Dr.Kalam's statement makes good sense. But what is the Govt. doing ? Going ahead with a uranium deal on the one hand and doing something to deplete thorium reserves on the other.
To be more detailed, the rock formation between India and Sri Lanka (called Rama Sethu) has a lot of thorium deposits on it. If we break or dredge this formation, then those thorium deposits would get washed away from our shores and may get scatterd on the shores of other lands - even Pakistan.
Now, tell us, what makes strategic sense - the present Sethu Samudram project or the preservation of Rama Sethu ?
