Answer 2

Answer:

The controversy was O Vivekananda rock

Explanation:

Location:-

• Kanyakumari, the southernmost point of India, is home to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial.
• About 500 meters off the Vavathurai mainland, on one of the two rocks, is where the memorial is located.

Cause of the controversy:-

• It is said that Goddess Kanyakumari (Parvathi) underwent tapas in adoration of Lord Shiva on this rock.
• The Kanyakumari Committee was established in 1962 to put up a memorial on the rock and a pedestrian bridge linking to the rock in honor of the centennial of Swami Vivekananda's birth. The Ramakrishna Mission in Madras started organizing this memorial almost simultaneously.
• The rock was identified as Vivekananda Rock and the Cross as a trespass, according to a legal investigation that was ordered by the Madras (now Chennai) government.
• The Cross was quietly taken down throughout the night amidst all of this strife. The situation became tense, the rock was deemed a banned location, and armed guards were posted there.

Conclusion:-

• The authorities became aware that the rock was becoming a source of contention, with Christians claiming it to be St. Xavier's Rock and Hindus claiming it to be the Vivekananda Rock. Even though the rock was designated as Vivekananda Rock, it was decided that no memorial would be built there.
• M. Bhaktavatsalam, the then-chief minister of Tamil Nadu, decreed that only a tablet stating that the rock was connected to Swami Vivekananda could be erected. On January 17, 1963, the tablet was affixed to the rock with government approval.
