I don’t know if it is peer pressure or group think, probably both, but this criticism about #JallianwalaBagh is so unfounded and unfortunate. I have visited the massacre site. It was frankly a disgrace. Unkempt, dilapidated and not maintained at all.
It was hardly a memorial befitting innocent martyrs who were killed for simply existing. It was a disgrace that such a solemn site had turned into ruins. Of course we want to maintain the sanctity of the place, but we also want to keep it neat and clean.
One can have issues with sound and light show. I personally don’t like them but I do see how it can be useful to attract young kids. Music can be changed with constructive criticism, but as far as maintaining the massacre site and cleaning it up,there is zero reason to criticize.
Somehow the problem with Left everywhere around the world is that they like filth, dirt and unkempt places. They thrive in squalor and decay. From Kolkata to JNU they can keep nothing clean and they hate it if anyone else cleans the mess they have left behind.
My only suggestion to @PMOIndia is - please incorporate Subhadra Kumari Chauhan’s iconic poem - ‘Jallianwala bagh main basant’ in the voiceover somewhere. The iconic poem by iconic poet of India captures essence of #Jallianwala Bagh like nothing else does.
For those who have never heard the poem here is the link.
