History is something that we should learn from. It may not be possible to preserve all historical sites. However religion should not be used as a tool to put an impediment too any progressive project which can help the masses. If there is an alternative way of going about the project witout destroying the so called sethu then it should be explored. However if not possible then past should make way for the present. All the problems of mankind are because we try to live our lives as per the past. But only the present is relevant.

Our grand parents are also our past. They seldom approve the freedom that we want. What to do with them ?

Dont tell me that you do everything that ur grand parents tell you. And if your grand parents are alive then, they are in the present and not in the PAST. We need to be in the present, here and now. Just try and see if you can try to live in the present. It is very difficult but if you can do it, then all your problems will vanish.

Just read what Mahendra wrote: I think it is ur reply.
Why was the route of Metro passing 'close' Qutub Minar in New Delhi was abandoned and later reworked fearing prospective damages to this 815 years man made monument?
Why the project of Taj corridor (which would have made lot of dollars to our money minded govt) was put off after the hue and cry of environmentalists as the construction near Taj 'may' cause bad effect on this 359 years old man made monument. Please give attention here that these monuments were not going to be destroyed but were 'feared' to get damaged.
Will any government in China would destroy or even alter The great wall of China(2695 years old) for the sake of any amount of money?
Will any one allow pulling down 4507 years old Pyramids of Egypt in lieu of any uncountable amount of money?
If the answer is NO, then why this 17,25,000 years old man made monument is being destroyed for the sake of some coins?

The PYRAMIDA of Egypt, Great Wall of China and Qutub Minar are great sources of tourism. Many people are dependent on it for their livelihood. It boosts tourism which in turn generates various earning opportunities. The questions to be asked is, Would the Sethu project benefit the masses? Are there people who are dependent on the Sethu for their liveleihood?

The Government could leave the disputed area untouched and make it as a tourist attraction by sending tourists in glass bottom boats to see what is inside the sea. That could compensate for whatever is the revenue loss of diversion.
