Preservation of Our Heritage

1. Why should we preserve and conserve our heritage?


The heritage of India is multifarious which brings glory to the nation. Cultural heritage accommodates
sculpture, architecture, literature, various arts and natural heritage. Natural and man-made factors are
adversely affecting our heritage, hence its preservation is required. Our heritage glorifies the people of our
country so they respect our heritage by associating it with their own identity. We should preserve vanishing
arts and architecture so that the upcoming generations can be inspired by the works done by our ancestors.
As we are not much aware about the preservation of our heritage and our negligence is chiefly responsible for
its degradation, therefore it has become necessary to preserve our heritage.

2. Explain the importance to preserve and conserve our heritage.


Our heritage is the identity of the nation. The country which ignores it does not have any future as heritage is
our guide. The errors we have committed in the past can be rectified in the present and we can properly plan
for the future. Heritage acts as a guide to decide the direction of our development. Heritage is necessary for
the transmission of new consciousness across the country. As heritage is considered as an ideal for the
people, it is necessary to cease its degradation.

 Many people come to visit, to explore and to do research on our heritage from India and other countries.
This boosts our tourism and transportation industry.
 Alongwith the economic benefits to the concerned states, tourism industry provides opportunity and
proper platform to showcase our multifarious cultural arts and traditions in front of the world.
 Apart from this, tourism also provides employment to the local people and this keeps the vanishing arts
and traditions alive.

tourism guide as an independent business.

material for the conservation of wildlife.
 Wildlife Protection Act enacted in 1972 gave a firm status to the national parks, sanctuaries and bio –
reserves.
 New national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and bio – reserves have been established.
 The laws of our country for the preservation of our heritage have a wild perspective.
 Strict laws have been framed to stop the destruction of vanishing vegetation and wildlife.
 Apart from govt, there are several societies and organisations which have been actively taking up the task
of protection of wildlife and environment.
5. Explain our role in the preservation of the museums.
According to the Indian Treasure Trove Act, 1876, if any citizen suddenly finds any ancient artistic and
antique article from a house, well, field and lake etc. while digging then he has to immediately notify to the
officer of archaeological department. With this small effort they can preserve valuable things which could have
been lost due to the carelessness. Govt has tried to obtain information regarding personal or private
museums consisting expensive artistic pieces under the act of 1972. Systematically archived documents
corresponding to each state provides better guidance to the historians and researches.

6. Explain our role in the preservation of our heritage.

individuals on should play an effective role in that direction.

remains, sites etc.
 They should help in their preservation and protection.
 Everyone should take care of these monuments by preparing the list of all heritage sites.
 Valuable things should not be destroyed, broken or stolen.
 Schools, colleges and NGOs should conduct programs like visit to the historical places and sites,
speeches, exhibitions, discussions, seminars etc. to create awareness towards the preservation of
heritage.
 It is our moral duty that they should not be destroyed and shifted to other place.

7. How we should keep cleanliness and preserve our tourist’s spots?


 We should not use plastics.
 We should not litter at picnic spots, and should use dustbin.
 We should not spoil historical monuments either by writing or drawing pictures.
 There should be proper disposal of waste.

8. Write a note on “Unity in Diversity”.


Being one of the most ancient civilizations of the world, India has varied and rich cultural heritage. Diversity of
India is its unique identity. India has a fine amalgamation of different castes, communities, religions, traditions,
culture etc. Yet India stands united an undivided. India has proved the feelings of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’.
The whole world is a family. This feeling exists in India since Vedic periods.
