On 2nd-July-2005, Congress Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and other leaders inaugurated the ceremony of the destruction of Ramasethu. 1. Why was the route of Metro passing ‘close’ Qutub Minar in New Delhi was abandoned and later reworked fearing prospective damages to this 815 years man made monument? 2. Why the project of Taj corridor (which would have made lot of dollars to our money minded govt) was put off after the hue and cry of environmentalists as the construction near Taj ‘may’ cause bad effect on this 359 years old man made monument. Please give attention here that these monuments were not going to be destroyed but were ‘feared’ to get damaged. 3. Will any government in China would destroy or even alter The great wall of China(2695 years old) for the sake of any amount of money? 4. Will any one allow pulling down 4507 years old Pyramids of Egypt in lieu of any uncountable amount of money?
