Dear Sridhar 1. Religion can't be ignored 2. The corals in Ram Sethu are an envioronmental treasure. You are suggesting environmental trespass, and the corals are supposed to have protected the Kerals from the Tsunami effect 3. The total time advantage will just be 12 hours, nothing to boast of in terms of economic benefits 4. Only 10% ships will be allowed to pass through, as it has the capacity to allow low tonnage ships. I dont support BJP, but idiots like you, with no sense of economic/environment/religious suitability and desirability, just to have some say, jump into a discussion without any heads or tails. God give sense to your brainless head. Thanks Biplav
