May be you can cross post if not already posted there.
British governor wanted Ram Sethu declared national monument in 1914
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Lord Pentlen, who was the governor of the Madras presidency between 1912 and 1919, had written to the then Indian Viceroy Lord Hardinge in December 1914 to have an archaeological study conducted on the Ram Sethu - between Rameshwaram, in India, and Sri Lanka - to ascertain if it could be declared a national monument.
'I would earnestly request you to direct the Archaeological Survey of India to undertake an extensive and intensive survey of Rameshwaram and its beautiful environs, particularly with reference to historic and primordial Adam's Bridge, for declaring it as a national monument,' Lord Pentlen wrote to Lord Hardinge after touring Rameshwaram in 1914.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
