Indians are secular people.India is the one and only country which accomodates people of all religions in it.This is the speciality of india.

 

      As the name indicates Hindustan is a hindu country  but it never shows any discrimination on other religion people.Today the UPA govt. is questioning the existence of RAMA.To what extene is it fair??

 

     If the same question had been raised on the existence of christ or allah by any leader of VHP what would have been the effects in India today.There will be a lot of strikes,hadthals,bandhs and lot more nuisance not only in the country but throughout the world.

 

    Whereas when Karunanidhi questioned the existance of RAMA no one exept the BJP leaders questioned him.UPA is not even ready to say even a single word against that.Is this the respect given to the belief of hindus in INDIA.Its not the matter of hinduism but its the matter of the value given to a group(constituting millions of people) of people of a particular religion.

 

  Even if we look towards the ramasethu(renamed as adams bridge by the britishers) in a scientifical manner,removing it would cause devastating effects .

 

 During the last tsunami in December 2004, the Ramar Bridge, also known as Adams Bridge in the Palk Bay acted as a natural barrier preventing the direct devastation of the entire South Indian coastline, south and southwest of Nagapattinam. Thus the Ramar Bridge, traditionally and popularly also known as Ramasethu, played a key role in protecting the coastline in South India against the unforeseen ravages of the tsunami in December, 2004.

           The implementation of the Sethusamudram Canal Project (SSCP) will operationally involve the breaking and dismantling of the Ramar Bridge for creating a 300-meter wide canal. This in turn will suck the next, impending, tsunami waves directly into the South Indian coastline. The spread of the massive displacement of waters displaced by the Tsunami 'plate tectonics' of 2004 was such that it doused the Southern Tamilnadu coastline, circling the entire Sri Lanka Island and moving partially into Kerala and towards the Ramar bridge. This circling around Sri Lanka occurred because the Ramar Bridge acted as a natural shoal barrier preventing the inflow of waters. If the Sethusamudram Canal is dug through the bridge, it will act as the channel for the waters to flow directly into the entire Southern India coastline beyond Dhanushkodi and into the coastline of Kerala right into the Konkan region. The resultant devastation will be incalculable. Keeping this aspect in mind, Dr. Tad S. Murty, an acknowledged international authority on the 'Tsunamis' has clearly indicated that creating the Sethusamudram Canal as per the existing alignment will only lead to unprecedented disasters during the next Tsunami which can happen at any time. Dr. Murthy is Chief Editor of the reputed International Tsunami Journal 'Science of Tsunami Hazards' for over two decades. To quote his exact words of warning in this context: 'I like this (Sethusamudram) project, but there is a flaw. The entrance to the channel should be re-oriented towards the eastern side. Otherwise, there is a chance that it may create a deepwater route for another devastating tsunami. This may cause huge destruction in Kerala.' Taking note of this ominous warning, Government of India should immediately stop the construction of the project till this technical point raised by Dr Tad S Murty is carefully considered by a team of experts drawn from all the concerned technical fields, including the whole gamut of Earth Sciences.

 

So the govt. of INDIA should look into this matter and take corrective measures so as to avoid great disasters in the coming future.

 

I think that lives of millions of indians(which would be affected by next possible tsunami) is uncomparable to the income or revenue or savings which would be generated through the new project sethu.
