you want the nation to spend billions, so you need the onus is on you to prove the benefits. We have to measure the benefits against costs, including that of hurting religious sentiment.

Will ships passing thru Dhanushkodi give livelyhood to fishermen who will lose their work? Will it generate enough international money to give a school in every deprived village? Will it give jobs to every unemployed youth? No. The money will go to Baalu's shipping ministry and will be used only in shipping matters. Ships passing through will only open up a smuggling route for drugs, weapons, and foreign goods and will encourage rampant prostitution and drug culture in the backwards poor areas in its's route besides opening up a new front for Pak terrorists to exploit along with LTTE. Besides dredging the sea channel is not a natural thing and will destroy the natural environment of the sea and will only create more problems when the sea will retaliate. Then, when the next earthquake or Tsunami strikes, the results will be more severely destructive. Has the UPA assessed what damage the coastlines of TN and Kerala will suffer due to this misadventure and whether a natural calamity won't be craeted by upsetting the internal checks, balances and dynamics of the sea? To my knowledge no country has dug shipping canals in the sea. This could weaken some fragile sea beds and lead to frequent sea quakes, tsunamis, disasters and sea storms. Who will then pay the price my friend? People of Tamil Nadu living in coastal areas of course! And where will your Periyaars and Karunanidhis be when that happens? Your guess is as good as mine.
