Heritage Awareness (some points) - can be used for poster / article/ letter etc (For more information on heritage awareness see youngintach.org)
READ THE QUESTION – If it is only about heritage monuments, write only about that. If it is about heritage in general, then mention other aspects of heritage
India has an extraordinarily rich, vast and diverse cultural heritage in the form of built heritage, archaeological sites and remains since prehistoric times. The sheer magnitude in number alone is overwhelming
-these are the symbols of both cultural expression and evolution and attract interest of foreign and Indian tourists and scholars
Our heritage is our pride, be it:
Natural heritage- water, trees, bio-diversity
Built Heritage-monuments, architecture, towns and cities
Material Heritage- museums, art work and art-restoration
Living Heritage- performing arts, crafts, literature, language, traditional medicine, way of life
However - Monuments - Neglected- crumbling-defaced, littered. Lovers scratch their names; people steal stones, wood, inlay; homeless have made these their habitat- dry clothes/ dirty the surroundings. Modern living is making us forget our living heritage and we are harming our natural heritage.
-Need to be protected and conserved. Both government and people need to shake their apathy
Young Indians need to be part of the mission to save and spread awareness. Teachers, students and parents can mobilize community participation.
SUGGESTIONS: Join heritage clubs,
take heritage walks, explore and discover,
schools can adopt a monument for care, support ASI projects,
spread awareness through debates, poster- making competitions, quizzes, movies, video- shows, signature campaigns,
join clean- river drive; teach people living around monuments to respect them
Promote traditional arts, craft, food, medicines through ‘haats’ and exhibitions-most importantly cherish our heritage.
A pledge taken by students in the assembly to protect the heritage will become a life-long commitment.
