Sri Lanka connected to india

[Straha]

There is a line of shallows across the Palk Strait between India and
Sri Lanka / Ceylon. Sometimes in the past this has been a complete
land bridge / isthmus across, but not since it broke in a cyclone in
1480 AD. It was made by longshore currents and waves moving sand (NOT
by an army of monkeys carrying rocks in as the Indian story called
Ramayana says). What if such a land bridge was there and intact up to
the present day? (Likely the British Raj in India would have built a
road and a railway along it.)

Nice idea Straha.

I'd rather have the army of monkeys though. Think what the Brits can do with them. :D

[Leej]

It was intact until modern times?
Wow...Odd...I'm going to have to look this up.

As an island people do sail around Sri Lanka. However if the land bridge did continue to exist there would undoubtedly be a different cultural make up to Sri Lanka. Under the British its likely that a railway would be built across it with part of it either being elevated or a cantilever bridge to allow ships transit under it.
