Government can try to assuage the wounded sentiments by retaining the name of Ram Sethu for the newly constructed bridge. Some way out should be found. We can not afford to stall this important project which is expected to improve the economy and trade prospects of the southern region.
Why is the centre hellbent on destroying everything remotely connected to hindu religion. India is the only country in the world where the feelings of the majority of the country are not taken into account in any manner. India will listen to any single and simple requests of any so-called minority liking but has the arrogance kept in store only for destroying hindu culture.
It's a rare testimony to our advances in engineering sciences in the past. It's a rocky structure sandwitched between layers of sand, conclusively proving that it's a man-made structure. All versions of Ramayana elaborately describe the Setu bandhan events. Sculptures in ancient temples have portrayed the Setu bandhan events in details.
Risk to Thorium Deposits and Strategic interests: Our political leadership is selling out critical national interests, they are literally letting people steal thorium rich sands (4% yield, highest ever found anywhere else in the world) and shipping it out. There are FIRs registered for such instances. So this is happenning!! They want to use the canal for cheaply transporting out 'the sand'. Our former president/scientist Prof. APJ Abdul Kalam has stressed on nuclear self-reliance and in particular, a plan based on our thorium reservoirs. And such plans go haywire if thorium deposits vanish like this. The SSCP may result in erosion of thorium-rich sand deposit along the south indian coast.
US Navy refuses to acknowledge India-Lanka historical waters between India and Srilanka. The SSCP is cleverly drawn along the median making way for an international line and hence international waters.
Environmental Impact: SSCP is a sea-based channel and hence comparing it to Panama or Suez canal (both of which are land-based) is absolutely incorrect. Such a project has never ever been executed anywhere else in the world, still there are no proper impact

Environmental Impact: SSCP is a sea-based channel and hence comparing it to Panama or Suez canal (both of which are land-based) is absolutely incorrect. Such a project has never ever been executed anywhere else in the world, still there are no proper impact studies done for this. Following are the possible environmental risks, just to name a few: tsunami impacts, risk of high temperature zones getting exposed, risk to biodiversity of the region. There are too many issues here and no impact analysis study has been done so far.
Economic non-viability of the project: There are already expert studies which have concluded economic non-viability of the SSCP project. It's not a land-based channel but an all sea passage. It's going to be only 300m wide. This means the passage will need frequent clearing of sand. It also means ships more than 30000 Tons can't avail the passage, effectively ruling out big cargo/container ships. The ships taking the passage will have to avail 'pilot-ships' facility. The ships will have to sail slow and may save only 1.5 Hrs of travel time. Effectively, these overheads will offset the fuel savings.
The cottage industries in the nearby coastal region are likely to be adversely impacted. The fishermen are likely to run into severe restrictions if the SSCP channel paves way for international passage.

He was a dothiwala. And because of him Tamil Nadu is run by single family of Muthuvel Karunanidhi. Don't tell the intelligence of DMK followers. The intellignet people are TAmil Brahmins who do not follow DMK or EVR.

It s'd go if it helps in the development of TN. The Northie Simians can transfer it to their backyard if they insist. But dont stand in the way of development of the fastest growing state - TN - the pride of the dravidians

South does not mean Tamil Nadu alone. EVR may be a hero to a few Tamilians for others he was just another leader who lead riots in the name of anti Hindi emotions.
Is Man mohan ko sarkar chalane ka koi hak nahi hai.... Hindustan me rah kar Hinduo ki bhavanao ko ye GADHA chot pahuchata hai..... Isse Accha to hamare VAJPEYEEji the.....
It is a greatest joke to compare Sethu with Holy sites. Please dont compare it with either Temple or Mosque or Church. Its just a bridge either Man made or naturally formed(no proof found).
Karunanidhi dared to ban the screening of Da-Vinci code in TN because he presumed that it would hurt the sentiments of Christians (Eventhough the movie ran well in many Christian Countries and had many facts picked from the Bible itself)...but he doesnt care a damn when the entire country is against Sethusamudram...now he is arrogant enough to think that our sentiments are not being hurt!!
