... and the Giant's Causeway wasn't built by giants either

Continuing my occasional in-depth look at the religions of the Far East (which is another way of saying I was coincidentally rude about Nepal Airlines last week):

"The Indian government has withdrawn a controversial report submitted in court earlier this week which questioned the existence of the Hindu god Ram." [original story]

Apparently a canal project between India and Sri Lanka - which I thought were already separated by sea, but there you go - requires the demolition of what Hindu hardliners say is a bridge built by Lord Ram and his army of monkeys, and sceptical scientists say is a natural formation of sand and stones.

Honestly, put this in a novel and people would say you were making it up.
