Sri lanka was suspected to be the location of Garden of Eden, hence the "Adam's Bridge". Now of course, this is NOT just a "myth", So to name it after a person who actually existed is more applicable than a mythical character Ram.
Adam's bridge is its official name, as per the Survey of India map. It was named as Adam's Bridge in 1804 by James Rennell, the first surveyor general of the East India Company.whats the official name for it? is it 'ram sethu'? is there even an official word for it? if not he can very well call it what he wants. i have heard lots of people on the news over the last few days call it adam's bridge
some people say madras, some say chennai. wgaf
their next campaign will be to change the name of the country to 'Hindustan' :lol:Actually, the name "Ramar Sethu" or "Ram Sethu" is being used in any widespread basis only recently. The first time I saw it being used was after the current controversy began. I always grew up seeing it named as "Adam's Bridge" on maps. If you want the name changed in these maps, launch a campaign to officially rename it. But why is there so much heartburn if it is called by the name it is officially referred to in virtually all maps in existence, including those of the Survey of India?
their next campaign will be to change the name of the country to 'Hindustan' :lol:
Mate, i was being sarcastic, but guess i failed to make it obvious. hno:Adam actually existed? and Ram didn't? did Jesus tell you that?
if Ram can be a myth, then Adam can be a myth too....funny how Hindu characters are myths but others are solid truth!!!
Fixed.yes, Congress et al have a long history of obstructing and slowing Indian growth. if not for Nehru, India would be an economic superpower by now.
I don't know about the Adam's bridge but I have never heard any Indian calling the southern city "Madras" (I mean after the name change).some people say madras, some say chennai. wgaf

I am pretty sure I know "too many" Indians since I lived in India most of my life and traveled extensively but yeh, I don't know your circle By the way, I have lived in Chennai too.really? i guess you dont know too many indians
Now a sizable section of Indian society will be kept drowsy till next election.According to Marx, religion is an expression of material realities and economic injustice. Thus, problems in religion are ultimately problems in society. Religion is not the disease, but merely a symptom. It is used by Oppressors to make people feel better about the distress they experience due to being poor and exploited. This is the origin of his comment that "Religion is the Opium of the Masses"
