From Meera, Sona and Mohit, NW England

Namaste

We do not think the bridge should be destroyed because NASA has taken pictures of the Adam's Bridge between India and Sri Lanka. They have corroborated what we Indians have been telling since time immemorial that the Adam's bridge is actually the Ram Setu, built by Lord Rama's faithful 'vaanar' soldiers. They say that the structure is man-made and dates back to about 1,700,000 years. This is a historical structure which is like a symbol of our religion.

It is ironical that a government which changes the metro rail route to protect the Qutub Minar, built with the material of destroyed temples, stops a corridor to protect the Taj Mahal's surroundings and spends crores of rupees to showcase ancient potteries and jewellery in heavily guarded museums, is destroying a unique symbol of national identity and an icon well preserved in our minds since ages. Even a child knows that a bridge was built by the friends of Lord Rama using floating stones and Rama's army marched over it to Lanka to rescue Sita and destroy the evil regime of Ravana.

The Ram Setu should not be destroyed as it provides evidence for our religion and is a historical landmark which which has a lot of importance, it is not just a normal bridge.
