not be any PIL or rather GIL from the part of Gods. They will take it easy in their stride. In Kerala after the agrarian reforms the daily ration of food for so many Gods got reduced considerably. From so many 'paras' ( a volume measure used in Kerala for measuring paddy, rice etc and equivalent to some 10kg by weight) to just subsistence ration they did not protest. No calamities came except the EMS ministry was pulled down by vested interests where Gods were not a party. Only Gods  keepers were. So if this mode of transport to which Gods are accustomed to is withdrawn also there will not be any protests from their part. But the public may not take it lying down.
