September 14, 2007

By Amrit Pal 

SethusamudramIt all started on Wednesday when the Centre told the Supreme Court that there was no historical evidence to establish the existence of Lord Ram or the other characters in Ramayana.

Needless to say, it created a lot of ruckus in the country and everyone from political parties to common men took this issue very seriously. Before more damage could be done the Congress stalwarts swung into action, did a U-turn, started chanting Ram-Ram and agreed to withdraw the controversial affidavit - all this in a matter of two days.

Lets understand the background of this story to put things in perspective. In an affidavit filed before the apex court, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had rejected the claim of the existence of the "Rama Setu bridge" in the area where the project was under construction. The multi-crore rupee project proposes to provide a shorter sea route from Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka. If this happens, Rameshwaram would become one of the largest harbours in India at the end of this project.

The strategic advantages to India derive from obtaining a navigable sea route close to the coast, with a reduction in travel distance of more than 350 nautical miles (650 km) (for larger ships). The project is expected to provide a boost to the economic and industrial development of coastal Tamil Nadu. The project will be of particular significance to Tuticorin harbour, which has the potential to transform itself into a nodal port. The State Government has announced its proposal to develop 13 minor ports, including Ennore, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thondi, Valinokam, Kolachel and Kanyakumari.

However, according to the Ramayana and beliefs, Sri Rama and His Vaanar Sena built a bridge from Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka thousands of years ago. Some Hindu organizations and religious figures, including the Shankaracharya of Puri, have opposed the project, pointing out that it would destroy the "Ram Setu".

Others have opposed the project on environmental grounds, and fears of the effect it will have on the livelihood of some 20 million fisherfolk in the coastal districts.

My Good friend and Proud Indian / bretheren,

Thanks so much for your comments.

We have had our temples broken and a mosque constructed in most places in India and till date due to so called Minority sentiments we cannot construct a temple at very own birth places of Sri Ram and Sri Krishna.

You are forgetting the humans are non other but decendents of apes and monkeys as said in science / history.

Limited knowledge on Sri Ramayana proves the point you make as those were touched by divne Lord Ram himself while contructing the bridge and for the cause of divine.

Myth was called by the Mughals who wanted to prove them superiors and same was done by British.

Many crossbreds / converts just 2 generation in minorities also do carry same notion as they them selves do not know who they are.
Why are the Scinetists from US trying to record what was spoken by Lord Sri Krishna on the moon.?

Why is the CIA after the Bhrigu Shastra which reveals all your past birth and this with valid name and proofs of your current birth. Merely written on leafs it has history for few centuries HOW? Myth is it??

No my good Hindusthani Bhai its Science which is transalted as Myth by masses as they are and remain ignorant till date. This was so that the British could rule and unfortunately our Indian Politicians do same.

We are actually Vaishnavs and Hindus from Indus Valley its the oldest as far as civilisation and religion is concerned. Hindu again was name given by the Mughals who when heading to India came to Indus Valley Civilization also called Sindhu Ghatee kee Sabhyata and due to their pronunciation problems could not say Sindhu and instead called people in that Sindhu Valley, as 'Hindus'... hence Hindustan.

Surely this will add up to your knowledge data base clearting illusions masses have.

We all remain PROUD Indians !

Jai Hind ! Vande Matram !

First Question, Where is Muslim apeasement in this case, y u take everything which is against hinduism as favouring muslims, particulartly speaking about the above case, there is no envolvement of muslims from anywhere, it just a matter of some scientific evidence and development of indian economy. Personally I beleive tht the above said bridge was built by God, as I beleive everything on earth is created only by God, but if you tell me to beleive that it was constructed by some Monkeys or apes I am sorry to say I cant beleive it. what image we are giving to the other world by making a issue of this. The only thing which should be considered here is advantages & disadvantages, what is its effect on ecology, what is gain, what is the loss. after considering only these thing judgement should be taken and not on Mythology, one of my friend takes it very seriously when it is called as mythology, u know the reason y it is called myth, its simple, coz its really a myth and everyone is aware of it and no one objects on it. Just bcoz u r a born hindu it not ur responsibility to justify all the wroungs, awake u indian and dont be a hindrance in development of india.
Kind Regards
Proud Indian.

Wake UP Hindus NOW or Never

Its a wake up call for Hindus or get ready to see your children converting to other religions
not too far in future as when they will marry inter religion due to masses killing female foetus and growing factor of other MINORITY poppulation.

Hey Ram!Bapu Gandhi ji would have said to this.

Can we call any other religion a myth or mythology pertaining its NOT TRUE and simply made up.

Can Ambilka Soni or Italian Catholic leader of India challange existance of Jesus Christ / Allah or call Bible / Quran a mythology????

Can they allow a painter (calling Hussain an artist is an insult to art guild) to pain Muslim leader or Christian Gods in nude.....

What an uproar was made my Christians in India when screening of a movie was challenged which was on acceptable to so called minor community in India.

I cannot beleive why we allow our heritage and history to be called a Myth by these so called Country leaders and Hindus hear / accept it shamelessly submitting to this ludicrous statement instead of revolting against it.

I have written about this on Thai Indian day before yesterday and only one , 'Anonymous' soul has the courage to come up and take this further.

Can I request more dedicated Hindus to come forward and write against or for it. Call spade a spade for once. PLEASE.

Not even the British or the Mughals would have made this outrageously inane statement. The affidavit… only shows the UPA government is totally out of sync with the people it is ruling.

“Is it that the Congressmen under the tutelage of the Italian Catholic leader have stopped worshipping Sri Ram?”

The Congress has clarified that the “offending” part in the affidavit was unintentional and that there is no question of disputing Ram’s existence.This is like committing murder of Hindu masses and say it was not meant or Unintenional.

“Sonia Gandhi will never understand this country. But Sri Manmohan Singh, a confirmed religious Sikh, should have known better .”

“Does it mean if Sonia Gandhi has her way, (she) will dissuade people from reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, singing Tulsidas’s Ramayan and celebrating Ramlila?”



Imagine this printed in todays newspaper as ...
Quote of the day.
I do not wish to enter into a conflict with Jairam, A-Ram or B-Ram
Ambika Soni
on Jairam Ramesh’s hint that she should resign on the setu controversy

She is still VERY MUCH directly and indirectly blasphemious
and insulting Sri Ram.! Still....

Look betweeen the lines

Jai Sri Sri Sita Ram ! Jai Hanuman !

I agree. While no one can deny the need for industrial development, taking it to the level of insulting religious beliefs is completely unacceptable. Try saying something same about Christianity in US or abut Islam in Muslim dominated countries. Do you think this can be ever done. Why do newspaper always have to write about Hindu 'mythology' when writing about Lord Ram. Do they use this word when referring to Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammad

Jai Sri Sri Sita Ram !

This just proves that the Congress and its leaders can go low to take more muslim votes and make this country NON Hindu.
This is a very serious matter where they voiceferociously jointly declare non existing of Lord Sri Sri Ram !
This can only happen where Hindus in Hindustan can bear such direct insults and keep voting for this nincompoop government.
What else can be expected when the head of Congress party herself is Catholic who like muslims do not believe in existance of any other religion.
This low class move by our so called leaders of India need a HINDU JAGRAN amongst us Hindus with immediate effect to eradicate such happenings in now and positively in future.
This is indeed a shame so called leaders of Indian politics misleading the media worldwide.
They are worst than what painter Mr.Husain did by painting our gods and godesses in nude. Could a Hindu do this in any Muslim country??. Insulting the Hindus now a days get votes in Hindustan / India???

I would like to request all who agree with this to please come and write more and give your views.

Jai Sri Ram !
