It is greatly perplexing to think some army would choose to build a bridge that may take sevaral years to cross the shallow sea , as deep as 3 ft to 12 ft throughout the 30 kilometer span.
Any army with the least common sense would have built ships, probably not as complex as ocean going ships as they are not nessasary as the waters here are vey shallow. even river crossing boats would have been enough.
So what prompteed the great Rama to build the bridge no one is asking.The matter of he comming to Dandakaranya by crossing many rivers is well known by the so called historians, who think puranas are absolute history. he did not build a single bridge across any river he crossed during his journey to the south , but chose to travel by boats.
So what may be true is that the sethu may be existing there eternally even before Rama arrived at Daniskodi, and Rama may be the first one to identify the submerged coral reefs during his reconnesense of the sea.
Rama probably being a wise general used it by putting some boalders on the top of the submerged sethu, in the process saving the time rather than building the ships.
And the next question we should ask ourselves is if we have to go for the sethusamudram project. Well if sethusamudram project costs say some 20k crores, and the allignment costs us more than 30k corese, then we need not change the allignment.Ous is a poor nation the extra money saved can be utilised in poverty eradication schemes rather than wasting the money u

The country is already witnessing communal riots in North India thanks to Ayodhya Ram. There are vested interests to bring such situation in South India through Sethu Ram issue.

Contd.
Well the extra money saved can be utilised in poverty eradication schemes rather than wasting the money uselsessly , in any way only about 300 ft is going to be distructed in the sapn of say 30 kilometers.
Those who are againist the sethusamudram project and tell puranas are rich Indians , they have no empathy for the poor Indians and they donn have interest in the upliftmnet and education of the massesThey also live a grand and luxurious life by enraging the pations of people by invoking religion.
These are the same people who sapported the Nepal royal king and talked againist the democracy of that nation.These are the same people who sapported crimees against humanity by advocating untouchability. These are the same people who sapported crimes againist women by sapporting the culture of Devadasis or temple prostitutes.

My point was commonsencical argument about weather Lord Rama truly built that bridge or not.
My argument was if we really needed the sea connection for navivation for the west and east coasts of India. If we need that, at what cost,and time.
You need to be either a Dalith or shudra to know about the greatness of Hinduism, being a brahimin you have got so many privilages which you and ur genre are afraid of loosing,if fellow hindus think rationally.
Regarding the bribes issue where were you when the MLAs of Karnataka were bribed by the BJP ,where were you when the BJP Govt sold the family silvers of BALCO, VSNL,IPCL and Maruti for a song ,where by making hundreds of crores for themselves and their political party.

Ram or Krishna or Naratha or vishwamitra or many
alwars,saints and yogis are not brahmins but belong to other castes from dalits to shudras to
vaishias or sherikas ect.so hinduism consist of all sort of people,all language people,all gods
of different differnt thoughts and different ideologies and it encompose many spheres of life
and hence there is no question of any caste in this discussion.BJP sold BALCO,VSNL,IPCL and
MARUTI for higest bidders and put all these money in highways projects and power projects
which was not pursued by present UPA govt which wants to put in sscp of sethu which is not worth economicaly as per latest study.UPA govt
allowed all multinational firms in commodities market and today you have cargill,australian wheat board in local business which pushed up the prices of all commodities.hence this is reason for inflation.BJP was better than congress if not good.

I would like to correct your self Mr qalillo
If allmost all or partly the saints are from non brahmin origion then why the hindu system discriminates people along caste line? And y they never abolished untouchability ,or even y they did not permit intra caste marriages?
These said companies were sold for a song because foreign firms were barred from bidding.
Then bjp govt fecilitated a ring formation where by they decided who would bid and how much.
The glaring misdeed was in selling IPCL to reliance as they were competirors and then Govt created a monoploy by selling it to reliance.
