A Dutch colonial cemetery in India is “of national importance.”
Centrally protected. Maintained. Guarded.
A sub-shrine of the Ramappa temple complex—built by the same civilisation that mastered floating bricks and star-mapped geometry—has “no importance.”
Not protected. Left to decay.
This is not a funding problem.
This is a values problem.
You cannot chant “$10 trillion economy” while your heritage policy still bows to colonial memory and shrugs at indigenous genius.
