Ram Setu
by Vinaya Das on Sep 16, 2007 11:28 PM

Fanaticism is not going to help us. It is against Hindu philosophy.Let us not spread hatred but try to understand facts as they are. Mythology and history are two different things, while mythology has its own importance since our psyche is guided by it we must understand that we cannot progress in life and develop our country and remove poverty and ignorance amongst our people by being blind to facts and history.To say that Ramayan is history is denigrating its importance. All religions have their own mythology but they do not allow that to influence their logical and scientific thinking.Those who do so remain poor and ignorant. The scientific fact is that what is considered Setu on the basis of mythology and blind faith is nothing but sandbars seperating two pieces of land mass.Even NASA's recent statement states that.Let us not spread hatred and ignorance in the name of religion.It was BJP that sanctioned the project when they were in power, now they are trying to score brownie points for political reasons but they should know that this may give them short term gain but eventually it will fail just as the temple movement did.
