We are in the grip of selfish people, who have no respect for our Culture or value for Heritage. No wonder artifacts of our heritage are traded freely among the foreign collectors. If you see the working of the present Archeological Department you will understand. This fund starved department is crawling at snail's speed.It will look that the progress has been stopped since the departure of the British Governance. If you visit their office attached to Tanjavur Big Temple or any other Temple of repute you will be appalled by the condition of the office, with rickety wooden furniture gathering dust.

Our Government Museums and Libraries, except in New Delhi, have stopped growing long ago. For instance in Bangalore the Governments never thought of building a big Museum or a Library at all. What we have are the good old Museum and the Central Library built in 19th Century by great Diwans under Maharajahs.

At this rate of negligence not even God can save India.

Brahmanyan,
