really sad that we don't care about our heritage. India has the world's best collection of heritage but we will soon loose them if we don't care! we need to wake up

Lovely video ... Sad to know of Patna's disappearing heritage ... My Ma in law's family belonged to Patna , her father was a High court Judge during the Raj .. In the '60's .Part of our school prayer said ...'' I love my country & I am proud of its rich & varied heritage '' wonder if children still know the school prayer !!! .Hope the people are awakened to the preservation of our Heritage !!!.As most officials & authorities seem to be insensitive to the issue ... thank you .

They must save all heritage structures
