Shivneri



Received this image from a friend recently, which shows the sorry state of birth-place of Shivaji Maharaj. If Maharashtra government would spend 1% of the money on taking care of historical places of what it otherwise spends on erecting statues of Shivaji and renaming every nook and corner after him; then that would be a true memorial for coming generations. Otherwise all they are likely to see is 'Vasu loves Sapna' and its many versions.

ha ha.. very well pointed out Nandan. Truly ironic, the attitude of Maharashtra Govt.
Dude, you have to put a permanent link on your Viprashna blog to this Blog. I keep forgetting you have 3 blogs :)

Ya, something I am planning to do for a long time. :)

Nandan,

That is the state of almost all the forts in MH state! See the sorry state in which Janjeera stands in my latest post on my marathi blog.
