To give you a little background, a proposed canal between India and Sri Lanka has been objected to (namely a political move by the communal national party BJP), because it would destroy a bridge built by a band of monkeys, to save Lord Ram. To this ridiculousness, which is what has come to typify a superpower like India, the brave Mr Karunakaran had asked if Lord Ram was a civil engineer and when he was involved in the construction of that bridge? Instead of acknowledging the sanity of this man, we in India choose to label him an idiot, demonstrations are being held to protest his views and his resignation is demanded, yes you guessed it by the BJP. The politics of religion is out of control in India, and we are moving ten centuries backward instead of forward.
