It does not matter what you say. If patriotism was so cheap and just verbal, we would be doing great. But that is far from the truth. I want our nation to progress. I am in favor of all illegal structures constructed that hinder our progress.
There is a middle ground to this problem. Best solution is to do a "Suez Canal".
Have a small section carved out, suffient for NAVY/Merchant ships to cross (Taking into consideration the Future demand).
There can be monuments (Private, No government Money) built on either side for the Hindus to practise their faith.

Take a look at this map http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/sri_lanka_pol00.jpg Expand on it Please !
You will see the thin strip of land ending at Dhanushkodi
Couple of miles before Dhanushkodi you will see that the land is thinnest.
Dig a Canal there !!!! It will not be a major feat. A Simple feat of Engineering which will take 2-3 years. This canal will be 0.6 miles wide. Which is wide enough for ships to pass.
That is all there is to it. You will be preserving RAM SETU and also accomplish the objective of cutting a passage from PALK STRAIT to the GULF OF MANNAR.
