Economically not feasible?
by Jeffrey Mittal on Sep 17, 2007 07:29 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

This is from a person who works in the field as to the economic justification for this.



Read reasearch and comment not shoot off some gibberish



"An economic analysis of theis project



" Even though they blast off the whole structure, NONE of commercial ship can

pass though it. This ship would be coming again in same route -encircling Sri

Lanka.



- The economic returns will be not equalized even in 80-90 years to the

investment made till now.. as it can only pass small boats and steamers



- The ecological hazard will be more than any return in your national interest

as it will devastate the sea ecology. That can not be undo in any case.



- The digging ship which was bought from Holland is damaged which cost 200

million $ as rock structure is not oceanic



- Kerala will be exposed to Tsunami waves, it was ram setu, which protected it..



And at last but not least- Its matter of faith. Let me ask you a simple question

- would you allow to dig a oil well if petroleum found at Kaba?? though Oil well

can be more in national interest of Saudi Arabia.



For more insights read Indian Express dated 14th Sept. 2007, Hindustan (Hindi)

and Mint of 13th Sept. 2007. You can find how this proposed project is not

feasible from economic point of view as well."



I have been working on the Ram Setu since last two years from Remote Sensing and

GIS perspective.... cont'd below

RE:The real economics about the Ram Sethu

I have been working on the Ram Setu since last two years from Remote Sensing and

GIS perspective. One can manipulate common population using technical jargons as

someone quoted NASA on the age determination of Ram Setu. Of course one can

not decide the age of rock, but the structure, formation, association and

visual interpretation can always be done. And this is where remote sensing is

concern.



- On the basis of remote sensing principles and image analysis my study found

that this structure is man made.



- It is constructed on the basic bridge making rules



- Ram Setu is best example of cross channel bridge as it is designed sustain the

waves and tsunami current, which are frequent in Bay of Bengal."



So this is from a person who works in the field.



So, readers understand that this NOT ECONOMICALLY A GREAT IDEA, unless you are Karunanidhi, Sonia etc. to steal govt. money

What some on this board are trying to use a logic or "economic sense" to justify destroying what is important to the Hindus is debunked.



But I am sure that this won't make the pseudo-secular media headlines.



So why this projec

Hi man



Youneed sense.



I dont care whther Ram "was" alive or somebody built a bridge there as long as it did not bring any value to the society.



Talking of nonsense olden days or heritage does not give food or improve our economy. The author is naroow mided perhaps from BJP.



Karunanidhi or no one is going to benefir from this project excpet the whole of India. This in progressive outllok



Dont think like Commnunits they are a cancer to the progress

The whole country has become napunsak...

Sonia is scr--ing India and we are having fun!!!

Wake up NOW, and protect out heritage, our beliefs. This channel proposed by the NEW governmet, will only divide us. The channel is easily bypassable, routes around the Sri Lanka mainland.



Besides, What are the Saviours of Hinduism doing at this time...kaan parr jooo bhee nahin rengti aajkall...

All those who beleive in Hinduism are its saviours, not these politicians.



YOU have to wake up and do what is right, starting locally, not wait for these opportunistic poiliticians to manipulate and destroy India.



It is a hard road, but it has to start with each individual and you have to decide not wait for lighning to hit you.

Sir,



You seem to be a member of the Sangh Parivar. You and your cult project Brahmin faith as Hindu faith. Read Hindu sentiment as Brahmin sentiment and one could get a clear picture of your apprehension over 'Ram bridge'. I am a Hindu as well and I don't get carried away by your cult's "white collar saffronism".In one aspect,I am extremely proud of having Mr.Karunanidhi as our Chief minister. Next to Periyar and Annadurai it is Mr.Karunanidhi who has managed to keep Hinduism (Brahminism) at bay. And I could understand the hatred you guys have for him,because there is no takers for your ideology here in Tamilnadu.



Cheers

Siddarth

Read what is written bfore talking or writing.



This is an economic analysis.



The belief about Ram is personal and important part of the many Hindus and I can wirte about that BUT what I wrote above is economic sense.



Do you know that the entire runway at Kolkatta airport had to be rerouted at great expense to preserve some small mosque.



Know your facts before talking.



If you have you eyes open you may realise that how many crores are being siphoned off from the government for various projects that go nowhere and I am certain that this is also one of them.



Before you make some ridiculous, irrelevant answer, maybe you can find out about the BOFORS scandal, among others.



Wjhat about the roads built by hte Govenrment contractors that don't last ONE season , while in the developed countries they can withstand tempratures for 0 to 44 degrees without too much problems.



So, before you use the same crap about the BJP, try to understand what one is talking about.



Of course, I know that the pseudo seculars b.s is what I can expect like you are trying.



To end this , how many Gvernmnet projects have been profitable and gievn people a healthy reurn on their money,

If you lose your connection with old heritage your future food will also be gone. You idiot.

Try denigrating semetic religions in public. It the the tolerance of Hindus that is giving idiots like karunanidhi a chance to denigrate hinduism

@ siddarth swamy



To answer your prejudiced statement, I was not born in a Brahmin family, but as per Vedanta, I aspire to be one , i.e. knowing Brahma Vidya, the Ultimate truth or what is ascribed in Sanatana Dharma.



Unfortunately, your blind hatred, no doubt inculated by previous contacts with the likes of Commies, misionaries, or their like does not even allow you to think clearly.



Do you know what is meant by Varna?



It is by your action that you are classified by Varna.



When you spew hatred like you demonstrate, you are predominantly living in Tamo Guna with very little Satva or Rajas.

These actions make you what you are. maybe by using some logic, you can figure out where you belong and how you can raise yourself up.



Since you have a name that has Swami in it, why don't you try to understand what that name implies. It help you get above the morass of blind hatred towards any group of people be it Brahmin or otherwise.
