<h3>
Among friends misunderstandings are common and me and Comrade George Fernandes were no exception. On the day then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee arrived at Pondicherry to lay the foundation for New Assembly Complex in the Port area, which is now used as Parking Lot, a call from Defence Minister. His PS Asoka Subramanian spoke and told me that George Saab wants to speak to me. George came online. He said I am thinking of putting you as Trustee of Tutucurin Port Trust, what do you say. I said if it is useful for people I am ready to accept. In the National Agenda of Governance which George Fernandes drafted as Convener of NDA, he had included Interlinking of Rivers and Sedhu Samudram Project suggested by me. That is why he offered me Tutucurin Port Trust Trustee post since that Port will be the nodal agency for Sedhu Samudram Shipping Canal.</h3>
<h3>
<br />I served to my best of my ability and even a free website was created to mention my contribution. But now in National Archives all the Minutes of Board Meetings during my trusteeship period is available for historians.<br />George Fernandes attended the Photo unveiling ceremony of Socialist Leader of Madurantakam, who then passed away. In that meeting I was in front row. I found in his speech George Fernandes was slightly criticising me. I used to have colourful visiting cards. After function in Pondicherry I sent an email to George Fernandes saying I am hurt by his comments. Within few hours he not only replied by email but sent me the following mail to clear the misunderstanding.</h3>

plough your way in a stream of sweat and foul smell. Ever increasing garbage
accumulation poses problems for municipal sanitary workers who toil tirelessly
to keep market surroundings clean. The Lorries that bring the daily

