Central to the controversy is the question of whether Adam’s Bridge is man-made or a natural formation.

Don't they mean monkey-made?

... It was replaced by the Dredging Corporation of India’s biggest dredging vessel, but its spud broke. Another ship was then sent to retrieve the spud, but its crane snapped and crashed into the sea.

At least one Hindu leader has suggested that the bridge is being protected by Lord Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god.

Hmm, apparently Hindu monkey gods have it in for potatoes.

Hmm, so if it's a one-of-a-kind natural wonder, it's OK to destroy it. On the other hand, if it's man-made (and presumably could be remade someday if that strait is no longer used for shipping), it cannot be destroyed.

The Tulsi Das version says that Sita herself was not actually kidnapped but there was a substitution much like Euripides says about Helen or Muslims claim about Jesus crucifixion.
