Monument or No Monument, the setu is off limits and that is a constant.
In a country like India where 85% population is Hindu, Muslims can wage a war on grant of few acres of land to the Amarnath board.
Yet, something like Ram Setu which is linked with the feelings of some 850 million Indians, can be trashed and bulldozed over.
There may very well be no Ram Setu, it may simply be a figment of people's imagination and i have no problem if some people put up that arguement. That however is not the point.
The point is the feelings of majority of Indian's and that must be respected. Period.

Very well said Rohit Gupta. The tolerance levels of Hindus are tested repeatedly not just by the islamic terrorists but also by these "secular" policticians. Unfortunately many fall prey to the vote bank politics by these "secular partys" and sentiments of Hindus are repeatedly hit. The issue here is not just to make the waterway by destructing the Ram Sethu but, to appease the leader who is providing the support of about 30 MPs.

The leader who does not think twice about going to the golden temple constructed at a monumental cost, invite the sai baba to his house and follow all superstitions yet decries anyone who believes in god. The father of fraud and hypocracy in the history of Indian politics. What a pity, this great country can do nothing but watch helplessly as this illinformed and foolish fellow's whims and fancies are carried out by a very secular party with the support and orders of a few anti national elements from within and abroad.
