The religious Hindus are opposed to Sethu Project. Not because they think it affects the marine biology or because it is expensive but because they think that this Adams Bridge is nothing but a construction by Lord Rama (of Ramayana) used by Rama to invade Lanka According to mythology (as foretold in Ramayana), Rama constructed a bridge with the help of army of monkeys to invade Lanka. So, these experts suggest that this Adams bridge between India and Sri Lanka is indeed the same bridge that Rama constructed. Some of them, in an attempt to gleefully satisfy this theory have even suggested that Rama and his cohorts existed more than 1.7 million years ago to coincide with the time this formation happened.

Dear sitaram sakthi, when we question the story of Jesus' birth, why can't we question the story of Ram's birth also? Hope you are aware of that.

i have also researched about this so called 'ram sethu' and found exactly what u mentioned. i agree with what u're saying but its hard for those big heads hindus. no body even knows if ram ever existed and they are counting on the structure made by hypothetical ram.

Could you please share some information on the sources you referred to.
If Ram did not exist, then you can also safely negate the existence of Allah, Jesus, etc.
Dum hai kya? Why no one dares to make such comments against Islam or Christianity? Because of swift response from fanatic who does not mind dying, when they attempt killing any opponent?
