    1. താങ്കളുടെ സംശയം ശെരിയാണ്. Registration Document il എല്ലാവിധ അവകാശങ്ങളും വാങ്ങുന്ന വിക്തിക്ക്‌ കൈമാറുന്നു.
      NB:-
      ഇവിടത്തെ സർകാർ ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥൻ മാർ വെളിവും വെള്ളിയായ്‌ചയും, ഇല്ലാത്ത രീതിയിലാണ് ഓരോ സർക്കുലറുകളും ഇറക്കുന്നത്.
      ഇത് ഇവർക്ക് ബുദ്ധി ഇല്ലാത്തത് കൊണ്ടല്ല.
      ജനങ്ങളെ മനപ്പൂർവം ദ്രോഹിക്കാൻ വേണ്ടി തന്നെ യാണ്‌.
      " സവർണ്ണ മേതാവിത്തം,
      അധികാര മെത്താവിത്തം,
      അടിമകൾ ഉടമകൾ സമ്പ്രദായം എല്ലാം ഒന്ന് തന്നെയാണ്."
      സാധാരണ ജനങ്ങൾ എന്നും ഇവരുടെ ഒക്കെ അടിമകളായി കപ്പം കൊടുത്ത് കഴിഞ്ഞോളനം ആത്ര തന്നെ"
