Reclaiming Indian heritage - Ram Setu

Ram Setu.. If you hear this name what things come into your mind??
Nal, Neel? Who built it? Ram in his quest to get his wife back built it to crossover to Lanka.. This story has been there since ages.. Thousand years ago.. Atleast the written manuscript is found at least 2000 years ago.

Now search Ram Setu in Google.. What will you see?? You will see an Wikipedia page named "Adam's Bridge". Surprised?? You know who is Adam? Yes the same whom God has sent as first man on this Planet. Why it is Adam's bridge. All Abrahamic religions like Christianity.. Islam.. Judaism will know it as Adam's Bridge as they consider him as first prophet. Will give a brief intro in one paragraph about these religions before coming to the topic.

The thing is Islam.. Christianity and Judaism(Jews) all believe in same god and also almost same prophets. For all of them Prophet Adam was the first prophet and all believe in the same Adam and Eve tale. You will find many relatable names in Christianity and Islam like Joseph-Yusuf, Moses-Musa, Abraham-Ibrahim, Solomon-Salman. Then why do followers of these religions fight with each other for so long. Acc to Christianity after Prophet Jesus no other prophet has come on earth but acc to Islam after Jesus, Prophet Muhammad came as messenger of God. Not only this, Islam says he is the last prophet and nobody else will come here after. So his words are final. Whole reason for conflict, all those stories of knights coming from Europe fighting for Jerusalem, then an arab king takes it back later, the whole conflict between Christians and Islam is this. In fact those who have slightest knowledge of middle east must be aware of Israel and Arab conflict. Do you know how this started. Jews who are followers of Prophet Moses(Who came just before Jesus) were not exactly stayed in the present day israel. They actually were spread throughout the Arab like Saudi, Yemen, Siriya, Lebanon, Jordan. Even Europe. So when Muhammad conquered the Arab land..jews were also there in his kingdom. Jews normally pray to Lord by facing towards Jerusalem, the birthplace of Moses. Muhammad actually told to pray facing towards Mecca instead of Jerusalem. This is the spark that created trust issues and later exploded into a religious war which is still continuing after 1500 years. Astonishing isn't it? Will elaborate this later sometime. Very interesting as well as heartbreaking stories.

So let's come to the topic.. The Adam Bridge. According to the Islamic texts (I don't know about other religious texts) Adam when sent by God first landed in Srilanka. Then he wanted to go to India. But there was an ocean in between. So he climbed upto a tall mountain near the shore in Lanka and jumped onto India. Such was the force that the Mountain fell forward into the sea and we see the present Adam's bridge. Some also say he alone built the bridge and some also say there was a bridge already and he crossed through this. In fact the big big footmarks that you see on the rocks of Lanka which you all believed to be of Hanuman is actually of Adam's.

The point here is how cunningly the heritage of ours is snatched right under our nose and we keep mum. You go to a secular guy he will say.. Haan bhai for them their belief.. For us our belief.. All religions are same.. But can you allow this Ramsetu to be hijacked by anyone else? If not you aren't a certified secular. If yes then you are a certified fool

What should be done? Ram Setu is Ram Setu.. No other entity has any right on it. This is history and this is ours heritage. It has to be told loud and clear. It has to be conveyed boldly and bravely by all of us. Without any intention of doing a crime to demean any achievement of Prophet Adam, we can't let Ramsetu be named after him. Sorry.

P. S. Itne choti choti chizon pe 1500 saal ladhne wale... Bharat me aakar 1000 saal se kese samahit hokar jee rahe hain?? Jabki so called Hinduism and Islam me toh itna farak he ki Heaven and Hell ki duri bhi kam padjaye. Answer - Doston ye Bharatvarsh he. Yeah punya bhumi he. Bhagwan ka sabse priya bhumi. Ye toh sagar he.. Yahan jo bhi ata he isi sagar me sammilit ho jata he.

Ram Setu ke raksha ke naam par ek Jai Shri Ram
