Quite a philosophical question this no?
Apparently, India has an act that defines what are monuments. It goes
by the rather descriptive name, Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. You can read this act here - http://www.asi.nic.in/asi_monuments.asp
Some monuments are well preserved, and others are a blot on our conscience, and the 'activities' of the ASI.
Not that this is the objective, and not that the objective of our participation in WLM is to create a tourist paradise, but I do hope that some of the photographic documentation achieved in this year's photothon will help create some public outcry against the widespread decay and neglect.
We have, in general, far too many laws and far too little public concern about the manner of their implementation.
My answer to you here is in a much broader context than the
competition, in reference to which you ask this question.
warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas
