The way to achieve the Sethu project is not by denying Ram existed. This automatically means the bridge was man made. I'm not sure the project is financially beneficial. You can read it in www.ramsethu.org. If you are bent on having this project completed, why not take a little diversion? Nobody is saying scrap the project totally. It is the ego and arrogance of MK that comes on the way of the progress of the project.

Dear Mr.Mahesh There is no alternate way possible as it will be suicidal for marine life and ecology. Nobody who have little common sense would sacrifice ecology and enviroment in place of your imaginary bridge built across sea 17 lakh years ago.

Sonu I would have said the same thing, if they told Jesus had built the bridge. Even for expanding highway's they are removing temples and proceed with that.. This project will bring in 10 new ports in the south india and will make tuticorin as a world class port, which will be a boon to the entire south. BJP is just causing unncessary problems and is being a obstacle to gain electoral gains -- Nothing more

10 new ports mean it may be good. But will the dmk and you will be there to see that al the 10 will be completed; or will you stop this project after getting your due and left others as nont feasible. Is it a boon to the entire south or to the DMK party. In south we have different languages and how the DMK can digest it. Will you suggest for tamil to be the national language of south. Can you say anything if the bridge was built by Allah, then you can see what can happen to you. You dont say anythingbut watch silently everything and enjoy like cilvill war our war against Britisers Moghuls Pakisthan etc.

BJP always brings religion only when they are in the oppossotion. When they are rule they dump ram into the trash can.

Dear, Mr. Bala Krishnan, marine life and ecology will be impacted in whatever manner you disturb the bridge. Anyway, don't tell me MK & co and Indian govt are worried about the ecology. Whether the bridge is imaginary or not the expected financial benefits are definitely imaginary. It is being compared to Suez or Panama canal by the proponents. There couldn't be a more ridiculous argument. MK is more concerned about this as hurting Hindu sentiments (no matter whether you believe in Ram or not) will fetch him minority votes by solidifying his 'secular' character.

Mahesh, Scientists from various diciplines studied all aspects of alternative routes to the sethu project and the existing route is a safe passage interms of minimising ecological risk.

The secientists you are referring to is the Tuticorin port trust that completed the studies in 2 days. Again the financial benefits are overblown. How many ships are now going around Sri Lanka or how many are not coming this way because they have to go around Sri Lanka. It is just common sense that nothing big will be achieved by this project. What about the fishermen that would be impacted by this project? This project is giving the athiests and Hindu bashers a tool to tout Hindus under the guise of development.

Have you visisted the Sethu Samuduram project and saw the concerns raised and the answers. Please go through them and come for a neat discussion. And for argument sake -- Sand deposits are less important than economy of our people and anyone who are unbiased would feel the same.
