I have been following the author's article since it started appearing on rediff. They are extremely hilarious and thought provoking. However, In this piece he seems to go way off the mark with books and scriptures. These holy books that religions follow tell people how to lead their life. For example, killing a chicken in a proper way does have its hygienic value. Scriptures say, "Don't obstruct others", which in the sense of queue should interpret as "Follow the queue". Scriptures are cornerstones showing the right path. Its up to us to get the gist and act accordingly. Not every aspect of life can be documented. So it is up to individuals and societies to derive specifics from general documentation and act sensibly.