space with consumers who in a haste to park as they please in the entrances of
the market. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This is a scene of chaos with increase in population. In Pondicherry
region we have fish markets in Pondicherry, Muthialpet, Ariyankuppam,
Nellithoppu, Madukarai and Villiyanur and temporary markets have sprung up in
roadsides at many sub urban places. Nowadays people are looking for hygiene in
every aspect of life and consumer awareness is at its peak. Further the
perishable products must be sold in haste thereby fish vendors loose their
revenue. The setting up of cost price shops by private parties and cooperative
institutions too jumping into that bandwagon not to be left behind is a telling
tale of our times. Vegetable stalls that offer fresh vegetables in
air-conditioned surroundings have cropped up. Chickens and Mutton are sold in
shops making it easy for people to buy at various places. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">But in spite of all this the fish market, vegetable market, flower
market and small shops that sell from provisions to brooms are within a limited
space of the main market restricted by various constraints making it impossible
to expand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A student from nearby Veerampattinam fisher-men village of Pondicherry,
P.Saravanane who is the 4 th son of a traditional fisherman, doing his second
year in doctorate in fish pathology at the Sterling University of Scotland U.K
having completed his M.FSc. (Master of Fisheries Science) at Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute Cochin on his visit to his home felt that fish
markets here must be improved to make it places of hygiene in order to attract
better prices for fish apart from consumer convenience and comfort of buying in
a cleaner environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">To wash sands and filth in the fish catches that comes to market,
P.Saravanane suggests setting up of a one-ton capacity of filtering steel tank
at the entrance of the market. Immediately after washing fresh icing must be
done for the preservation. The fish market should be completely closed and centrally
air conditioned for maintaining low temperature, which can reduce the quick
spoilage of fish. Hygienic and decent dressing for the fish vendors encouraged.
Separate cabins with a washable fish-displaying table should be constructed for
selling the fish and be provided with a clear drainage channel, which
eventually leads to a common drainage canal. Display table must have fiberglass
doors so that fishes can be displayed on an ice layer in the glass cabinet.
Each cabin must be given separate pipe connections for easy and quick washing
of cabin before and after selling. A hygienic and eco-friendly bag for packing
the fish is introduced. There should be a high capacity and quality flake ice
machine inside the market for preserving the fish and also for the display
unit. Definite control measures should be taken for fly and other insects. It’s
also wise to have a cold storage room with two different temperatures like 4°c
and -20°c with clear racks and boxes for short time and long time storage of
fish respectively. The market should also be provided with two doors each one
for entry and exit. A separate fish cleaning room should be constructed with
same facility like fish selling area with a washable table with the provision
of tap water pipe connection for each fish dresser. Use of clean stainless
steel knife and other fish cutting instruments is encouraged. There should be
an exit in the fish dressing room so that the customers can directly exit the
market, says P.Saravanane who wants to see his hometown and its markets improve
to reach the western standards at least stage by stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Fish lovers are braving all ordeals in fish markets to buy their choice
and scared housewives wait for street vendors to bring fish to their doors. Let
us make their life not only less miserable but make it pleasant to both sellers
and buyers. Let Fish woman who carry head-loads of fish and are frowned upon
regain their self respect and dignity in pursuing their marketing with changing
needs of our times. Fish is wealth and not filth that comes to markets. Let
planners plan ultra modern fish markets, while private stalls come up every
where to cater the needs of growing population conscious of cleaner
environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Movement we are interested in the revoking of the treaty granting our Kachatheevu
islands to Srilanka. If the new EEZ comes into operation INDIA and SRILANKA
will have to freshly demarcate their zones. And by natural application of the
article 76 of the International Law of the Seas, India will have to regain
Kachatheevu. This will also put an end to indiscriminate killings of our Indian
fisheremen..............................<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">You
are the custodian of the culture of humanity, and a neutral judge to uphold the
common heritage of humanity. Though by depicting all worlds’s languages as
tree, scholars have said all languages have emanated from common source, the
quest to find that common source is yet to deliver result. Scientists have
found FOX P2, a common gene that triggered human speech, but each and every
language speaker has pride and reverence for his or her mother tongue.
Scientists have proven that race is a myth and all men have common gene. Yet
mankind lives in various countries speaking numerous mother tongues. UNESCO is
for preserving all mother tongues and protects endangered languages. Such an
institution should update history, is our request.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Alexander
Graham Bell is not first to invent telephone, but an Italian Antonio Mussie ,
the American Senate debated to update history when new truth emerged. Dravida
Peravai, a tiny political party of Tamils in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>, urges UNESCO to update the
history regarding the celebrations of world mother languages day. It is
needless to state that the police firing and death of 5 persons in the struggle
of students of then East Pakistan when Urdu was imposed as sole official
language of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:place></st1:country-region>
in 1950-52, is taken into consideration to fix February 21<sup>st</sup> as
World Mother Languages day. We also salute those martyrs, and the love of their
mother tongue culminated in the birth of a liberated new nation, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Bangladesh</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Tamils
consider their mother tongue as Primary Classical Language of the World, as
Devaneya Paavanar, had written in his treatise. When Hindi alone was imposed
sole official language of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place>
in 1965, the students and people of Tamilnadu fought a long drawn battle where
men committed self immolation to stall that move. Nowhere on Earth, for their
mother tongue, people had burnt themselves, and comparing to killing in police
firing, which too took lives in Tamilnadu too, the supreme sacrifice of those
martyrs must be honored by humanity. We are enclosing news paper clippings of
the Tamil Language Struggle of 1965, and producing Xerox copies of few pages
from the book Struggle for Freedom of Languages in India written by Former Vice
Chancellor of Alagappa University in Tamilnadu Dr.A.Ramasamy, to bring to the
notice of UNESCO that far greater sacrifices were made by Tamils, and if any
other linguistic group had done more sacrifice in the struggle to save their
mother tongue, Tamils will accept truth and withdraw their claim to be the
topmost in sacrifice for mother tongue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
view of the fresh facts brought to the notice of UNESCO, we Tamils, Indian
Tamils appeal to UNESCO to shift the date of World Mother Languages Day to
January 25 th, the date of Tamil struggle. I hope our Bengali brethren who till
day had that honor will take it sportive and be happy that they were holding
the championship shield from 1999 to 2010. All countries and representatives of
UNESCO must impartially accept the historical update provided by us after cross
