Ramar Sethu, a world heritage centre?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code says sentiments of the people about sacredness should be respected. If anybody hurts the sentiments of people, it is a cognisable offence. But here, the state says a monument does not exist and is trying to destroy it instead of protecting it. With all these evidences to back my point, I say that Ramar Sethu should be declared a world heritage site.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
