Some people say that Government should break down all the historic building and replace them with modern buildings. Do you agree or disagree?

A few people think that all monuments built during ancient times must be replaced with new structures by the

government

. I strongly disagree

to

Suggestion

with

this

fact since

Accept comma addition

fact, since

our

government

will not be able to recreate them and these buildings make learning history easier for our children. Our engineers today will not be able to build a structure as strong and sturdy as our ancient monuments. In the good old days, the ministry under the rule of kings were able to build structures which could stand firm and

last

for many centuries. Unless and until their age-old engineering techniques remain hidden, the

government

at present cannot recreate nor renew these buildings.

For example

, the Big temple at Tanjore built under the rule of King Raja Raja Chola holds a lot of mysteries for over 1000 years. The engineering behind how the capstone which weighs 100 tons was taken to the height of 200 metres and placed above the temple is still not discovered. Historical tours for students makes learning easier and help

younger generation

Suggestion

the younger generation

realise our great heritage. Rather than reading and memorizing content from text books, children should be taken to monuments and allowed to touch and feel the architecture of structures.

Moreover

,

such

trips will inculcate the importance of our culture and permit children to take pride in our heritage. A recent survey conducted among students who chose History and Civics as their majors, reveals that 90% of them prefer educational tours to historical places rather than excursions for entertainment. I would like to conclude by disagreeing

to

Suggestion

with

the fact that the present authorities should destroy our ancient buildings and replace them with new structures. Historical monuments should be maintained by the

government

since we cannot raise one

such

everlasting structure today and through these monuments we would be able to educate and pass on our rich tradition to the young generation.