checking on their own or seeking further references from us or Government of
Tamilnadu, a State under Indian Union.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">We
pray that due place of honor is given to Tamil martyrs who self immolated
themselves, the photographs of six such people in a cut out put by our party in
2008 in remembrance of their sacrifices is enclosed. Also the photograph of
painting of three Tamil martyrs Chinnasamy, Sivalingam and Aranganathan
prepared by lady painter Sathya and presented to me is enclosed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Let
me quote from TIME dated 19<sup>th</sup> February 1965 “In Tamil speaking <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Madras</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">State</st1:placetype></st1:place>
where five people have burnt themselves to death in protest; a mob captured two
policemen and burned them alive. In Malayalam speaking <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Kerala</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">State</st1:placetype></st1:place>
mobs attacked post offices and trains, and students signed pledges of
resistance to the imposition of Hindi using their own blood as ink….. the death
toll in the riots rose to 60.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Also
a chapter Fire Spreads in the book mentioned earlier and released by Kalaignar
M.Karunanithi DMK President, current Chief Minister of Tamilnadu few months
before he became 5<sup>th</sup> time Chief Minister of Tamilnadu is enclosed to
show that even in <st1:place w:st="on">Bengal</st1:place>, where Bengali is
spoken, and the protest against Hindi triggered opposition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Dravida
Peravai appeals to UNESCO, that while there is wide spread heart bleeding over
the failure of UN to save Eelam Tamils from genocide, at least by the symbolic
gesture of declaring the Tamil Struggle day of Indian Tamils, as the day of
World Mother Languages day, a healing process can begin, by correcting a
historical mistake of ignoring Tamil sacrifices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Times of
India dated 20<sup>th</sup> August 2010 in its central page Times of Ideas had
published an article The Intelligent Universe written by Minhaz Merchant. I was
deeply impressed by the article till I read the concluding paragraph which
revealed that his psyche is still frozen in past and he may talk about future
but remains a prisoner to race theory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Let me quote his
valuable writings on Science: “Our Universe is around 13.70 billion years old.
It was created at Time Zero-the point of singularity, at which there was
nothing, no matter, no space, no time.” Well let me add my word, in fact
borrowed from Periyar EVR, if there was no matter, no space and no time, it
should also include NO GOD, in that list. How come you people imagine that
before 13.70 billion years there was nothingness but a god existed, riding bulls,
peacocks, and rats and slept in snake bed floating in oceans of milk?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Within this
absolute space time vacuum [postulated by the Hawkin-Penrose singularity theorems
based on Einstein's general theory of relativity] an event occurred which no
leading scientist has yet been able to fully explain.” Having said this author
of this article laments in last paragraph that all of human intelligence and wisdom,
including Vedas do not have an answer. Herein comes his psyche speaking for
some texts that has not been written by scientists. In age of science
progressive minds should look for answers in science, and if necessary wait for
science to find out a rational and acceptable answer. There is no necessity to
search in trash of human history, the Vedas. Hymns praising plunderers like
Indira as saviours who broke dams to release arrested waters cannot be anyway
considered as scientific treasure house of knowledge. At the most it may throw
hints about nomads who hated settled civilization and agriculture, and were
drunkards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“The event
probably involved the mutual annihilation of a positron – electron twin pair
carrying identical [positive and negative] charges and mass. The result of the
vacuum fluctuation was the Big Bang, the widely accepted theory of how our
universe began.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Before the
Time-Zero, during the pre-universe Nothingness, it hypothesized that constant
and instant annihilation of positron-electron pairs occurred several trillion
times every second. These multiple collisions cancelled each others out,
leading to a perpetual state of zero mass, zero time and zero space, the perfect
vacuum. The mutual annihilation of electrons and positrons however occurred in
unimaginably small crevices of time-10/100 seconds or less.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“To the observer
nothing was occurring, the event started and ended before it could be observed
and therefore, as far as the observer was concerned, had not occurred at all.
From this nothingness, a freak once in a quadrillion positron-electron pair
escaped mutual annihilation 13.70 billion years ago, causing the Big Bang and
the creation of our universe as well as a mirror negative universe. As the
Universe expanded stars were formed within huge solar systems with orbiting
planets like Earth. Billions of such solar systems made up dense clusters of
galaxies with their esoteric black holes, which exert such a powerful
gravitational pull that even light bends when it passes near them”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Having written such
a beautiful article Mr.Minhaz Merchant concludes that God alone knows such
mysterious origins. He should have waited for human intelligence to unravel the
mystery of our origins. Till then let it remain unknown. As we use the word
vacuum let that be the explanation till appropriate answer is found by science.
Instead trying to invent God to explain is unwarranted irrational attempt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">He writes that
our nearest solar system is Alpha Centauri. Traveling at the speed of world’s
fastest experimental space craft Helios II [1, 57,000 mph] it would take over
12,000 years to reach Alpha Centauri. If spacecraft takes so much time to reach
us from nearest galaxy, our Gods who ride oxen, peacocks, rats and buffaloes
will take how much time to reach us to heed to our prayers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Professor of
Berkeley University Dr.R.P.Goldman did research on how fast monkeys could fly? and
told a monkey flew from Srilanka at the speed of 660 kilometers per hour,
plucked a mountain brought it to Srilanka to get the herbs that were needed to
inject life back to Laxman, and flew back to paste the mountain in its place of
origin in India, without using paste like fevicol. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial black" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If scholars like
R.P.Goldman exist on Earth, Gods will thrive on people’s ignorance. Let
scientists rely on new findings, discoveries than banking on mythologies to
protect falsehood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the Prime Ministership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, through Comrade George Fernandes, to PMO and through Planning Commission Member Dr.S.B.Gupta , I had submitted may schemes to alleviate the sufferings of poverty stricken tribals, such as growing a plant himalayan yew which has anti cancer properties and was smuggled out of India through Burma. Atalji planned HIMALAYAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY to give seeds to tribal villages and allow people to grow these trees, which later can be sold to market value and be patented and anti cancer drugs produced in India. George Fernandes mooted my name for the Chairmanship of this Authority. Suresh Prabhu from Shiva Sena was the other contender. Bureaucrats scuttled this scheme by saying instead of Himalayan Development Authority , Transnational Himalayan Authority should come. Congress regimes failed , we thought people oriented poverty eradication schemes will come up, sorry to say corporate democracy only has taken over India. </div>

