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--per​haps 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/exhibit​s /statues/photos/muse​ums 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 
even Scripture in the form of taal pathra, shila phalaka, manuscripted, printed, or even as a google searchable thing ---is not the thing. not real, it is old, it is backward
scripture cognizable in the consciousness of the human  being in the present times is the thing.
the real thing., it is a live phenomena happening in the present time, in each person depending on the level of the sadhaka, it is as live as the present moment.. it is upward and forward.

a charminar, a tajmahal a fort, a monument , a statue, a tower, a fort can be works of beauty and symbols of glory , what can be their relevance to the more beautiful more glorious present time?

let 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
