Many of India’s backward classes – but also educated politicians of the Bharatiya Janata party – are in uproar over a government plan to cut a canal through the shallows separating Sri Lanka from India (to facilitate shipping and save millions). The Archaeological Survey of India, backed by the Indian government, holds that the belief is based solely on the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana. Scientists and archaeologists say the Ram Setu (Lord Ram’s bridge) – or Adam’s Bridge as it is sometimes called – is a natural formation of sand and stones. So many and such disruptive protests have caused the government has had to back down so far. Read about this unusual case on the BBC website here It is a case of earth sciences against religious mythology and legend.
How can people really believe that Hanuman’s monkey hordes actually built a bridge across to Sri Lanka, or that Hanuman, the monkey God, jumped the entire narrows or carried a mountain on his back? One might well ask, and at the same time wonder how it is possible that so many people believe equally fanatically that the Christian Bible is literally true! But these religious obscurantist beliefs are part of the fundament of both Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism, indoctrinated from the cradle onwards. One such indoctrinator is none other than Sathya Sai Baba, the self-declared God Almighty (Rama himself come again)! The “higher education” offered by his ‘deemed’ university is everywhere permeated with indoctrination in Indian myths as real events! See here:-