The BJP and its policies based on a mythical hero with no relevance to people's issues is a mirage chase. A mirage which BJP cannot reach to quench its thirst for power. Hue and cry over non existent Ram's bridge had been catapulted into a matter of national debate. Dravida Kazhagam, the parent body of all major and minor Dravidian political parties including Dravida Peravai had done the logically correct thing to counter the propaganda of falsehoods unleashed by the forces of fascism.</div>

<b>Paula Richman wrote a book titled "Many Ramayanas"</b> Yes the question before us is to accept which Ramayana as true story?. Vishwa Hindu Parishad is not ready to accept truth or explore hidden truth or accept the multiplicity of Ramayana versions. That is fascism and nothing else. Paula Richman refers an incident in her book. "In 1993 the VHP destroyed an exhibition because it depicted the Jain Dasaratha Jathaga version of Rama and Seetha as siblings." Who could be the arbiter? Should anyone take the matter to International Court of Justice because it involves Ramayanas originating from different cultures and countries? Individuals cannot go to International Court of Justice. Some nation must take the matter to court, to prove its version of Ramayana as true history. Till the matter is decided, no question of resolving Ram's birth place and Ram's Bridge could be resolved or settled. <b>First and foremost to be decided is which of the Ramayanas is true history?</b></div>

<b>Laos Ramayana:</b> Buddha recited the story of Rama to his disciples, in Laos; they believe that the jataka tale to be tale of Buddha's previous birth. There are two popular versions of Ramayana namely Phra Lak Phra Lam and Gvay Dvorahbi. According to these Ramayanas, Ravana is the nephew of King Dasarath. Rama while roaming in desert in search of Sita eats a fruit and becomes a monkey. [The biblical Adam and Eve's story and its resemblance could also be taken note of] After becoming monkey Rama meets Nengsi, a woman turned into monkey and marries her. Hanuman is their son. After killing Ravana, Ram marries his widow.</div>

<b>Thai Ramayana:</b> The earliest version of Ramakien dates back to 13 th century and Thais believe their version to be the original story. In Ramakien many places in Thailand have been identified with Ramayana episodes. The city of Ayutthaya i.e. Ayodhya has been mentioned as capital of the kingdom. Ramakien vividly describes the marriage of Hanuman. According to Thais, Hanuman had many affairs and children.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Jain Ramayana:</b> According to historian D.N.Jha in Jain Ramayana it is Luxman who kills Ravana. Neither Ram, Luxman nor Hanuman is monogamous. Luxman has 16,000 wives while half that number Ram has, says D.N.Jha. "In Buddhist Ramayana Rama and Sita are siblings who later got married while in Jain Ramayana Rama has 8000 wives. Historian D.N.Jha links the monogamous Rama to the patriarchal society, a symptom of which is also Sita's agnipariksha."</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cambodian Ramayana:</b> Cambodian version "The Reamkher" states Ram as incarnation of Vishnu. Akaingameso which means God's doorkeeper was reborn as Ravana. Sita, in her earlier birth was the wife of Indra, who was insulted by Ravana. To avenge the wrong she was born as Ravana's daughter. Ravana was cautioned by his astrologer and brother Bibhek about his daughter's evil birth. Ravana put her in a chest and buried her. King Janaka later discovered her. The Reamkher follows Valmiki episodes on Ram's friendship with monkey chiefs and construction of the bridge. There is one important deviation. Sita gave birth to a son named Ramalaksha parented by Valmiki.One day she went to the river for a bath with her son when the sage was in deep meditation. After meditation Vamiki could not see his son, hence created another son by his yogic power and named him Jupalaksha.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
These are some of the versions. BJP and VHP must first of all find out whether Sita is the wife of Valmiki ? They must find out whether Rama had 8000 wives, Lakshman had 16000 wives or Dasarathan had 60000 wives. The Ravana and Sita being father and daughter and the Rama and Sita being brother and sister, are existing stories in various cultures. We did not write these Ramayanas, and all Ramayanas are written by pious people and not atheists like me.</div>

