you are squarely wrong. this nationa has absorbed all faiths and also has let them practice their faith freely. but, but, hindus were here for a very long time. and its more or less - by the virtue of numbers - their to claim - the temples, vast properties, kingdoms, the achievements. we have pride in claiming that it belongs to india and indians. but when it comes to talking about religion why should hindus shy away ? christians and muslims have zero tolerance towards hindus, why shoul hindus be any different ? why shy away from protecting whats an important momument.

the religious debate aside - this deal is only and ONLY to please dmk who own their dredging business. we lose a lot evironmentally. sri lanka has been crying horse about the environment being affected. its a security mess for them too as much as it effects us. practically this is a dead idea - and yet we have no debate, and i'd dare you - not one congress person will ever say anything about christian gods or muslims - its only the hindus they seek to wound with glee - and say expressing oneself as hindus is fundamentalism.
