I think the land shouldnt be used for any purpose oder dan religious ....If there is a religious aspect to the land....It just doesnt matter wether Sri Ram existed or not even if Ramayan is pure mythological story ....there is a belief of millions on dat and takes aspiration in their life from it ...to live in a decent manner..Moreover its kind of funny the way government is trying to prove dere was no Sri Ram..I mean does archaelogist etc are 100% sure about what happened in da world from its conception..Archaelogy is a science but wid limitations....Does it not make more sense for the government to respect peoples belief also and give them a freedom and sense of security in the related matters ..Hindus and Muslims included..Last it seems nothing more than a polotical stunt...

Try and educate your community to be wise like you and do not vote congress that is doing nothing for your community except luring you guys for votes. This drama is to grab your communities votes in total in the next elections

Dear Friend Ali, You got to know first that the above debate is not about any peice of land. It relates to the sethu samudram project which intends to reduce the navigation time of ships from Tamilnadu to Sri Lanka. Earlier, the ships had to navigate a long distance and travel thruogh Bay of Bengal. Connecting India and SL by the shortest possible route ( may be by dredging and digging (near adams bridge)) will only save time, money and cost economics. Further it will lead to increased trade. No doubt, religious sentiments should be always respected but at the same time, there should be a reasonable enough arguement. Whatever the Apex court decides shall be abided. If ASI has given its side of theory, the other side has full authority to substantiate its record. One thing to be always kept in mind is, we are a developing country and the growth progress shall never be hindered by unnecessary political gimmicks and cheap publicity stunts as it in no way helps.

Hi Arafat , Thanks for the detailed info .U have a point ..However I still feel government can find out alternative path on the same geographical area ..Instead of making a polotical gimmick ..well u r correct when u said development needs no religion but are Indians dat educated ....Just check around the messages in the board and u will know why development over religion isnt possible amongst this level of religious understanding of masses