The Dravidian Movement took up cudgels against the Kamban's version of Ramayana and the journal Kudi Arasu edited by <i>Thanthai</i> E.V.Ramasamy Periyar published series of articles by Chandrasekara Paavalar. <i>Aringnar</i> Anna challenged Tamil scholars to come for open one to one debate on the purpose of <i>Kambaramayanam</i> and its imposition on Tamils to subjugate them under Aryan Illusion.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Navalar Somasundara Bharathiar and <i>Chollin Chelvar </i>R.P.Sethu Pillai debated with Anna and openly admitted they have lost the debate. This debate in Tamil Book "Let Fire Spread" wants to illuminate Tamil hearts by symbolically burning Kamba ramayanam. Pulavar Kuzhanthai wrote <i>Ravana Kavyam</i> can be considered as Dravidian version of Ramayanam.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The question before us which of these versions is based on true historical facts. These are not days where everyone will accept anything with blind faith. If you place new facts to reopen a settled issue in history, you should place facts and prove it. Blind faith of BJP and VHP will not stand the scrutiny of the Age of Science.</div>

<b>Chinese had some truth to add to world's history,</b> yes they wanted to tell the world that their sons only discovered America and not Columbus. Gavin Menzies wrote a book: 1421 : The Year China Discovered America. The book states about the 7 expeditions by Admiral Zheng He between 1405 and 1423 with a fleet of 317 ships and 28,000 men. Chinese Government organized exhibitions, and the postal authorities of Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand issued postage stamps commemorating Zhen He's discovery. At a cost of 50 million dollars a Museum is being set up. If BJP and VHP had truth in their arsenal let them use it first. Lungpower alone will not establish truth. When they ruled India, BJP combine tried its best to use all money at its command to prove many falsehoods; ultimately they failed in all such adventures.</div>

<b>How Fast Do Monkeys Fly?</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In October 2004, a lecture by Berkeley Professor R.P.Goldman titled "How fast do monkeys fly? How long do demons sleep" which took place in New Delhi is reported in the Times of India [Mumbai edition] dated Saturday October 30 2004. According to Dr.R.P.Goldman "ancient Sanskrit scholars who made intense study of Hindu mythological texts like Ramayana tried to rationalize several of the seemingly improbable tales like Ravana's ten heads, or how fast Hanuman the monkey god could have flown to get the sanjivini or elixir, for Laksman or even how long Kumbakarna, Ravana's brother, might have slept."</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In order to apply the rationalist paint to the absurd story of Ravana having 10 heads, since none of the findings about extinct species have found a single 10 headed human fossil, they said that Ravana actually had one head and the other 9 were reflection on the large 9 polished gems that he wore around his neck. The success of rationalist movement compels scholars to spin new tales to justify foolish tales.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Another important question that these scholars raised was how long could Hanuman have taken to fly to the Himalayas to the Mahodaya Mountain to fetch the life giving herb for Laksmanan from Lanka, where the battle was raging? Goldman says that some of the scholars calculated that roughly at a speed of 660 kilometers per hour Hanuman flew, plucked the mountain, and flew back to Lanka. Then "Hanuman was quite ecologically conscious" the Professor R.P.Goldman states in order to save ecology Hanuman flew again back to Himalayas and pasted the plucked mountain with an adhesive still not found by scientists.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the scholarly research which BJP and VHP want us to accept. Can anyone with brain assimilate this research as proven scientifically and established beyond an iota of doubt? No one will swallow this foolish finding. Dravida Peravai wants BJP and VHP to prove all these impossible feats first before staking claim to Rama's Bridge in Gulf of Mannar.</div>

So far historians have found evidences that first human on Earth dates back to 60,000 years. Journey of Man by Spencer Wells which was also telecasted in National Geographic Channel claims that first human beings were from Africa. The book also claims that all humans are one; there exists a common gene named Sangene in all human beings. While writing about this book in my article titled Black Race and Brahma's Face, I had written that these findings which prove human race is one is a severe indictment of a race that claims superiority among others and one which never accepts all humans as equals, thus people who claim to have born from Brahma's face who built castles of lies in the name of <b><i>varunasharadharma,</i></b> have been proven to be totally unscientific and idiots claiming superiority on earth at the cost of fellow human beings,</div>

Under this title the Aryan lobby writes "In the 18 th incarnation of Lord Krishna, the Lord appeared as King Rama.

