What is Raam Sethu?
Stretch of limestone shoals between Dhanushkodi near Rameshwaram in Southern India and Manner in Northwest Sri Lanka.
The Archeological Survey of India decided that Raam Sethu is a myth and Vanara Sena never constructed it. This not even hurts emotions of millions of Indians but degraded our perspective about religion before the world.
NASA..hmmmm..:
First of all, do we need NASA to certify that Raam Sethu is not a man build bridge? How old is NASA and how genuine is the outfit that sends Astronomers into space who are drunk 12 hours before the flight. Lets DONOT even dare to have an alternate name "Adam's Bridge" for Raam Sethu. This is not just an issue with bridge. There are sentiments of millions of people associated with it.
When we as humans are not even able to decipher what our complex "brains" think how on the earth can a report refute that Raam Sethu is a myth which has been in existence for lakhs of years.
Ramayana was written centuries back and had a mention of "pushpaka vimanam" before anyone dreamt of modern day airplane. Did Valmiki had a NASA scientist around him when he wrote Ramayana who verified the logic we use today.?
The modern day missile head to head collusion technology (the theory of arrows being destroyed in air) has been elaborately described in Ramayana way before there was NASA to proof read it.
Faith:
Faith is very volatile and no one has any right to condemn a belief. If tomorrow a survey comes up saying that Jesus was a human being and someone found his relics wouldn't that sound foolish. Isn't it blasphemous to say (or even paint) anything against Prophet. Isn't it foolish to say anything against Jewish faith? How can someone even dare to say anything against the most popular religion which teaches only peace and faith that integrates people all around the world.
Hindus have history that dates back thousands of years and our holy scriptures Vedas and Upanishads describe the way of life way before anyone could possibly prove that human beings existed. Lets don’t make ourselves fools before the world with foolish reports like the one Archeological Survey of India gave to Supreme Court.
Apology:
Who is Sonia Gandhi to say "sorry". Does Sonia rendering an apology cleanse the image tarnished by a "foolish" report? Please don’t make this issue "vanish" only by one person-rendering apology.
Government is responsible for securing the safety of citizens. Being a socialist, sovereign, secular country the government is responsible for any such report which condemns the existence of a religion. The Prime Minister with the concerned portfolio Minister is responsible and every Indian deserves an apology for humiliating our feelings.
FAITH NEVER NEEDS CLARIFICATIONS AND PROOFS.
Jai Hind
