The National mission on Monuments is putting together a database of heritage sites and monuments and will help with their conservation. (http://www.asi.nic.in/asi_mission.asp)<br /><br />But urbanisation and preservation will always be a tug of war. I think social media can help in increasing the awareness and relevance of these historical sites - which will in turn drive traffic and make them commercially viable to maintain..https://www.blogger.com/profile/05407487420418047595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994741050593614382.post-51238268940459790632009-11-29T11:42:17.029+05:302009-11-29T11:42:17.029+05:30I am deeply concerned and anyone who has some inte...I am deeply concerned and anyone who has some interest in history will feel the same about our heritage. I think the problem with our country is also due to the abundance of historical monuments and not all of them draw attention. In a country like India revenue is the biggest motivator and given the priorities of a developing nation, its quite natural to ignore some nice to have things. Like any other product, history also needs to be marketed properly. I know few historical places in MP which are as good as jaipur or Ajanta but they are not known to outside world. Sooner or later they will be eaten up by the urbanization. I feel state government should categorize monuments based on their history, novelty and no of visitors .it is important that local resident connect to these places and monuments. Probably revenue and maintenance of these less important places should be managed by local authorities instead of central government and there should be some serious strategies to market them to outside world. What are your ideas to increase the visibility of these places and monuments?Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545696765331758287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994741050593614382.post-84143088382937116552009-09-16T22:02:18.947+05:302009-09-16T22:02:18.947+05:30Its unfortunate, but History is fast becoming Hist...Its unfortunate, but History is fast becoming History.Abhinavnoreply@blogger.com
