Save Ram Setu

In Satyug, engineers in Bhagwan Ram's Sena Nal & Neel created a bridge between India & Lanka. Earlier, the Samudra was very trubulent, so Ram Chandra Ji had to pacify it by setting up Shivling at Rameshwaram.

While setting up the Patthars for the bridge, brothers Nal & Neel found that stones jus won't float. It was then Hanuman Ji came with the idea of righting Ram Nam on those stones. The trick worked, and Ram Setu was able to finish.

But after some 3500 years, this bridge in trouble. They want to destroy it to facilitate Sethusamudram project. Currently, it is not in someone's priority list as a Tajmahal or Redfort is. Please read these two posts by Praney on the topic and you will have an idea.
