Description
“Festival of India” gave a lot of impetus to the tourist inflow into India, one of the goals of the organizers apart from promoting Indian culture and heritage and making India better known worldwide. While promotion is important, it raises the critical question of whether this great heritage is being conserved and protected. According to the editors, not quite.
These concerns are addressed in this book, a beautiful collection of articles contributed by a vast array of scholars, both foreign and Indian. What stands out is that the book not only discusses the problems India faces but also offers remedies and solutions.
Broadly, the book focuses on four major tasks:
• To emphasize the need to think in broad interdisciplinary terms when considering conservation in the Indian context.
• To call attention to the major threats to heritage arising from India's increasing population and rapid economic and industrial progress.
• To indicate some of the steps being taken to counter these threats.
• To stress the interdependence of various aspects of heritage conservation.
These tasks are addressed through carefully selected articles. It is hoped that the book will stimulate new thinking in the area of heritage conservation and preservation and foster international cooperation to achieve this goal.
