  • The sad state of archaelogical remains of ancient India displaying Sanatan Dharma's prevalance across the Indian subcontinent

    Assam historically have been untouched by foreign invasions, especially Mughals, thanks to the great Kings of Ahom Kingdom and the revered army general Shri Lachit Borbhukan, and has a rich cultural history because of that. As someone who lives in Guwahati, Assam, the heart of North-East India I can walk to any of the hills nearby and see ancient carvings on the rocks that have survived hundreds of years but the sad part is these ancient relics are not at all protected by the state government or the ASI which is sad as people often put their effort into ancient archaelogical remains that have been totally destructed by foreign forces centuries ago, while that also needs to happen, these ancient relics too require the same kind of treatment otherwise we will just lose it to time These rock carvings are from Urvashi Island, a small riverine island with nothing but just rocks in the middle of the mighty Brahmaputra with rock carvings of Hindu dieties, with water levels going above in the monsoon months these are prone to erosion and in due time it will just vanish from the face of the earth without any trace. I don't know why ASI is so uninterested or demotivated in preserving the vast ancient heritage of India, in the mainland they are so keen on preserving all the Mughal built sites but when it comes to these ancient relics that predates these invaders there's little to no interest. Visit Assam, see an India that's untouched by mughal influence of any sort before it's too late and these historical landmarks just become ink on old papers.
