Narayanan/Neelan,
[EDITED]
You both seem to be on a crusade to convince people that saving Ram-Sethu is a worthless cause. Your reasoning being 1) It is a natural structure that is unrelated to Rama 2) Even if it was the actual Ram-Sethu, it had served its purpose and can be demolished. Your stated motivation is that Hindus are wasting resources in this project which can be better utilised. Can I ask what bothers you enough to engage in constructive discussion? Kanchi arrest? Christian subversive activities? Islamic terrorism? What?
From what Bodhi has posted, I think there is enough evidence that this UPA govt is trying to get this structure demolished, the latest proposal going around Dhanushkoti seems to attest to that. Going by this govt's track record, this itself warrants a closer look at the evidence. Many hindus believe that this Bridge was built by Rama/Vanara sena (and squirrels!). That is reason enough to save it.
If you think it is not worth it, feel free to make better use of your time, but keep off this topic.
