Whether Ram Sethu is a man made structure or some sand dunes created by avalanche of sea water ? Perhaps no one can give a specific answer to this question and all answers are based on some hypothesis or 'hypothetical material evidence'! But presently no one is asking this question - The question here is whether these Ministers would have dared to talk against the beliefs of the people of so called 'Minoroty Communities', if those sand dunes were related to their faith? We are certain that the answer for this question is a 'BIG NO'! It is also said that only small and medium sized vessels can pass through the proposed canal and it is of no use for big vessels. In such a case, is it economically viable to spend Rs 2500 crores on this project ? What will the be the impact on security of our porous borders in the said area? Once canal is declared open, it will be treated as international waters and do we have the defense preparedness to face any eventualities in that area ? If not, why there is such haste to carry on with the project ? In my native language there is proverbial say - " One who steals an areca nut will certainly be punished as a 'thief' but one who can steal an elephant will always be honored as a 'king'"- Those who are trying to steal an elephant are trying to reform the thieves who are capable of stealing nothing but areca.
