Hindu Monuments - Thou hath no value in secular eyes?

The World Monuments Foundation (WMF) is the leading private organization dedicated to saving the worlds most treasured places. Since 1965–in more than 90 countries–WMF experts have been racing against time, applying proven techniques to preserve important architectural and cultural heritage sites around the globe.

The 2010 watch list for India has five monuments and is listed below.

1) Chiktan Castle

2) Dechen Namgyal Gonpa

3) Historic Civic Center of Shimla:

4) Kothi, Qila Mahmudabad:

Of the four, though there are monuments from other notable religions, is no Hindu monument worth preservation in the eyes of WMF? What about the Hampi caves or the Jogeshwari caves which are in a state of neglect? What about hundreds of monuments in Orissa? What about the Ram Sethu? No one seeing any value and greatness in them? The Jogeshwari caves are beneath a slum in Mumbai crying for attention.

Yo, Hindu Monuments, you have done the biggest mistake of your life by being Hindu in this secular nation and secular world!

Now Kerala Points to Harappan Civilization

KERALA, INDIA, September 29, 2009: A rock engraving, indicating clear remnants of Harappan culture, has been found in the Edakkal caves in neighboring Wayanad district, linking the Indus Valley civilization with South India.

“There had been indications of remnants akin to the Indus Valley civilization in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, but these new findings give credence to the fact that the Harappan civilization had its presence in the region too and could trace the history of Kerala even beyond the Iron Age,” historian M.R. Raghava Varier said.

The unique symbols integral to the Indus Valley culture traced in Harappa and Mohanjedaro region that stretched upto Pakistan, were found inside the caves during recent excavations by the State Archaeological Department.

Of the identified 429 signs, one was “a man with jar cup”, a symbol unique to the Indus civilization and other compound letters testified to remnants of the Harappan culture, spanning from 2300 BC to 1700 BC, in South India.
