Sunday November 25 2007 08:01 IST EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE BANGALORE: A recent scientific research using archeo-astronomy tools has sought to prove that Ramar Sethu is not natural but a man-made sea ridge. It’s a testimony to the civil engineering marvel of an ancient civilisation, that stands even today as a man-made accretion over a natural formation in the sea. DK Hari, conceptualiser of Bharath Gyan, a NGO which is in to collating specific, scientific knowledge of India has, at a presentation on ‘Historical Rama’ here on Saturday, said the records compiled together talk about Ramar Sethu’s usage until 1480.

The Times of India Non-violence does not mean passive acceptance of terrorism. Rather than reacting with violence to acts of terrorism, precautionary measures have to be taken to nip violence in the bud. Every small crime and instance of violence has the potential to explode into bigger acts of terrorism. Whenever there is an act of terrorism, one points fingers at neighbouring countries, thereby absolving oneself of all responsibility.

Ideologies and crime are not confined by borders, so we cannot say that only a particular nation is responsible. When these are linked to religion or belief system it is even more dangerous. Terrorists need not be from outside;
