The writer of course is a rabid sanghi. But he has forgotten that the project of clearing the Setu was the brain child of his masters (the BJP. Where was he at that time? Was he having a Kumbhkarna sleep?
We, all Hindus, irrespective of our political affiliations, believe in Lord Ram. But that faith and our devotion to HIM has nothing to do with this project. Lord Ram had built a to enter Lanka to free Mata Sita. But today's need is that our nation needs security so that our naval ships can pass through the strait quickly. Does any one think that the Lord would have opposed this aspect of safety of Aryavrat?
BJP needs a emotive issue to mislead the people at large, like it did with the Ayoudhya. But where is the grand temple it had promised to built. And where are the crores of rupees it and other sanghi organisations had collected?
Please do not for amoment think that the countrymen are fools not to see through your game. Enough is enough. Play political games on principles and national issues. Stop this habit of street fighting and to take up any issue to fulfill your lust for power.

What has BJP or Hinduism got to do with protecting Ram setu ? It is a well known ecological structure which protects the region so why have it destroyed.
This is a new tactic taken up by some pseudo secularists anything to protect Hindus is branded as BJP agenda.
So what do you guys want exactly ? destroy all areas mentioned in Hindu mythology, give prime importance to minorities, support everything anti-Hindu, support conversion and then what ?
I mean if at all the decision making of the so called UPA and Congress was so good we wouldnt be in such bad mess today.
What is wrong with this article ? mentioning terror attacks by jihadis is bad ? or saying that our govt. is not doing anything is bad ?
The common man in India is sick and tired of these sychophants who blame all the problems of their wrong decision on BJP/Hindus and protect the terrorists at all costs.
Of all the persons I would think that ex army person would know better.

With due respect to your Armed Forces background, stop the crap. If somebody talks about Hindu beliefs he is a BJP/Sangh supporter. If the same talks about other religious beliefs he is secular. This shit can happen only India.

Dear mr. Varma! Are you a Hindu? Have you got Faith In Lord RAM.Why Hindus consider Seven hills of Thirupathi as sacred?You may ask how monkeys can construct a bridge just like Karunanidhi of Tamilnadu asked where do ram studied engineering?Hindus consider the nature itself as divine."Vasudhaiva Kudumbakam" have you heardthis Vedic saying?Dont think all can be fooled always. In India everything related to Hindus are seen through the eyes of "secularism" and denied distroyed and termed as RSS BJP COMMUNAL Safforn .I wonder evenafter the evdence adduced in this article no riaght thinking faithful can commend like this.Please enquire whether who are this KrishnaIyer and KT Tomas.They are jems of Indian Judiciary and Krishnaiyer is a great humanist and leftist if can be categorised politically.All movable immovable living ,non living and all creatures related to God is devine and sacred to Hindus having faith.

Do you remember how many soldiers died in the infamous hazrat bal in J & K? BJP is not above board when it comes to corruption and good governance. But corruption and bad governance are the least common factor of all political parties. May be even on these counts BJP fares better. But supporting the govt. that suppresses the agitation in Jammu but blinks when it occurs in Srinagar even though the latter is brazenly unconstitutional.

I thought most of the NRIs have escaped being brain washed and indoctrinated by the P-secularists. I will be happy if you were not a NRI and have gone their to see your relatives. Nobody (from those who are opposing the project) would have supported BJP on this subject if Congress raised the same objection. But for the news, most of us would have been unaware of the whole project. I respect your judgment as you claim to be an ex-service officer. But, I am not sure if Sri Lanka will ever think of fighting a war with India. That is the nearest country if my knowledge of geography is correct. Why should Congress give the BJP one potent political handle when it does not even deem it fit to hang the proven terrorist.
