Alleged

Are you a Hindu?
Yes.
Are you religious?
A little.
That was a trick question. You can't be both.
Eh?
There's now a judgment of the Nagpur Bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal which says that a trust set up for the worship of Ganesha, Hanuman and Shiva is not "religious" in nature.
What?!
Yeah. Because Hinduism is not a religion.
Then what is it?
A way of life, sucker.
Just like Test Cricket is?
Yes. Did you know that "Lord shiva, Hanumanji, Goddess Durga does not represent (sic) any particular religion, they are merely regarded to be the super power of the universe (sic)"?
That's just rubbish. Superman's ability to fly is a superpower.
Sire, I'm talking of a "super power", not a "superpower".
Ah. Just like a "superstructure" is different from a "super structure"?
Subtle distinction, no? Get a load of this. A sentence in the judgment starts with the words, "The alleged Hindu religion..."
Well done. That's like the Times of India talking about crimes.
Hinduism is not even a 'community', they say. "The word ‘community’ means a society of people living in the same place, under the same laws and regulations and who have common rights and privileges. This may apply to Christianity or moslem (sic) but not to Hinduism."
Does this mean what happened twenty years ago on December 6 wasn't religious or communal?
It wasn't. It was about people who were taking revenge for a religion pwning their "super power" hundreds of years ago.
I can understand that, yes. Five hundred years from now, I wouldn't be surprised if Spider-man fans bring down a church which stood on the spot in New York where he was allegedly born.
There's that word again, "allegedly".
Important word, innit?
Yes.

Wow.
You should write a book with stuff like this.