<div style="text-align: left;">
Let us examine the falsehoods one by one. We from the Dravidian Movement are atheists but not Ravana; all know that Ravana as per epics is a devotee of Lord Siva. The doubt which arises to me is why should a reincarnation of God perform superhuman deeds to impress demigods? Does it mean that Demigods are more powerful than the Original God on reincarnation?</div>

UNESCO had constituted an <b>Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission</b> to undertake research of the Indian Ocean.

In 1981 Daniel Behrman had written a book Assault on the Unknown. There are many books on Indian Ocean. All these books give us evidences on the continental drift, the submerged lands of the Lemuria, which Tamils prefer to call as the Kumari Kandam. The challenge posed by BJP and VHP must be accepted and we must use the National Institute of Oceanography to indulge in the study of under water archaeology to bring to light the great past of the Tamils. Tamil literature says 49 countries were lost to the seas, including River Kumari and River Pahruli. If Ramayana, an epic says Rama constructed a bridge and if that has to be probed, we Tamils demand that what all Tamil literature says about First and Second Tamil Sangams and the land loss to Tamil homeland namely Kumarikandam also should be studied.</div>

In 2004 Dinamani Tamil Daily reported that in Bangalore a scientist Graham Cook displayed finds from the under water exploration he made near off the coast of Poompuhar, the Chozha Port and displayed video scenes of submerged Poompuhar and bdisplayed out 2000 artifacts from the Sea. Using carbon dating and other scientifically proven methodology in archaeology he said that the Poompuhar Civilization dates back to 7500 B.C. Tamils must be proud to have scientific evidence that pushes its civilization to an earlier period compared to Indus Valley Civilization. Instead of repeating like parrots that we have 2000 years of history, Tamil scholars must claim that we have a civilization which is 10,000 years old.</div>

<b>The probe BJP wants to undertake will only prove the Tamils past.</b> It is well known fact that due to rise and fall of sea level both India and Srilanka got linked up in land 65,000 years ago, Before 27000 years due to rise in sea level India and Srilanka got separated. Around 17,000 years ago when sea level dropped both land masses joined and later parted. The study made by Trichirapalli Bharathidasan University Earth Sciences department states that before 1.4 million years sea was close to Madurai.</div>

<b>Before 90,000 years Chennai, Puducherry and Vedaranyam were surrounded by seas. We all know that global warming will result in rise in sea level and Tamilnadu coast will undergo changes.

Right from the beginning Srilanka had been conspiring to stall Sethusamudram project, and we all know the proposal by Srilanks to construct a bridge linking Srilanka and India, for which it gave an eye catching name Hanuman Bridge, perhaps to hoodwink the BJP. For argument sake if Hanuman Bridge had been constructed instead of Sethusamudram project will it not affect the Rama's so called Mirage Bridge? Dravida Peravai opposed it by calling it a Berlin Wall across the Seas.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now again with no economic programme in its arsenal BJP wants to use an emotional appeal, hence resorts to Ram's bridge. But BJP conveniently forgets that Atal Bihari Vajpayee speaking in Indian Parliament in 1974 called Kachateevu as Valideep, where Rama fought Vali. Why BJP is silence on Valideep? Why they don't want to reclaim Valideep? Loss of Kacchateevu results in out fishermen getting killed. Reclaiming Kachateevu is not in BJP's agenda, but a Bridge is, what a mentality these fascist forces have ?</div>

centuries fisher folk had established unassailable bond of love with seas, but
in post tsunami phase every change in the sea causes nightmare. The sea recedes
and people become panicky. Waves enter villages lashing out the beaches. People
run hither thither for safety. Kanyakumari to Cuddalore almost for a week
people of the coast spent sleepless nights and anxious days. This scenario had
wakened up the social thinkers and scientists to look for solutions to coastal
erosion. Changes due to continental drift are inevitable. Here too if we look
at the projections made by scientists, the future world map of 100 million
years and 250 million years show changes in India’s position but India always
remain attached to the Asian continent. This should be viewed with consolation,
because in past <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> was an

