Chief Justice K G Balakrishna always favoured UPA in the past because they made him chief Justice and he is heading the bench in this case. He will tilt the vote in favour of UPA
First of all, some people here is wrongly associating Ram to Hinduism. Whether Ram existed or not has nothing to do with Hinduism. Hinduism existed before Ram and still exists. It is a belief, it is a way of life, it has nothing to do with Ram.
This should not have been an issue at all. Whatever be the religious sentiments that should not create any problem for development project for the nation. All people, from all sectors will be benefited from the project. Then why the government have to listen to one section of the public? I am Hindu and I do not care whether Ram existed or not; why my opinion should not be counted? If the government really take a poll, it will be surprised to find that most of the people do not care about whether Ram existed or not.

You are wrong. The sacred books of Hinduism or Vedic culture contain four Vedas, six Vedangas, and four Upanagas. Puranas are part of the Upangas. Among Puranas, there are 3 categories: Mahapuranas (18), Upapuranas (18) and Itihasapuranas (Ramayana and Mahabharata). Please first learn about Hinduism before jumping to conclusions. It is impossible to learn everything about Vedic culture in one life, but at least try to get your basics right.

There is nothing called Hinduism before Arabs invented the word. So, during King Ram's (in case he existed) rule, he was a follower of Vedas. Sivaism is religion practiced in South. There are no scriptures that that mention about Ram in Sivaism scriptures. Siva is the only superior god in Sivaism. Like that, East India has their own scripts. Ram is the God for Vaishnavaites who are the majority in Northern India and Central India. And the Lord Ram existed in scriptures thousands of years before Ramayan came to picture.

It still does not answer the main question, that is, IS Rama necessary for us Hindus to maintain our Hinduism? I don't think so. I don't think whether Rama existed or not has anything to do with Hinduism.

There are lot of Vaishnavities who need King Ram for their spiritual search since the believe that King Ram was a reincarnation of Vishnu. And there are some political groups that definitely need Ram to run their politics. Without Ram, those guys can't put food on the table. They would even create communal riots in the name of God just like the terrorists.

Why do these guy call it an important monument when there is no monument at all? How can something be a religious symbol when no one ever goes there in entire lifetime, no puja is done, no pilgrimage, nothing..just out of nothing you claim one day that it is a religious place. How is that possible?

There is nothing religous about this claim, Buddy. It's all politics.
As per Vaishnavism and Sivaism, every bits and peaces are as pure as a religious monument. But you can't sell that to public to gain power. What do you think the caste system is? It is just a political move. People just grasp the political aspect and forget about the spiritual aspect. The real spiritual seaker won't mind about monument getting destroyed. Because he knows that he is not seeking monument but God. The Guys who cry about monuments are bascially driving for political gain
What is the reason for not believing in RAM SETU? Can this pseudo secular govt/Soniya-MMS provide tell any other history for RAMSETU. Why the hell they are trying to play with belief of 85 crore people. We hindus believe that it was created in Ramayan time. On what grounds they want to challenge it. Ramayan does not need any proof in any bloody court!

You believe in Ram Setu, that is fine. Don't put your belief into anyone else. You have no idea what others think about it. So don't say 85 crore people believe in this.

Emotionally Neutral view would ask me to say, we should atleast sound progressive even if we are not. If Indian Governments are going to hold on to the view Rama existed, he killed a demon king in Lanka. We are descendants of Our Ram. It implies SriLankans are descendants of Ravan. You see what you have got...foreign policy disaster to say the least.
it is very obvious that the centre has no concern about hindu sentiments. i wonder that if it had been an islamic issue what would be the stance of this govt. even though this govt calls itself secular , in my opinion it is communal because it is only interesred in vote bank politics. wwhat has been believed for ages cannot be just ignored, but then we are hindus - so who is bothered. we don't belong to any vote bank, so our feelings can be easily ignored. i may be drifting a bit from the topic but had Md afazal been a hindu would his hanging be pending for such a long time!
whats the matter with this CENTER? why it is harping on same string again and again? If people cherish that ram setu and don't want to destroy it then why hell this center is eagerly trying to do so? bull*shit that oil rout and all...we will develop some alternative source of energy or nuclear energy if we have peace of mind...but these nagging problems every now and then keeps us diverted from focusing on development and growth.

it suits Sonia's various interests too. Destroying India and everything about INdia and establishing pope rajya in India. Check out who are all her advisors.
Have u forgotten that the previous pope was here in India (about 10 years back) on a Diwali day and boldly announced that the next 1000 years is all about christianizing India and rest of Asia?
