Suggestio falsi, suppressio veri :  Ambika Soni New Delhi, Mar 06, 2007: Government on Tuesday said there are no archaeological studies that reveal the existence of a Ram Setu bridge between India and Sri Lanka. However, a NASA satellite picture has shown the existence of a stretch of land bridge in the Palk Strait between the countries, Minister of Tourism and Culture Ambika Soni said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha today.  She informed the house that as there are no archaeological studies to confirm the fact, the government was not planning to take any preservation initiative in this direction.   ttp://zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid =358346&sid=NAT

Dhanushkodi Thalaimannar ~3.5 m Current Sea Level ~ 12 m ~300 m hole Sea levels change; and were 130 m lower about 18,000 years ago, that is, the Setu would have been used to link Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar ~ 30 kms Rama Sethu – shoal remains

From ancient times, the Gulf of Mannar, Palk Bay have been treated as Historic Waters (Internal Waters of Bharatam-Srilanka).  An arbitrary international boundary has been drawn and called the Sethusamudram Canal without any evaluation and without studying the impact of tsunami of Dec. 26, 2004.  US Navy Operational Directive of 23 June 2005 refused recognition of the Historic Waters claim. USA asserted its authority by sending its naval ships.   ,[object Object]

Importance of Thorium for Bharat ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Thorium/titanium placer deposits due to churning action of ocean currents
Next tsunami through channel route will destroy Kerala and Tamilnadu coastline: tsunami energy will funnel through as Ram Setu barrier is dented. This serious consequence should be evaluated by a multi-disciplinary team as recommended by Rameswaram Judge. Be prepared for a probable next tsunami. Geoscientific investigations on the active convergence zone between the east Eurasian and Indo-Australian Plates along Indonesia (GINCO I) FSSONNE cruise SO-137 Fault-lines and earthquake zones  http://www.bgr.de/b322/grafik/ginco_fig1_k.png
Tsunami effect:  2,60,000 lives lost Destruction of Aceh island, damage in beaches north of Chennai and Nagapattinam Sea-bed has risen by about 200 m. 2/3 of the aquatic life and corals devastated in the Biosphere Reserve/Marine National Parks