planet is a tri-axial ellipsoid, moving around the Sun in an elliptical orbit
at 30 kilometers per second and rotating around its axis at 1,666 kilometers
per hour which is faster than speed of sound. Such high speed rotation has
resulted in polar areas being compressed towards the center and equatorial
areas being bulged out” says Professor Vishal Sharma. Apart from these changes
the coast of <st1:place w:st="on">Tamil Nadu</st1:place> had undergone
variations in the past but the present causes more concern. As per a study by
the School of Earth Sciences of Bharathidasan University “Before 1.5 million
years ago Sea extended up to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Madurai</st1:place></st1:city>.
Around 90,000 years before Chennai, <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pondicherry</st1:place></st1:city>
and Vedranyam were encircled by seas. Since sea level subsided 65,000 years ago
<st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ceylon</st1:place></st1:country-region> got
connected. When sea level rose by 27,000 years ago both parted and when it fell
by 17,000 years before joined again to part again". And amidst panic
reaction to such studies, if we look at the map of coastal changes in Tamil
Nadu, one could know that the coast instead of moving inwards had extended
seawards. This is enough to give us fresh hope for survival braving the fury of
Nature. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is aware on how beaches are formed? People are worried about erosion. But it is
a fact that without erosion beaches could not be formed. "Without the
process of erosion, we would not have beaches, dumes, barrier beaches and the
highly productive bays and estuaries that owe their existence to the presence
of barrier beaches" opines Jim O'Connell, the Coastal Processes Specialist
of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Well erosion might have helped beach
formation, but it is sending alarm bells from Kanyakumari to Chennai and
beyond. Let us look for some scholarly opinion in this regard. After a close
study at the Pitchavaram forests near Chidambaram, M.S.Swaminathan Research
Foundation reveals that "in between 1930 and 1970, the seashore had eroded
by 550 meters. Between 1970 and 1992 the rate of erosion was about 12
meters." The writing on the wall is clear. In past Sirkazhi was a coastal
town, which now is interior by kms. The </span><st1:place style="font-family: Georgia, serif;" w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Harbour</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Choza Empire</st1:placename></st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">,

Artic Climate Impact assessment by 250 scientists says that “global warming is

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> Global warming also causes rise in sea level
inundating coastal areas. We must know that most of the ice sheet rests on land
that's below sea level. At a point called the "grounding line" it
starts floating, thus displacing its own weight in water. And as it turns out,
the line may not move much because the flow of the ice streams seems to be
restrained by friction against rocks at the bottom and sides rather than the
ice shelf. So if the ice shelf melts, the flow of the streams should not change
appreciably. And since the volume added to the ocean depends on how much ice
moves from land to water -- as determined by the grounding line -- the upshot
seems to be relative stability. "The ice streams do not appear to be
susceptible to the kind of unstable retreat once envisaged," says Bentley.
"Their flow is largely insensitive to the presence of the ice shelf so the
grounding line would remain the same."
Instead of possibly collapsing in 100 years, as was considered possible
10 years ago, Bentley says the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is more likely to
collapse -- if at all -- in perhaps 5,000 years at the soonest. By this
scientific prediction it becomes evident that sea level rise by global warming
too will not cause more harm in near future, if we are well prepared for it
with preventive measures. If governments have plans for beach nourishment with
vegetation, which is the cheapest preventive measure, it will go a long way in
arresting coastal erosion. Our survival instincts will save us in planet Earth,
but let us strive to survive with forethought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Indian Marines, the project, envisaged to link the Gulf of Mannar and the
Palk Bay, has been reviewed umpteen times over the years but a decision could
not be made. At a time when the people of southern districts began to think
that Sethusamudram would remain a pipe dream like linking of the Ganga and
Cauvery, came the announcement from the Prime Minister A.B.Vajpayee in Chennai
that his government would implement the project. The Prime Minister followed
that announcement by entrusting the project to the Defense Minister, who did
lot of spadework in the last four months before making an aerial survey of the
project on Wednesday. Light could be seen at the end of the tunnel. Since the
conception of the Sethu Samudram, two other canals-<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>the Suez Canal (1869) and the Panama Canal (1915) have been built

many reasons could be attributed to the delay in the project taking shape, lack
of political will has been the major factor. Like marking the twelfth man in a
cricket team, Sethu Samudram found a place in the election manifestoes of all
political parties during elections. Hopes about the implementation of the
project soared when the Union Government appointed the Sethu Samudram Project
Committee in 1955, headed by Dr.A.Ramasamy Mudaliar, which was charged with the
duty of examining the desirability of the project. After evaluating the costs
and benefits, this committee found the project feasible and viable. Several
reviews of the proposals followed this till Mr.Vajpayee announced his

are the strategic advantages that would accrue from this project. Though the
country has a peninsular coast running to 3554 nautical miles, it does not have

