If this project is implemented the first thing which will happen during the next tsunami is that the whole of TN and Kerala will be washed off. There are studies on this.
There are studies also confirming that the Sethu is a Man-made structure and not a Natural one and it ages back to 1,750,000 years. Guys ......... have some sense - scientific if not vedic.

besdes natural calamity awaiting if the bridge is broken, commercially, this project is unviable, which has been proven by navigators and shipping companies. except for small bulk carriers, no big vessel can transit thru the proposed route. anyway, why fighting - God is nature and all natural formations / happenings are acts of God. if UPA ( under pressure from DMK) has election plank on its list and they want muslim and christian and dalit votes, they can go ahead. the project will be stopped half-way by the next government as congress is not going to come again to power for next 5 years.

Man-made? Maybe. But Monkey-made? If monkeys can build bridges, then donkeys ca build flyovers.

Monkeys are better than you at least! Also let me clear you one thing...they belonged to monkey tribe not exactly monkeys! Human beings from different regions were given different names...Nags(forest dwellers)were very efficient in handling snakes...they were not sname-human beings...same with Takshaks..devtas and other tribes... also we have very human like gods not believe in scraps like...somebody went in cave and god told him something in secret and that is blindly followed by every other person for centuries!!
Under presssure from Tamilnadu politicians and civil contractors (one of them employed T. Balu relative)the UPA govt is going to waste Rs 4000 crore on this non-viable project. This money could have been usd to widen roads in Tamil Nadu, instead.

Ya, It is more important to consider the commercial viability of the project than whether Ram made it or I made it.. Ram made it for a purpose, and it served the purpose; so lets be happy about it.. Now the point is whether it is worth spending so much money and destroying it. I wonder why nobody talks much about the commercial aspect of it.. There are much better projects which are beneficial for Maritime industry like the Vizhinjam container terminal; which can save (and earn) billions of dollars in transshipment related charges..

Mr.Rajesh: Lot of people, including some experts, Naval Chief etc. have been talking about the financial non-viability and security aspects of the project. The general consensus is that the Government should not go ahead with the project, not because of Lord Ram, but because of various other factors. Hence, the question to be asked is: Why is Karunanidhi and Baalu so hell bent on the project being implemented? May be because Jayalalitha, their enemy no.1, is opposed to it in the present alignment. Or may be because BJP and so many other Hindu organizations are opposed to it because of Lord Rama's association with the under water bridge. Karunanidhi, who, as is well known, is selectively atheist, rationalist and what not, will always oppose anything to do with Hindus and Brahmins. Naturally, he identifies this as Hindu opposition and Lord Rama as Brahmin God. He has to oppose by all means and implement it. You want to provoke Karunanidhi? Just say `Brahmin' in front of him and see his reaction. Recently when he changed the Tamil New Year Day to satisfy whose whim only God knows, he quipped, `only Brahmins will oppose it'. What more can you say about a Chief Minister who is obnoxious about his hatred for Brahminism and Hinduism that he sees no wrong in destroying the very culture of the Tamil Nadu, nay the country, to prove his Dravidian superiority. He does not believe in God, but still God give him long years to achieve his goal!

Not only that but opporutinty to eat millions of dollar invested to this project! Like MM & Sonia are hell bent on implementing N-Deal! Politics & corruption economy at its dirtiest height!
Today the country lacks Lord Ram to crush the heads of Ravan poping up in China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Burma, Middle East and other parts of India and the world. Today's impotent brainwashed generation is totally at the mercy of secularists and communists. Its our mistake from generations that we bowed reverentially to every aggressor. We allowed gave up our Dharma and adopted culture of invaders, which has resulted in the present anarchy. If Indians had fought for their rights, the world would have been a peaceful place today without the scourge of terrorism. It is extremely sad that the structure Ramsetu built by a person Ram, who would have been an excellent engineer and scientist to construct the largest bridge ever in history of mankind, is being discredited in his own country. 50 years from now, this country will write off mahatma gandhi as mythological thanks to secular culture

This type of secularism can bent anything which suits to the rulers or anybody DMK, Lalu etc. etc. It is a mockery of so called secularism.
it is most unfortunate that built of ramsetu is made controversial and congress has fallen into trap of atheists like dmk none can forgive and more so future generations and history.
There are instances when anyone who tried to disturb Ramsethu have met with one or the other trouble. We need not worry. Ram will save us. Ramsethu will not be affected even if these ugly humans try to destroy it. Jai Sri Ram.

Dear Jesu Ratnam, well said, if the Project is Implemented is that going to Rain? are the Crops going to Grow instentaniously? are new rivers going to come out? what the hell are you talking yaar? For this the People and the Administrative body should work. THis Project is aimed at Hurting the sentiments of Hindus, probably you will never Understand or even understand being a converted Christian you will not feel for it. This is not going to help rather will harm the Eco system, you buggers were saved because of this when Tsunami hit the Coast if you remember OK.

Jesu you are a convert or born to a convert. You or your ancestors left your mother faith and went in search for another faith nothing but money! You will be ready to destroy the back bone of hindu faith! This is no argument for destroying the faith of the majority who is kind enough to give in to all minority appeasements!

sscp will not help shipping industry also becouse this project aims for improvement of tuticorin port.but it will not help tuti becouse its major imports like copper ore,coal,fertilise oil all come from quite opposite direction and ships that bring do not need to use sscp canal. in the case of exports which is v small in bulk like salt,maize,garnet sand very few shipments but nowadays mostly containerised with tranship- ment via colombo which serve for all ports in middle east,africa,south east asia.due to proxmity with geographical location,colombo is well placed than tuticorin.so in export also it will not serve purpose.for third country shipments,all ships tonnages are nowadays more than 30,000 mts for which draft of 14 metres depth is required for canals.now sscp aim at 12 metres that too it requires every year dredging frequently to remove mud depositing in narrow canal.sscp was good before 10 years and now it is totally unviable project of wasting public funds.dmk wants to help LTTE,to reduce colomo importance economicaly,to make money in sscp contracts,to make continous money in every year dredging,to help land maffias in east coast who had invested money to shoot up land prices based on this project they bought.dmk do not bother about lord ram or hindus feelings not care about other states,but only their interest. tsunami will sweep T N and kerala,fishing is destroyed,ecology and marine biology is destroyed and finally it will be like dmks pet project

If the project was intented to help the common man the Government may not have taken much interest, But since the Project helps the shipping industry the Government is more than eager to please the bigwigs.

jesus is only messenger and not god according to xtianity.similarly ''allah''means ''god''in arabic language.hindus call god as ''brahmam'' who is omnipotent,omnipresent,pervading in every object,a formless without any attribute. since it is difficult for common people to visualise a formless god,as per vedas,we cenceptualised in several manifested forms with names,forms and attributes and enjoying the freedom of praying god in any form we like as ishtadevata.sankara advocated advaita where god and man are same (both paramatha and jivathama are same and one) madhawacharya in his concept of dvaitha told god and man are seperate (jivathama and paramatha are different),ramanuja advocated in his visisha dvaita that man is part of god ( jivathama is part of paramathma).in short hindus enjoy freedom of choice and can choose any form or can be atheist also like charvaka/buddha who are still revered and glorified. for christians,if they do not pray to messenger they will be sent to hell and for allah,same fate for muslims.now u you know why hinduism still withstood all onslaught,attacks by other religions and still growing fast.
