There is hardly any country in the world with such diverse physical structures representing the grandeur of architecture, art, religion, knowledge in various fields, etc.We don't like the plain, intricate and aesthetic carvings on stone so people beautify them with our very own red paint like tobacco or pan.
Whenever you visit any place of historical importance, somebody has engraved their names, spat, littered or pissed on the walls.
Tourists worldwide pay huge amounts to visit these places and be acquainted with Indian history and we treat them like our junkyard, probably because we haven't yet realised what we have and what value it holds.
Even, The Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world doesn't just have odd drawings but nonsensical scribblings ENGRAVED on it. Such damage cannot be reversed and the government every year spends crores of rupees for its beautification, as if the existing pollution wasn't damaging enough.
Next time you visit any place of historical importance, please urge people not to spoil the place by scribbling or spitting around and do not throw waste anywhere. Please throw them in designated dustbins only. A small step taken by you now will not only increase the pride of India but will save the environment as well.
