[കേ.ശാ.സാ.പ] BJP's opposition to Sethusamudram formulated by a fraud

You might have seen BJP protests agaist the Sethusamudram project.... they
alledged that Lord Ram's bridge was being proken for this project or
something like that. Here is some news:

**The "space scientist" who, for two years, helped the Rashtriya Swayamsewak
Sangh (RSS) formulate its opposition to the Sethusamudram project has turned
out to be just like the Sangh's argument -- a fraud.

(

*The project*

* Dredging a 167-km channel across the Palk Strait, between India and Sri
Lanka, so that ships, travelling between east and west, get direct passage
through Indian waters rather than circumnavigating Lanka. Cuts sailing time
by 30 hrs.

*The fake scientist*

* The RSS and VHP want the ship channel project to be rerouted to protect
the coral structures they claim is the sethu built by Lord Ram to get to Sri
Lanka and rescue Sita. They want it to be recognised as a World Heritage
site.

*The science*

* Geological Survey of India study found that the Sethu isn't manmade but a
result of sedimentation of clay, sandstone and limestone. NASA calls it a
tomobolo, a bar of sand connecting one island with another that usually
indicates a constant sediment source.
