There a...So true Kiran...We have no sense of pride.<br />There are so many others like the Button Factory..<br /><br />For example the Ganges, As far as most Indians are concerned is a holy river , but most places are strewn with plastics..how can you consider something holy and desecrate it that way.<br /><br />Did you know there was an entire section about India in the British museum. It was small for a huge country with such a long glorious history..but thats just what it is isnt it.. if we dont tell our own story noobody every will...<br /><br />Recently the story about the Higgs- Boson almost being discovered was greeted all over the world.<br />What struck me was while the english media spoke about Peter Higgs.. nothing was said about the Boson.. so it falls to us to tell our own ...If we don't a part of what is fact would be lost forever!Meena Venkataramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389946736560941286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078582366290900434.post-39150066079405756462012-07-08T07:07:53.834+01:002012-07-08T07:07:53.834+01:00It's really interesting to see the medals and ...It's really interesting to see the medals and to know about their history. Reading your post, I was reminded of a "Button factory" we had heard about and went visiting sometime in 2002 in Hyderabad. It was a dilapidated heritage building, there was a family living there who had been the original button makers and when we said we had heard there used to be a button factory here, they brought out large wooden boxes to show us - which had the most amazing metal buttons we had ever seen! They had been made for the army, for the royal families. There was no museum, few people in Hyderabad know that a button factory ever existed in the city. Wish we had the same concern and resources for cultural heritage that England has!Indian Bazaarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914323475841527802noreply@blogger.com
