There is no point in defacing our monuments just for the sake of fun as we do not achieve anything, and in turn destroy the beauty of the monuments. Similarly, by sticking posters of films, etc. we are only chalking a path towards their extinction.

The proof of this is that today in Delhi, there are so many monuments that we are not even aware of.

We know only of certain prominent monuments in India, such as the Taj Mahal, as they have been preserved well till today.

We all took a pledge there that we will never destroy the heritage of India.

My experience at ASI Museum
The visit to the Children’s Museum was a very important visit for us — the youngsters of the present generation. It was a beautiful way of expressing the decline and depletion of our heritage and monuments.

We went to a room called ‘Delhi’s Past -Present’ exhibition. We saw pictures of many monuments, some which we already knew about and some whose names also we haven’t come across. We saw them through paintings made by specialised artists.

Later on, we went to the second section ‘The Astitva’. In this section, we learnt a lot about how people are destroying our heritage and our monuments. The room was created with a lot of imagination and skills. As soon as I entered the room, I felt we were in a dirty and filthy area where people have scribbled on the walls and stuck bills.
