OMG!

[h=1]Monogamy, True Allegiance to India and God’s Help: Now Mandatory for CSIR Fellowships![/h]
This is a declaration that CSIR Science Junior Research Fellows (JRFs) need to sign.
How are such details of a researcher’s personal life relevant to ‘scientific’ research? Why is “allegiance to India” and “help of God” essential for accessing one’s scholarship? Also, one wonders who is to be the “competent authority” on such matters?
Another instance of insidious forms of saffronisation of education and stringent moral policing of students, esp women students. Such forms of enforcing Brahminical morality need to be revoked immediately!

Don't find any thing wrong with this declaration. Help me God is a broader term and not any religious specific. In India oath taking is always done on God except by hard core Communists or atheists. So don't think any thing wrong with seeking God's help in oath of allegiance. Monogamy is a must condition for any Government job in India and a Science research fellow is of CSIR is not less than a Govt. Servant that part is also should be acceptable according to me..

It all says that one shall not marry for the 2nd time or in case of a female she would not be a 2nd wife to a man who is already married.

No big deal.

It only forbids marriage..but technically it has not mentioned a word about an extra marital affair.

An extra marital affair does not involve marriage.

So one can sign this declaration and yet indulge in an extra marital liaison becos it does not state anywhere an extra marital liaison is not allowed.

One has to be technically correct..that is all that is needed.

For example Lord Vishnu is the best example of being technically correct in the case of Narasimha Avatar.

Hiranyakashipu's boon was not to be killed by animal or human..neither at day nor night..neither on land or sky and so on..and Lord Vishnu took an Avatar on purely technical grounds and killed Hiranyakashipu.

Likewise here..anyone can sign this but yet have an extra marital affair cos an affair is NOT a 2nd marriage.

So is it really monogamy? Yes and No!LOL

quite an innovative suggestion!!.

In fact this declaration totally allows Bigamy for a woman cos all it says that a female should not marry a man who is already married..but it has not stated anywhere that a female should not take a 2nd husband when her 1st husband is still living.

I wonder who drafted this...too many technical loop holes and also under estimating the capacity of a woman...it as if its only a man who is capable of committing bigamy!

To link in another favorite topic, note that this declaration does not bar gays, or any caste or language. At least that is progress.
