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.

I disagree. Holding up needed transportation improvements to appease a political party cynically using religion to win votes is not acceptable in a secular nation.

There are quite a few muslims there as well. If it was something they considered sacred, the government would opt for the additional 36 hours of travel time in a hurry.

”The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. If he has ever seen a fine sunset, the crimson color of it should creep into his vote. The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.”—G.K Chesterton
