Ram setu is natural phenomenon formed by sediments and merine depositions which formed sandy mantle. Previously it has width of few hundred meters with direct contact with srilanka and belived that it slowly submerged due to rise in ocean level which happend. which indcates that it was neither constructed by any man or god rama. The deapth of sea is very low between india and srilanka at the region spanning few km width. This is classic phenomenon of errosion of soil at this low laying regions with collision of tides of arbaian sea and bey of bengal due to generation tides in opposite direction to each other. It is quite possible for progressive soil erosion spanning many thousend years which made this tip more narrower till early historical periods. and continued to errode completly and susequently sumerged in the sea at present
.....But it is wrong on the part of Govt. by telling there is ram never existed .... really hurts relegious sentiments.
