Retracing Indian Roots

Every state in India, big or small, has more history, art, culture & heritage, than any single nation of Europe or America. There's a surreal indescribable pride to be born in one of the oldest cradles of civilization.
Amidst the glass and concrete buildings of the modern world, we are slowly overlooking the Architecture of our golden bygone era. The Architecture and technology so unrealistically marvelous and ahead of it's time, that the West was compelled to label it as the work of Aliens!

But with the same Pride, comes Responsibility. The responsibility of Respecting, Conserving and Preserving our Heritage. Every year we observe 'World Heritage week' aimed to increase awareness among people about their culture and traditions. It is crucial to adapt & innovate according to the changing times, but it's equally paramount to stay true to your roots and learn from your ancestral knowledge of thousands of years.

THE HISTORY AND HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE OF THE ASI

 

In Bureaucratic Archaeology, an ethnographic study of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), author Ashish Avikunthak shows how the work of archaeologists, which was originally supposed to be scholarly, has degenerated into a performance of official duty instead of promoting any professional and creative act of intellectual inquiry, this routine "normalises" the work into mere occupation.
