For a Hindu, both Ramayan and Mahabharat are imbedded in the scriptures. It is, therefore, a matter of faith - full stop. For thousands of years, Hindus have been inspired by Ramayan and Mahabharat. One could say, it is in our blood. Even though times have changed, Hindus still follow as far as possible, Shree Ram's example as an ideal son, brother, ruler etc.
Ram Setu cannot be detached from our belief and faith and therefore it MUST be protected at all cost. Shree Hanuman moved a mountain to save Laksman. It is time for all concerned Hindus to wake up the country's sleeping fellowman and women to rescue Ram Setu.
Yes, in parallel every effort should be made to bring to the publics attention of the facts which the Government is not telling the people about. The fact that if the project goes ahead it will prove to be an expensive one for as long as it is kept open, it will not work for modern ships, including tankers, which require deeper water. There is the question of security of Bharat and threat to its Thorium resources.
But I come back to what I said at the beginning. Ram Setu is bigger than Sethusamudram Shipping Canal and Hindus all over the world need to rally now and if necessary bring the Congress Government down if that's what it takes to protect out Heritage.
At the same time those in influential position should make it their mission to have Ram Setu declared as a world Heritage.
