The author, a proponent of rational thinking, emphasizes the credit due to the nameless workers who built India’s monumental structures, including the Taj Mahal and ‘Adam’s Bridge’ or Setu Bandhanam. He argues that the structure popularly known as Ram Setu is not merely a symbol of royal orders, but represents the heritage of its builders, possibly of Dravidian origin. The author advocates for the preservation of Adam’s Bridge as a World Heritage Site, similar to the Taj Mahal and the Pyramids. He affirms that the Indian government shouldn’t destroy this structure to build a shipping channel, as once attempted, later suspended by India’s Supreme Court.

Taj Mahal or Setu Bandhanam – Who lifted the stones?
The author, identifying as a rational thinker, questions who truly deserves credit for historical structures like the Taj Mahal or the Setu Bandhanam (Adam’s Bridge). They believe such recognition should go to the nameless workers who constructed these impressive works, rather than the kings and emperors who ordered their creation. Expressing a concern about personal and cultural identity, they imply that the credit for structures like Adam’s Bridge could potentially belong to the Dravidian people of Southern India, rather than simply to legendary figures like Prince Rama, as the epic poem Valmiki Ramayana would suggest. Also mentioned, is the importance of preserving such historical structures for their heritage significance.
