I think that the author has not made any Scientific Analysis. Although I am a practicing Hindu and I think this article is merit-less. Take for example the statement : "The scientific interpretation of the photographs of the remains of Adam's Bridge (Ram Setu) taken by NASA's [Images] Gemini-11 spacecraft in 2002, reveals that this ancient bridge linking India to Sri Lanka [Images] was manmade, and it was dated to be at least 1.75 million years old."
Did he site any references of this alleged Scientific Interpretation? No peer-review of this! I think that the author and in-turn rediff did a poor job on this article.

Ram was God or King? If he was a king, then why do hindus worship a ruler instead of worshiping god?

god is someone who is unique and divine.. definetly not human... if god wants to teach humans right path he would do in his own divine ways.. he does not need to become a human himself. A car manufacturer doesnt have to become a car himself to tell how the car operates.. he just publishes a manual. When humans can be that smart I expect God to be smarter and better..

Dear Zain,God never 'become' human.He may have the form of a human being but He is not made of matter,rather He is sat,chit ananda vighra,that is,His form is made of eternality,knowledge and bliss.In other words He is purely spiritual.He has provided us a manual for the 'car'(human being.It is called the Bhagvad Gita.

WASHINGTON (PTI) -- The NASA Shuttle has imaged a mysterious ancient bridge between India and Sri Lanka, as mentioned in the Ramayana.
The evidence, say experts matter-of-factly, is in the Digital Image Collection.
The recently discovered bridge, currently named as Adam's Bridge and made of a chain of shoals, 30 km long, in the Palk Straits between India and Sri Lanka, reveals a mystery behind it.
The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man-made. Legend as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent.

This information may not be of much importance to the archeologists who are interested in exploring the origins of man, but it is sure to open the spiritual gates of the people of the world to have come to know an ancient history linked to the Indian mythology.
