YAPP - yet another political party

India boasts of as many political parties as there are deities in the Hindu pantheon. Of course, this is great for democracy, and all that - but the parties are growing at such a rate that the namespace has almost run out!!

Take a look at this political outfit.

What if the Governor invited the party to form a Union? Or if the party was unsatisfied with its election performance.? or for that matter what if the head of the party came to a meeting? What would the headlines be, then?

Any other situations come to mind?

I recently read an article (http://www.slate.com/id/2135661/) that said the issue was not about giving form to the Prophet, but about showing him in an unfavorable light. That made some sense, but then why didn't people make a big fuss outta this one? Im just curious... Maybe there isn't enough bandwidth in India to achieve critical mass for creating trouble?!

I am sure I've seen another cartoon on Ganesha with a Nuclear bomb. But then, don't you not find this funny? (The following image is by Daryl Cagle - cartoonist at cagle.slate.msn.com)
