This might be the opinion of some government spin doctors. In the opinion of other experts like S. Badrinarayanan National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), the Ram Setu can only be a man-made structure. In his words:
%u201CCoral reefs, are formed only on hard surfaces. But during (our) study we found that the formation at the Bridge is nothing but boulders of coral reefs. When we drilled for investigation, we found that there was loose sand two to three meters below the reefs. Hard rocks were found several meters below the sand.%u201D
%u201CSuch a natural formation is impossible. Unless somebody has transported them and dumped them there, those reefs could not have come there. Some boulders were so light that they could float on water. Apparently, whoever has done it, has identified light (but strong) boulders to make it easy for transportation. Since they are strong, they can withstand a lot of weight. It should be preserved as a national monument.%u201D
