Is India prepared to put up a fight in an event of invasion by aliens and zombies? Can the country win its battle against extra dimensional bodies without the assistance of Will Smith? These are some of the questions the Indian government was asked via a Right to Information (RTI) request.

Mumbai resident, Ajay Kumar, filed the RTI application asking the Indian government if it has plans in place for protecting the citizens of the nation when brain-dead walkers begin walking the streets.

"What are our chances again them?" he asked. "What means does the government have at its disposal to defeat them?"

If his caustic tone wasn’t already evident, he adds, "Can we do it without Will Smith?" That’s right. He truly implied that Will Smith’s skills in science fiction movies such as Independence Day, Men in Black, and I am Legend, in which he battles with mystic creatures, can come in handy.

His questions have since became the talking point among hundreds of thousands of users. So much so, that Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, took the opportunity to remind people that these questions "waste the precious time of office staff." He added, however, "the subject matter is too scientific."

The government did, however, send a reply to the application saying it did not have any information related to such queries and most of the questions were about hypothetical scenarios.
