The Minister first makes the decision how to deal with the matter. Then she discusses it with 'madam'. Then she calls secretary or the under-secretary and tells him what to do.The secretary in turn calls the departmental head for discussion and gives directions how the minister wants the document. The departmental head calls the officer and directs him further. The poor officer and the poor departmental head is always under the impression that they are doing the right job obeying the order of the Ministry. If they show resistance, anyway they get punishment. So they can't resist. It is better to follow minister's orders. AND EVERYTHING TILL THE OFFICER IS INSTRUCTED HOW TO MAKE THE DRAFT IS ONLY ORAL COMMUNICATIONS AND NO WRITTEN RECORDS. When the thing boomerangs, the poor officer and the departmental head is first suspended as an eyewash and to show people that govt is doing something. The poor officers' family lives are totally disturbed by this time and they run here there for support. Govt has the money and legal department, but the officers have none. They fail. The Minister prevails. Sonia prevails. This is the way it is always with the ordinary people.
Please stop this. It is diversioanry tactic to deviate from the main issue. Can they file such an affidavit in respect of god or Christ or Mohammad. It is not about worship. It is about denying the very existence of God or Ram or Jesus or Mohammad which makes this government not secular but atheist and communist. Many people in the Government and their friends actually hate hinduism although for their own reasons continue to hold on to hindu names.They have no right to take all kinds of liberties with our gods and lords as they dare not do the same with other religions. These cowards are actually afraid of dire consequences that may follow from taking liberty with other religions. So first be counted whether a hindu or non hindu before sermonising us. And hindus must rise as one person against such mischief and put fear in the hearts of those who think they they are easy targets. Cowardice is not the same thing as tolerance. And not standing by your faith is cowardice.

I recollect once Periyar Ramaswamy Nayakar who had a deep hatred for Forwrd communities especially Brahmins and an avid Ram hater derogatorily remarked that Ramayana be named "Geemayana." One devotee challenged him to convert his name to Geemaswamy Nayakar. Probably that must had shut him up. Now what has Karunakaran has to say. Is he for the affidavit or against?

It is distressing that so far D.Raja, Yechuri, N.Ram, Arundhati Roy have not come to the rescue of the bold intellectuals who drafted the superbly scientific affidavit. The left have one more open agenda to withdraw support, because substitution of scientific affidavit denying Ram, and succumbing to protests of communal party like BJP was not part of common Minimum Program
