KB da, you are a voice of reason. I can find no logical way of denying what you say. Both Ram Setu and the ice formation at Amarnath may actually be natural phenomenon. Structures that we Indians as part of our typical sentimentalism see as creation and an affirmation of some Divine being. That's what we are, what makes us Indians. Self Contradicting, Sentimental, Superstitious, philosophical and everything else. The question that I ask is why deny us that? Over centuries we have seen structure upon structure of our faith being broken by those who made scant effort to understand the symbolism behind those. Infidels, heathens, devil worshipers that is what we have been called and as you correctly said we seethed in righteous rage while all these happened and didn't even lift a finger. The Indian thought process I feel still has a lot to give to the world, but for that it perhaps needs to find its feet again. Perhaps these symbols may be just the crutch need to lift us up again. :)

KB da, I understand very little of Naval tactics to agree or disagree with what you say about our preparedness/ease of defending our southern shores. However what I feel is this, too often have we let our emotions been played with and have brooked in silence the havoc that has been unleashed through centuries on symbols of our faith. I am not the religious type (which is my misfortune) nor learned enough. However I do believe that certain symbols resonate in the collective Indian heart and give us a sense of identity and unity. It could be the Indian Cricket team, our beloved tricolor, the Taj or the Ram Setu. I as an Indian shall always utmostest to protect them. Pragmatism of today, often end of looking like folly tommorow. Imperialism, deforestation, communism are all examples of that. I respect the fact that you differ, but I still mentain that symbols that exude positive feelings should be preserved. That's why Ram Setu is important.

Music and reading
Life is now
A few ethereal moments
Strung together
On which I float and vaporize
None can touch me or probe
I just live
Like an essence
Flavoring other's life
With my presence
None bound to me
By strings of intimacy
I am the kite
Whose string was cut
Now I fly wayward
Waiting for my descent
To be captured
By the wily kite-runner
