The debate about the authenticity of Ram Setu has been going on for ages. The current BJP government and its voice for Setu Dr.Subramanian Swamy has always maintained that Ram Setu did exist from the times of Epic Ramayana. But few Liberal , Leftist elites along with Congress party has maintained that nothing like this ever existed and its all mythical and man made story .
In fact Congress in TOI it was reported that Congress government had even told the Supreme Court when it was in power during UPA 1 & UPA 2 that Ram Setu is false and no historical proof has existed to claim otherwise.
The Congress said Valmiki “Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas admittedly form an important part of ancient Indian literature, but these cannot be said to be historical records to incontrovertibly prove the existence of the characters and occurrences of events depicted therein,” the government said in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, instantly setting the stage for a political showdown with the Sangh Parivar”
But today Proof has emerged in that Ram Setu did exist watch the video Below which confirms it
What is Ram Setu exactly ?
In the Ramayana, Rama Setu also known as Nala Setu, was a bridge built by the Vanara army to rescue Sita – the wife of Rama, prince of Ayodhya and avatar of the god Vishnu, who was kidnapped by Ravana, the rakshasa king of Lanka. Rama worships the god of the ocean, Varuna and requests him to make way. When Varuna does not appear before Rama, Rama starts shooting various weapons at the sea, which starts drying up. A terrified Varuna pleads to Rama. Though he refuses to give way, he gives Rama a solution. He tells Rama that Nala, the son of Vishwakarma – the architect of the gods, is amongst his vanara army; Nala has the necessary expertise of an architect, owing to a boon from his divine father. Varuna suggests that Rama construct a bridge across the ocean to Lanka, under the supervision of Nala. In some versions, Nila also assists in this task. The vanaras fell mighty trees, and collect logs of wood and giant boulders and cast them in the sea. The vanara army completes the 80 miles (130 km) (hundred yojana) bridge in just five days. Rama and his army pass over it and reach Lanka, where they prepare to fight Ravana. The bridge is also known as Nala Setu, the bridge of Nala
Commentaries on the Ramayana elaborate the event. While some commentaries say that other monkeys merely collect the building material, Nala is the one who constructs the bridge; others says that the monkeys build the bridge under his directions. The Kamba Ramayana also solely credits Nala as the architect and builder of the bridge, the Ramacharitamanasa credits Nala and his brother Nila for the creation of the bridge.
