Did Rama suspect Sita's fidelity? (My talk in Thamarai TV)

This interview in Thamarai TV was taken last year at the height of Ram Setu issue.

I noticed it only recently posted in the Thamarai website and hence reproducing it now.

The interview covers two topics: 

1) the feasibility of cutting across the Ram Setu for navigation purpose.

2) the controversial issue of Agni Pariksha of Sita and the exile of pregnant Sita. In both these cases, Rama is accused as having Sita. Is it so? If not, why did he allow her to do enter fire and later send her to the forest when she was pregnant.

At this time of Rama's home-coming in Ayodhya in a grand temple, I thought we can go through these questions and get logical and correct answers.

I believe I have given the most correct answer for the second issue in which I find the divine couple as ideal couple who stood for family honour. In the final analysis, Rama is found to be a prisoner of circumstances and Sita, a victim of circumstances. 

The video can be watched here. Comments are welcome.