side of the country to the other have to circumnavigate Sri Lanka due to the
presence of Adam’s bridge, a sand stone reef near Ramasewaram coast. A memorandum
submitted to the Central Committee on Sethu Samudram Ship Canal project by the
State Government on August 1981 pointed out that the canal will afford secret
and sheltered passage for our Naval ships and Coast Guard vessels. Otherwise,
they will have to suffer exposure to the foreign countries in the Indian Ocean
and also suffer more wear and tear voyaging around Srilanka.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

distance between Cape Comerin and Chennai would be reduced to 402 nautical
miles from the present 755 after the completion of the project. The distance
between Cape Comerin and Vizag will be 719 nautical miles against the present
1014, between Cape Comerin and Calcutta 1098(1357), Tuticorin and Chennai
335(769). Tuticorin and Vizag 652(1028), Tuticorin and Calcutta 1031(1371).
Apart from effecting savings in fuel the project is expected to provide a
tremendous boost to the economic and industrial development of coastal Tamil
Nadu. The project will be of particular significance to the Tutucorin harbour,
which has the potential to transform itself into a nodal port such as Singapore
and Colombo. The State Government has announced its proposal to develop 13
minor ports, including Ennore, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thondi, Valinokam,
Colachel and Kanyakumari. And the Sethu samudram canal will improve coastal
shipping. There is also a possibility of introducing passenger and freight
services along the coast. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The operation and maintenance of the canal after its construction would be
quite expensive and therefore, it is necessary to study the traffic and income

India does not have, within her own territorial waters, a continuous navigable
route around the peninsula due to the presence of a shallow (3.5m) coral reef
called “Adams Bridge" at Pamban near Rameshwaram between the south eastern
coast of India and Talaimannar of Srilanka. Consequently the ships calling at
Ports on the East Coast of India have to go around Sri Lanka entailing an
additional distance of more than 400 nautical miles and 36 hours of ship time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Sethu Samudram Ship Canal Project, now under the consideration of the
Ministry of Surface Transport, Government of India envisages construction of a
ship canal of varying lengths to suit different drafts (30', 31' and 35')

harbour in the Gulf of Mannar extend north east in straight line up to
Mansfield pitch south of Pamban island, then cut through the island east of the
Kodandaramasamy temple and thereafter turning north east, proceed parallel to
the International Medial line as the Bay of Bengal Channel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ecological resources in the project area, and the primary data generated for
one season during the course of the study. A comprehensive environmental impact

Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar covering an area of 10,500 kms in which the
proposed ship canal is to be constructed are biologically rich and rated among
the highly productive seas of the world. Its diversity is considered globally
significant. In the Gulf of Mannar between the coastline and the proposed alignment
there are 21 islands which have been declared as National Marine Parks by the
Tamil Nadu Forest Department and the MEF, Government of India. Van tivu is the

The canal may facilitate the movement of fishes and other biota from the Bay of
Bengal to the Indian Ocean and vice versa. By this way, the entry of oceanic
and alien species into the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar as also dispersal of
endemic species outside the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar could occur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The canal will establish a continuous navigable sea route around the peninsular
coast within Indian territorial waters reduce shipping distance by about 400
nautical miles and voyage time of 36 hours, as also the attendant operating
costs. The canal will become a valuable asset from national defense and

back in 1860 when the Suez Canal was on the drawing board the British Maritime
pioneers had discovered that a shipping canal off Rameshwaram coast will save
approximately 36 hours of sailing time between Madras and Tuticorin and reduce
the distance by 434 nautical miles i.e. about 803 kms. The latest in the series
of studies is by the Tamil Nadu Government owned Pallavan Consultancy Services,
which says in its Report on March 1996 that "the project can be completed
at an estimated capital cost (1996 price) of Rs 685 crore, Rs 760 crore, and Rs
1200 crore for a canal of 30 feet, 31 feet, and 35 feet draft respectively. The
payback period is 17 years, and thereafter the benefit from the canal project
would be Rs 47 crore in the first year and Rs 100 to Rs 120 crore in the
subsequent years. According to the 1996 ratings earnings of foreign exchange is
estimated at Rs 35 crore besides a reduction in fuel import by Rs 200 crore.
The approved Sethu Canal alignment envisages the creation of a 180 km long and
200 meters wide canal to connect the Gulf of Mannar with the Palk Straits off
Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu. But major dredging needs only to be done only for
about 15 kms on Mannar side and 12 kms on the Palk Bay side since a natural
shipping canal already exists there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
