Xenotransplant, not plastic surgery.

Self proclaimed historians are incensed with the Prime Minister for his attempt to rewrite history through " ancient mythology ", ' speculative chronology " and " fresh myths ". These fellows call themselves the Indian History Congress which automatically makes them suspect of being crypto-commie, pseudo-secular, Congress supporters. Their ire has been aroused because the PM claimed that the Hindu God, Ganesha, obtained his elephant head through advanced plastic surgery in the distant past but the knowledge has been forgotten. They passed a resolution saying," Unfortunately even the Prime Minister has suggested that in the hoary past Indians had learnt, and then, forgotten, plastic surgery of a kind going far beyond what is now possible." And," It also calls upon all members of the political establishment to refrain from making statements contrary to well-established historical facts." Thing is if the past is so hoary how can they be so well-established. Beyond about 3 thousand years the history of the past has been destroyed by wars and natural disasters so no one can really know. Also if Lord Ganesha is a myth what about the universe being created in 6 days, a woman being merely the 12th rib of a man and ' immaculate conception '? Religions are also called faiths because no one has seen God and if anyone has then it is impossible to describe the infinite. Lord Ganesha is therefore as plausible as an old gent with white hair and white beard draped in a loose shroud. In their haste to condemn the Prime Minister these fellows have missed the glaring mistake made by Mr Modi when he called it ' plastic surgery '. It was not. It was a xenotransplant, in which live animal tissue is transplanted to a human body. Normally pig organs are used as pigs are genetically closer to human beings than other animals which are slaughtered for food, such as cows and goats. Another Congress, this time the Party, has objected to  the ordinance amending the Land Acquisition Law by calling it a return to the days of the Raj. But which Raj? We had the Mogul Raj followed by the British Raj, then the Nehru-Gandhi Family Raj which practised the licence-permit raj, the neta-babu-dalal raj, coalition dharma raj and the National Advisory Committee raj which cooked up this subversive legislation as a scorched earth policy so that all business and infrastructure activities come to a stop. " This ( ordinance ) is 1894 land law with higher rates of compensation and R&R package," said Mr Jairam Ramesh. If the rates of compensation are higher then why is it bad? Thank God, at least it is 1894 and not 1984. We don't want pigs to walk on 2 legs, do we?
