If we start using Science to investigate religious beliefs, I am sure Hinduism is not the only religion to come under pressure.
When close to a billion people have faith in Lord Rama, who the hell are these people to destroy it. These people are paid by the our tax money and they want to destroy our beliefs.. whats wrong with Tamil Nadu government, what are they trying to prove here???
This so much like what Taliban did in destroying Buddha Statues.

Recently the Government of India has approved a multi-million dollar Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project that aims to create a ship channel across the Palk Strait. The plan is to dredge the shallow ocean floor near the Dhanushkodi end of Rama's Bridge to create enough leeway allowing ships to pass through the channel instead of having to go around the island of Sri Lanka. It is expected to save nearly 30 hours' shipping time by cutting over 400 km off the voyage

The strategic advantages to India derive from obtaining a navigable sea route close to the coast, with a reduction in travel distance of more than 350 nautical miles (650 km) (for larger ships). The project is expected to provide a boost to the economic and industrial development of coastal Tamil Nadu. The project will be of particular significance to Tuticorin harbour, which has the potential to transform itself into a nodal port. The State Government has announced its proposal to develop 13 minor ports, including Ennore, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thondi, Valinokam, Kolachel and Kanyakumari.
Development of the canal and ports is also expected to provide increased maritime security for Tamil Nadu.

we should ask them to consider cutting thru the mainland from Mangalore to Vizag. they can save 4000 miles to reach Bay of Bengal from Arabian ocean and save billions of $$ and time.
