a heritage is carried forward by living the principles and ideals upheld in the passage of history--not by preserving/glorification/identification/recognition of physicals made of brick/stone however tall/big they may be -----and attracting the tourists
all physicals will go with time however well-maintained--perhaps with a natural phenomena like seismic shake, etc
question is whether heritage is live today and what is its influence on the people and country-----or relegated only to books/library/exhibitions /statues/photos/museums picking dust and serving white ants---reminiscent of some dead past
time is fortunately a great leveler and healer
let the history be buried in the archives of time
let the geography be sunk in the unreachable depths of archaeology
yes , things have served well in their time, and have to flow down to the oceans of forgetfulness
let what is relevant to contemporary stay and serve life around
traditions and heritages should be preserved in living the values, not in book,film,brick and stone
a charminar, a tajmahal a fort, a monument , a statue can be works of beauty and symbols of glory , what can be their relevance to the more beautiful more glorious present time
history better stay written as lesson learnt ---in the form of a better society, more civilized, more kind, more caring, more considerate, more tolerant--with less cruelty, violence, exploitation, greed, terror
let geography give more space for trees, animals, for agriculture, for life, shifting the priority from non living to living beings
