I don’t believe in the Hindu Religion, but I am not thr government of an overwhelmingly Hindu country. If the facts here are correct, this is incredibly stupid of the bureaucrats.

Why are they so upset? Just look at the Scientologists—they believe in works of science fiction, too! Hail Xenu! :P

"They claimed that the use of wastewater in snow making machines would desecrate peaks that they hold sacred"
...not to mention desecrating falling skiers and snowboarders. I would not want to eat any of that stuff during a wipe-out.

“The Government has set in motion the process of questioning religious beliefs. We will launch a nationwide movement if it does not withdraw immediately this blasphemous submission questioning the very existence of Lord Ram,” Rajnath Singh, the BJP president, said.
Another thing - I don't believe there is any such notion as "blasphemy" in Hinduism. There is no single holy book or religious authority that can claim to speak for all Hindus, not even the Bhagavad Gita - accordingly, there is no one to rule about something being blasphemous, including the president of some political party.

Many Hindus oppose the £250 million scheme because the proposed shipping lane would demolish a submerged stretch of limestone shoals that Hindus believe was constructed by Lord Ram to rescue his kidnapped wife, Sita. They want the Ram Setu to be declared an ancient protected monument. The controversy over the fate of Ram Setu – Adam’s Bridge as it is known to nonbelievers – has dragged on for years, but is reaching a climax. "Adam's Bridge, known in India as Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu, is a chain of limestone shoals, between the islands of Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka, and Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast of India.
"The bridge is 30 miles (48 km) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar (southwest) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Some of the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow, being only 3 ft to 30 ft (1 m to 10 m) deep in places, which hinders navigation." - Wikipedia

Blasphemy? Hindus believe in blasphemy?
I thought EVERYTHING was acceptable to a Hindu. It’s like a huge sponge, the borg religion. How do they know the government’s viewpoint isn’t just the doctrine of one of their millions of gods?
