Tagging their Names along the Taj Mahal, Such a Sad PracticeAbout Me
- Name: Mridula
- Location: India
I started 'Travel Tales from India' my India Travel Blog quite reluctantly. But it has become an anchor for my writing now. I use this blog to write 'off topic' stuff too. I have two passions, to travel in India (mostly) and then talk about it. My second passion is reading. My India travel blog was once linked at BBC and The Guardian. All my stories published at Gonomad can be viewed from this writer profile page. Interested in more India Travel Blogs?

Civic-Sense lacking.
Sad.
I agree Hobo.
Heart-breaking!
This is vandalism and those who do it should be punished to set an example.
I also wonder from where they got the purple colored stuff to scratch on the Taj Mahal walls.
Bindu the sheer magnitude of humanity that watches the Taj Mahal everyday, unless they put CCTV cameras monitoring would be impossible!
It is a sad state.
Unfortunately all our monuments are in the same state due to our own people. No government or security can help.
Rakesh, I understand why you say no security would help, I wonder if the ad campaigns made any dint in the tendency?
The ad campaign will help, if people really care for our heritage.
But one of this ad campaign has similar scribes on the monument as the last shot, where it should not have been.
Indians have an inferiority complex. Their mentality is: if its "ours" it's garbage anyway and so it's okay to not care about it, and if it's "theirs" (i.e. Western), it is great! Indians would never do this in Rome!
NS, I understand what you are saying but the Taj is so grand that it should take a special kind of stupidity to do something like it. I also wonder what would happen if you are caught for vandalism in Rome. I agree with your basic premises.
extremely sad ... i agree that it takes some special stupidity to do this :( unfortunately we have so many people gifted with such levels of stupidity ...
Sandeep, I agree. You might also remember the graffiti at Agra Fort, it is 10 times worse!
