[Assam] ASI move to preserve Charaideo maidams

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Dhanyabad Manoj,
  You expressed my heart.This is the reason I stopped visiting places which are PROTECTED BY ASI !!
I dnt want the chest pain should lead to Cardiac Arrest then and there.... or brain stroke.ASI will not compensate for this!! Neither Govt of India feels....Money make all great.History secondary.

The max damage was done by the tomb raiders of the East India Co.. And that
is not unusual for the Britishers to do so during that time.

Recently I went for a heritage walk in the Mehrauli Archeological Park..
Part of the complex was owned by a British businessman called Metcalfe
during Bahadur Shah Zafar's time. He removed the tombstones of Balban- the *
'damad*' of Qutubuddin Ai-baq ;and also that of Quli Khan- the foster
brother of Emperor Akbar. Quli Khan's tomb was converted into a drawing room
to entertain the powerful and wheeler dealers during the fag end of Mughal
rule. He further went ahead to convert the Western gate of Qutub Minar to a
swimming pool- the pool was fed with rain water from the Mehrauli village.
Its quite interesting to take the walk. One can see 9 centuries packed in
about 15 acres of land.
