Rama Setu -1

[Guest]

[EDITED]


Here is the corner that the BJP/ RSS have worked themselves into:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Survey of India and a teacher at the National Institute of Ocean Technology in Chennai, says the layers of the reef show how the Indian Ocean waters receded and came up during several millennia.

'<b>It was one land mass. Reef geology proves that when the temperatures of the oceans rose at the end of the last ice age (the last glacial), a new generation of polyps and other life forms came to inhabit the reef,' Badrinarayanan told IANS.</b>

<b>Dredging and destroying the hard reef would be destroying this 'valuable evidence' of the climate change story</b>, he said.

......

<b>The Janata Party leader says the 'Ramar Sethu' - the land bridge apparently built by an army of monkeys to link India with Sri Lanka - was in use as recently as 1480 and he would take the authorities to court over the dredging</b>.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


So unless the Vanara Sena was composed entirely of whatever composed "reef" during the Ice Ages, the BJP has worked itself into declaring that this is a NATURAL formation - and at the same time it was "man-made".

Wouldn't it be accurate, then, to conclude that the BJP's idea of Humans is
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> Something with the brain of a reef-forming micro-organism<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->???

Just curious.... <!--emo&:guitar--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guitar.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='guitar.gif' /><!--endemo-->

They need to decide WHY they are opposed to dredging the canal.

1. It is a NATURAL FORMATION, formed in the Ice Age, and hence gives valuable data on Global Warming?

(So does measuring the thermal plumes rising from a political convention where they mix religion into politics, by the way..)


2. It is a MAN-MADE formation which is an integral part of Hindu history, and dredging the top 6 meters out in the middle of the sea beyond where anyone ever wants to go see it, would irreparably destroy the fragile heritage of Hinduism?

Right now the propaganda is falling cleanly into the Pu Sagar between these two completely divergent "bridges".

Which is what usually happens when the true intent of the propaganda is not either of these, but just to make a lot of noise.

Husky claims that the finding of HARD ROCK is "irrelevant", which shows how much Husty understands or cares about what is actually there. Oh, BUT.. it must not be disturbed...

When I started posting on this thread I was just trying to understand what the fuss was about, but now that we see the "arguments" of "Bodhi" and "Husky" I understand all right. They haven't decided what the fuss is about, but they have been commanded to make a fuss. <!--emo&:whistle--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='whistle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
