Bijai Mandal - a forgotten monument !!!

So a week with chaos all over Delhi and marching parades on roads seems to be halted from now, it was the time to analyze what promises we got (which often remains promises forever). I am not a so interested in politics guy but clicking news channels to find manifestos of different parties to find that, is there someone?? Who is raising voice for our so old and precious then platinum heritages and unique historical monuments and there enhancement and maintenance.I went to (Bijai-mandala)

part of hauj khaas fort for the first time along with my friends this week, it was my weekly test day so we got a one hour break so decided to explore some new dimensions of our mysterious city. As we reached the gate of this fort which is differentiated in many parts at the locality of hauj khas (one of the most sensitive places and mix-up of ancient culture and modernization) we were welcomed by a bunch of boys playing gilli danda and cricket. I was left amused by this gesture. It seems we have no value for these precious structures. As we entered in it we were amused by its architecture and art.

As a science student I can think how much it would have been tough for them to build without any help of mechanical help of technology, but instead of preserving these priceless sculptures we are disfiguring and defacing them. So after that incident I recently wordified this incident to draw attention of all of you so that we can preserve our treasury so that forthcoming generations may get a chance to realize what was possible at that time without any machines.
