I really wonder how many of us recognize the above the picture....
I really wonder how many of us have heard about it or seen the photographs....
I really wonder how many of us have been there....
I really wonder how many of us knew that a place like this even exist....
Well i'm talking about the "Bibi Ka maqbara", which was built by Prince Azam Shah as a tribute to his mother Rabia Durrani.(It seems that its often reffered to as 'poor man's Taj'). I dint know about this amazing place until recently when senthil (my husband) told me about it. I was shocked and surprised when i looked into the pictures. I couldnt help but be amazed by the resemblence it had with Taj mahal. What a shame that few of us dint even know about the existence of such an wonderful monument. We keep talking about the spectacular view of Niagara, the gorgeous lady in the statue of liberty, but i guess we are forgeting the numerous treasures that our country has been housing for centuries.
Its really sad to look at the current condition of the Bibi ka maqbara or few other historic places for that matter. Forget about building new landmarks, if we really cant protect or preserve the ones that we have now, i dont know where we are heading?. Just imagine in next 50 years what would be left of it. We take pride in saying that we are one of the oldest civilisations but what are we doing to protect the trails of our civilisation. When people all over the world are proud of their historic buildings and take utmost care to protect them we are just talking. We simply blame the population for the poor maintenance of such valuable monuments. Only when we invest in a business we would be able to earn profit. Similarly the government should invest in such historic places to attract tourists and this in turn will help to improve the country's revenue. Lets not be just proud about our country's treaures but also lets take this opportunity to show the world. If any of you know of such great places which is not been exhibited properly please share in this blog. Lets bring out all the hidden treasures.

Ok, I was told by a friend that TajMahal was built by Hindus and its a Temple Of Lord Shiva, Guess you would be amazed and confused at the same time if you don't no this before. I will try to look for that mail which was sent to me by one of my friend about TajMahal and its secrets. I guess we left out quite a lot in protecting them. We are outside India and just blogging and talking, why cant we go to India and fix some of these small issues.
ReplyDeleteyep even i'm aware of the secrets that u are talking about....if u google "tajmahal's hidden secret" u get the link....i personally dont believe it.....even if it is true it is somehow a part of our great history....i agree with u in contributing for protecting the treasures...i guess v can contribute from anywhere....
