JUst because christians believed that earth is at the centre of the universe Galileo had to loose his life. So should we forget all about science and start only respecting sentiments?
people refused to take medicine for chicken pox and small pox believing it to be the wrath of the goddess. Where should the respect of unfounded sentiments should stop?

reerad the alst line of the article, it says it all:
The Centre and state of Tamil Nadu are hell bent on removing Ram Sethu as they have refused to take any of six alternative routes suggested for Sethusamudram.
it is not a question of unfounded sentiments - it i s awar - a religious war - which christian sonia has started with hindus now.

here is the list of candidate for general election of 2009
Well, I am not going into whether Ram Setu really built there or not, (even though personally I believe it was built there). But, You cant ignore the importance of Project SetuSamudram either as it will give a MUCH shorter route to east and west coasts. So, is there any way that will be acceptable to both Parties? (Hindus and government) Well, there is in my opinion.. After completing the Setusamudram project, The government should build a new bridge using latest technology on the route where Ram Setu believed to be built and give it a name of Lord Rama (Rama Setu). That way, both parties will be happy and we'll have a road way to shrilanka as well. it will benefit the local economy, Business between 2 countries. It can be a tourist/religious site considering the religious importance.

dear u can never impliment rationality in life. I am sure even u may not exercise in your personal life. Any govt has to respect the sentiments of its people. Even democratic countries like US and UK, wont do it. In fact, this barrie have always extended indian maritime territory beyond SriLanka and has strategic importance.Again, the cnala is not as significant as Suez and Panama.
I am feeling pitiful of our centre and the people who govern it. The so called centre is least bothered about the existence of Ram Sethu or whatever that is called,they are concerned to build the bridge at any cost even if it means hurting the sentiments of the Hindus or for that matter any caste, as rightly said if this would have been the matter with some other caste, hell would have broken loose and God knows what mayhem would have ben created. The centre wants to build a bridge between Sri- Lanka and Rameshwaram so that the ministers involved can "make hay while the sun shines". Where is the country going to? Few days back a discussion board carried a message doubting the patriotism of Sachin Tendulkar, now where is the Patriotism of our so called leaders leading the country? I am not arguing about the evidence or non-availability of it, but what about the emotions and sentiments of the majority of the people staying in this country? Are we supposed to forgo all this just to satisfy the "needs" of our political leaders supported by some mentally ill or deficient bureaucrat (Mr. Dorjee or whatever his name is!!) Where has all the humane attachments and values gone? God save my country and its brethens from the clutches of our greedy and heartless leaders.
My Dear Readers HINDUTYA is something differnt from this Project, please don't link both the prospects together, although it is hurting that the CENTRAL govt. as asking fr the evidence of LORD RAM but that matter can be debated separately as this Project is IMPORTANT fr BOTH the NATIONS, FYI just few days before CHINA build a BRIDGE between HONGKONG and XIAMEN ( CHINA ) just to save navigation time and strengthen the mutual cooperation, so think from ur brain and please don't be sentimental, keep religion aside don't inter link with GROWTH prospects.....

Dear friend, Indian ocean is not such a small place that progress of requires destruction of Ram Setu. If you prefer to call it it Adam Bridge call it that. If you think it is a natural construction let it be. However, if it is natural construction, then we need to preserve it even more. This whole thing is just to humilate religious Hindus. In this country, any thing you do against Hindu sentiment is progressive. Long live Sonia and Karat and company

it is not only the question of Project and its economic benefits Its the attitude of elected govt towards its own people under the banner of pseuso-secularism. The way Govt has responded to court, its shame for their irresponsible behaviour. Why cant ASI have their own stand irrespective of Gvt stand and vis-a-vis
What nonsense is this ? Is the government now going to say that Krishna also was a mythical being and we now stop swearing to tell the truth on the GITA ? The less said about the ASI the better. I have nothing either for or against the Sethu Samudram project but comments like this will soon make me a staunch Hinduvadi !!!! In the same vein what proves conclusively the life of Jesus or Prophet Mohammed. These are matters of faith and the less the government interferes the better. Shame on the government !
It's shame on part of the Central Government. Mr. Manmohan Singh should apologige to all Hindu community. Whatever ASI is submitted in the court, it submitted on behalf of CG. There are no second thoughts as fas as I am concerned.
when the CBI is unable to establish quattrochi's links with bofor's scam, how these politically (not scientifically) motivated ppl can unearth the history, that is believed to have happened few thousand years ago. well done sonia, sonia ki zindabad, left can rest in peace

Good observation!
Even our modern historians do not agree on various incidentsthat took place in less than 100 years, including the two world wars, which are the most well-documented events of the world.

This project does not make economic sense.
Read this Rediff article:
http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/jul/04spec.htm
Also, please read the last line of this article, which says, "The Centre and state of Tamil Nadu are hell bent on removing Ram Sethu as they have refused to take any of six alternative routes suggested for Sethusamudram."
This clearly shows that the Sonia and her Congress are hell-bent on being anti-Hindu.

why we should accept another latest technology bridge and we hindus are not fighting for the name of the bridge. Will this same government will do the same thing if another place of worship is going to be demolished. Whey they hell were everybody is crying about Babri Masjid and till today it was not proved anything.

They have been many alternate routes ( atleaset 22 alternatative), but EGO plays here. Hence the problem. For that they should not drag RAM in this picture.
