shyam Sudan
India is one of the most ancient civilization of the world. It is known for its rich composite culture and heritage. No doubt it was one of the most advanced and culturally rich place on this planet. At one time in history we were blessed with the coronation of world leader( vishav guru) due to our rich cultural values and teaching. This is a land of great sufis, saints,sages and philosophers. People of different religions had been living here since time immemorial. This is the land of great Aryans, the most visionary and intellectual humans on this planet. In our historical engraving and other monumental records there is glimpse of such incredible things .This is also a place of most religious minded people in the world.There was a great impact of these visionary people on the culture of our country. Also we can see an impact of different cultures on our society .we can say that our culture is an amalgamation of different cultures of the world. Due to various invasions and inundation in history we have got this composite and blended cultural heritage.
Like India, the composite culture of jammu and Kashmir is also very rich and prosperous. There is also an impact of Sufism, Mugal reign,dogra ruling and other local culture.
Within a short range of distance we have seen a different picture of our cultural identity. Lot of languages,customs ,tradations and different mode of living can be seen everywhere in this region. There are lot of historical monuments, religious places,shrines,mausoleum, tombs etc can be seen everywhere which gives the testimony of our rich culture of past .These historical structures and buildings justify our assertion towards our rich and composite glory.
But due to various invasions, natural calamities, physical forces and other reasons these historical places has got a major setback. Now these heritages are gradually losing their glory and prosperous status. There are lot of reasons responsible for their extinction and destruction. Sometime our ignorant approach is also responsible for this destruction of our culturally rich heritage places and structure. We are not serious towards their preservation and conservation. As a result we have seen a ruined and dilapidated structures of our past in our surroundings which have a great cultural value. There are various places and historical structures which now comes in the list of world heritage places and famous for their past glory and prestige.
No doubt it is responsibility of every ruling government to protect and conserve such places of historical importance and glory. Moreove it is also the responsibility of the government to give protection to every custom, language and traditional system of every community. But ,being a civilized citizen of our native place it is also the responsibility of we people to think and act for this direction. It is only possible when every citizen is well aware about such things. We frequently visit these places for our recreation and amusement. But we are totally unaware about the historic value and importance of such places.In our ignorance and carelessness we are destroying these places of beauty and historical importance. There are lot of historical monuments, temples, mosques, epitomes, forts, parks, pilgrimage places and other small world recognize places in Jammu and Kashmir. Moreover there are lot of regional languages, customs and traditions. In order to give protection to these things there is need of proper guidance and coordination by all sections of society. We can impart the information and awareness for preservation of such things in the mind of an individual at the beginning of their life.And this is only possible if an awareness campaign is launched at school level of an individual.At the very beginning of an individual we can give a very postive information and guidance for the protection and preservation of our rich culture. In the name of advancement and under the influence of western culture we are losing our past glory and culturally rich social structure of life. We are gradually losing our customs, languages and mode of traditional living. During our visit to various historical and monumental places we generally ignore the idea of their care and protection. Many ignorant people are generally habitual of hand engraving, scrapping and scribbling on such monumental places. Such wrong habits at the part of we people gradually destroying our own places of historical importance. There is an urgent need to launch a campaign at district level of every region of Jammu and Kashmir to aware the people about the importance of such places and our customs. Proper conservation and protection programme must be launched at ground level.Moreover every regional language, customs and tradition must be given proper protection from the law and social structure. In order to boost the cultural heritage of our social order we should focuss on our own rich and inherited values .It is the responsibility of we people to think for the betterment and renovation of our own historical places of our nearby vicinity. We can launch a cleanliness drive, plantation drive for these places.
Moreover in order to create an interest in our regional languages and cultural identity we can organise some events and stage performances at every tehsil level.With the abrogation of artical 370 ,now people of this region is in fear for losing their cultural identity. Government must launch a campaign of social boosting for this to win the faith of public at large.If we are not giving importance to our historical places and cultural identity, it means we are dishonouring the toil and talent of our ancestors and their inherited skills .No doubt there is an impact of generation gap between the two progonies but there is no place for this gap in our rich cultural heritage and values. With the joint efforts of all and proper coordination of all sections of society we can preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture. |
