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"The Indian government has withdrawn a controversial report submitted in court earlier this week which questioned the existence of the Hindu god Ram."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

  1. if the bridge is destroyed then Ram and his monkeys won't be able to get to work in the mornings...
