Dear Sir,
Why the archaeology department of the Government of India is
not coming forward to say anything, regarding the demolition of
600 plus year old '1000 pillared mantapam' and other heritage
structures ? Whether the protection of such centuries old
structures are left to the public ? If TTD is the custodian of
their own structures, can they do what ever they want with
them like removing or replacing. Just if TTD says that it is
to make way for bigger constructions or if it says that the
mantapam is not presently being used for vedic rituals then
can they remove structures of heritage ?. On that lines
can Charminar and Taj Mahal which are not presently being used
for any religious purposes can be removed to make way for making
other big projects for public welfare ? When the Government
of India is spending crores of rupees on the departments of
Archives, Archaeology etc, why then the common man is asked to
defend for himself for protecting the heritage buildings like
that on Tirumala ? If the departments of the Government of
India cannot protect such heritage buildings, then it is
better to assign the same to International Organizations like
UNESCO. Even the media is simply taking one sided approach
without verifiying facts and publishing nonsense views of
immature people who still are favouring such demolitions either
on flimsy grounds or by levelling baseless accusations against
people like His Holiness Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna
Jeeyar Swamiji who had to trouble himself in defending the
presence of our invaluable heritage structures instead of
concentrating on his massive touring and educating people on
the importance of our holy vedic scriptures like Srimadramayana,
Srimadbhagawadgita, Upanishad etc.
