It’s really unfortunate to see the comments made by so called ‘Phoenix the Bum’ without understanding the objectives of the project. It’s a cultural exchange programme between the two countries and the word ‘Sethusamudram’ is used symbolically to empasize the conection between two regions. And the artwork of Sri Lankan map is created usig the traditional food called ‘Appam’ (not the muffing wrappers) which is used both in Sri Lanka and the Tamilnadu region of India as well.

In this Article the ‘currency note art work’ is not me. It is by Indian artist V.G. Venugopal
Can you please change it?

That’s why most Indians know ‘Siri Lanka’ as Ravana the Demon’s land! We don’t care for Ravana and he is not a God here. But Rama is, in India. This mythical bridge never seems to have existed but for a natural land bridge between the two countries. So, how can the Sethu Samudra destroy a non-existing bridge? There may be envronmental issues of course.

Dushyanthini, you are going to have a house party it seems and some Indian friends are invited, right? Your exibits looks equally weird, especially the Sri Lanka’s map made out of muffing wrappers. That is disgraceful, to say the least. If you call this garbage ART there are better artworks in my kitchen garbage, and you can collect those as well!
