This is a clear case of neglecting the feelings of crores of indians. If we are protecting things few BCs old, this case deserves it for sure being old enough. The debate whether the bridge was built by Rama or was it an already existing natural one and was just used by Rama is immaterial. It is a matter of belief and if people believe the structure to be sacred and used by rama, there is no harm in protecting it. I assume no one wil take this debate to the more philosophical question of belief etc. since the world starts with belief. We "believe" our parents to be our parents and never ask for any DNA report from them. The same holds for national heros as well. We believe in Rama as a national hero and hence the belief about the sea bridge associated with his sea crossing must be protected. We can surely have other alternative as suggested by some people. The problem of this country is that not only bloody politicians but even the comman men can not think beyond politics. Every issue is taken as a political gimmick, what ever be it's importance and domain, social, cultural, spiritual etc. The govt. has not yet done any detailed research about the whole thing and just on the basis of initial few findings discarding the whole affair. Hope fully people will realise that the so calles secular govt. is actually becoming communal by hurting the feelings of crores of hindus. Can you imagine a place having any relation with Prophet Mohammed or Jesus being destroyed. The whole country must have been in burning by now. I can't stop thinking that the govt is determined to destroy any thing that is attached to lord RAMA. Giving tirupati devasthanam's land to christians and many more such incidents in the past have already happened and how many more are yet to come?
