The Journey from Ayodhya to Ram Setu
̳Setu' (bridge) is for ̳Hetu' (purpose) and that is to connect and to overcome hurdles. They are made over rivers, sea, roads and railway tracks so that people can cross without fear. Bridges, of all kinds, have traditionally represented our desire to know and connect with what's on the other side. They symbolize our hopes to traverse vast and sometimes impossible distances across time and space. Metaphorically, our journey here is like walking on a bridge (setu). Bridges are symbols of our desire to cross to the other side - whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.

Adam’s Bridge offers the first comprehensive transdisciplinary study of the famous eponymous tombolo (also known as Ram Setu) combining its sacral, historical, geological, political, performative, and heritage aspects into one framework, viewed under the critical lenses of island studies and cultural theory. The book elucidates the entanglement of Adam’s Bridge’s discursive history with India’s colonial history, contemporary geology, domestic politics, and the nation’s emerging position in a complex geopolitical order in and around the Indian Ocean region, vis-à-vis increasing Sino-American involvement in Indo-Sri Lankan relations. Without foregrounding any absolute scientific claims on the location of the sandbars that inspired sage Valmiki’s Ram Setu and the Ramayan legacy or hindering narratives of religious faiths and folklore revolving around the structure, this intellectual historiography traces the parallel evolution of traditions of compassionate questioning and devotion for Indic sacred beliefs among commentators across the millennia from both Indian and non-Indian spectra, seen in juxtaposition with the biotic and abiotic diversity of the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay. Looking beyond secular-versus-religious debates, this book will be of interest to scholars of ocean and island studies, coastal economies, archipelagic geographies, environmental history, heritage studies, colonial studies, and cultural theory. Adam’s Bridge unifies a consortium of themes, ranging across ecological and livelihood sustainability, environmentalism, soteriology, economic and geostrategic history, and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, in conceptualizing a compellingly nuanced chronicle for India’s enchanted ‘bridge.’
Story of a Soldier
For almost 70 years now, India has been withstanding terrorism and imposed wars. Thousands of soldiers from the Indian Army have sacrificed their life to safeguard their nation. After independence and until the Kargil war of 1999, 25,942 soldiers from the Indian Army sacrificed their life for the nation, to honor them; a national war memorial has been constructed in New Delhi. Even after all these, India has been successful in establishing peace at an international level.
