Numerous times I have heard of the stories of the Ramayana. Each one engaging, meaningful, usually with a great moral behind it which can be applied to situations we face in today’s society.
Yes I am a Hindu based in the UK and I have always felt that I have a connection with India, as it is the home of my ancestors.
Some may say that wanting to protect the Ram Setu Bridge is extreme and fundamentalist. I disagree. This bridge is of great importance to the Hindus, now more so, after clear evidence of its existence.
Although being thousands of miles away from the region, I feel that this is an important part of Hindu heritage.
In modern society we are becoming ignorant in a number of areas and are always aiming to become wealthier and more affluent. I’m not saying that we should not have the determination to do well for ourselves, but that we are slowly forgetting simple human values.
Destroying the bridge could only provide economic prosperity and improved accessibility within the region.
But we have to ask ourselves is it really worth disrupting animal habitat in the region as well as destroying an important part of world history and heritage?
