We Indians are known for our paperwork. Our paperwork is always solid. The Liberhan Commission tabled a 1,029-page report. But before churning out the final draft, it might have used tonnes of paper for more than 17 long years. Since Independence, more than 100 inquiry commissions have been set up, but a very few have served their purpose. Had we used that paper in making kites and children’s games, we could have made some difference to their lives. The question is: what to
do with the 15,000 pages of Modi’s clarification? Here are a few
suggestions. Recycle the paper and print entry tickets for future IPL
matches. Make sunshades and sell them off during the matches. Make
disposable paper cups for selling coffee, tea and water. Whatever you
do, make sure you keep 50 per cent profit for Modi sahib;
otherwise he may sue the BCCI for misusing his report.

Modi’s reply to the BCCI’s showcause notice consisted of 15,000
pages. He might get away with the help of a battery of lawyers, who
prepared this voluminous report and submitted it in six large cartons.
But when somebody is facing a difficult time, anything could happen.
God knows, he may be nailed by Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh for
wasting such a staggering amount of paper.
