Only in India

I admire the diplomatic skills of this Indian judge. An old story from 2010. Came up in my feed when I searched for information about Ramalinga (Vallalar), a 19th century Tamil saint who was supposedly resurrected by mysteriously vanishing from a closed room. Think "rainbow body", that kind of thing. 

Apparently, a modern postage stamp of Ramalinga depicting him as a Shaiva Hindu, caused some consternation among his followers, who believe that the saint transcended all religious and sectarian distinctions. 

Writ petition against Vallalar stamp rejected
