If one were to read the history and back ground of the Memorial, this trip reeks of indoctrination of young minds to the hindutva culture. The memorial was set up by the sangh parivar. Pl go through the below weblink. I do not see any reason for a government to sponsor such trips or even pilgrimages whether to Potta or Shirdi or Vailankanni or Kanyakumari.**** ** ** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivekananda_Rock_Memorial**** ** ** Regards,**** ** ** Marshall****
