Monkey God Named Chairman ...
LUCKNOW, India — He's a revered Hindu monkey god. And now, he's the chairman of an Indian business school.
Hanuman, the popular god known for his strength and valor, has been named official chairman of the recently opened Sardar Bhagat Singh College of Technology and Management in northern India, a school official said Saturday.
The position comes with an incense-filled office, a desk and a laptop computer. Four chairs will be placed facing the empty seat reserved for the chairman and all visitors must enter the office barefoot, said Vivek Kangdi, the school's vice chairman.
"It is our belief that any job that has the blessings of Lord Hanuman is bound to be a success," said Kangdi.
All Hindus know that Hanuman can lift mountains and leap oceans, but ancient texts make no mention of his business acumen.
"When we were looking for a chairman for our institution, we scanned many big names in the field of technology and management. Ultimately, we settled for Lord Hanuman, as none was bigger than him," Kangdi said.
Hanuman is one of the most popular gods in the crowded pantheon of Hindu deities. His most famous feat, as described in the Hindu epic the Ramayana, was leading a monkey army to fight the demon King Ravana and rescue a kidnapped princess.
The Sardar Bhagat Singh College in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, awards bachelor's degrees in engineering and management. The school opened last year.
Rest assured abt legal matters harry...
They wud hav drafted their admin manual in such a way that all the roles n responsibilities for dealing with huevr is clearly separated frm their Honorable Chairman. After all they wudnt want students to claim that they have paid their fees directly to the Chairman!!!
I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.
is that a non existent (non physical) being is allowed to take up a position in an educational establishment.
Theoretically, even deceased persons could be given key positions.
What happens if there are legal matters? Who will be responsible?
What sort of legal system allows this ?
LOL...Bhagat Singh, the great revolutionary, must be turning in his grave!! Deity worship is fine, but personally i feel they hav stretched it a wee bit far here!!

Its a good publicity gimmick for the Business School..
