Aires, you should know by now that most of India's top officials
(Presidents, Prime Ministers and the like) are an undereducated lot and
underachievers. In fact, President Manmohan Singh was awarded the title
of THE UNDERACHIEVER by Time Magazine. July 2012.
Don't expect brilliance and scholarly insights from them, especially if
they have graduated from some of India's hundreds of third rate
Universities.
In India's moribund intellectual culture, high officials are allowed to
offer erudite sounding opinions without evidence or to enter into
weighty discourse without adhering to basic logic or rational norms.
Thus Modi in an attempt to explain the Hindu god Ganesha's features
speculated that some high-powered surgeons in those heady Vedic days
were skilled enough to attach an elephant trunk to a human face. He left
it at that. He also added that Hindu aircraft engineers in those days
could achieve interplanetary travel.
That's the status of BJP Hindu Science.
When Modi speaks, no challenge is allowed.

Subject: [Goanet] WILL THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA CLARIFY?
Yesterday it was preposterous to hear the President of India Ram Nath
Kovind make a public statement that he has been influenced by Goa’s
forests and beaches.
Could the President of India please tell us which beaches and forests of
Goa he has cared to visit which have influenced him.
