Rama Setu

The authors study of Rama Setu covers all the aspects of historical economics environmental and national security of the Sethusamudram Ship channel Project. He opposes the rupture of Rama Setu to dredge out a seabed furrow in the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar. Her terms the Project (SSCP) as a financial white elephant. Despite the lack of economic viability the environmental dangers and the national security risks of the project he argues that in choosing to design the SSCP based on destructive channel route the Government has betrayed our ancient civilization and Sanatan Dharma. The legendary bridge of coral reefs and rocks was built according to the Ramayana on the direction of Lord Rama. That such a causeway of coral rocks and reefs exists has been established by modern satellite photographs. That it was a constructed causeway and no a natural formation was established by the investigations conducted by the Geological Survey of India which report has been so far hidden from the public by the Government.
