IS INDIA'S MOST URGENT NEED A NEW PARLIAMENT BUILDING?

India has a beautiful Parliament that was designed by two renowned British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker at the beginning of the 20th century only a year before WW I began in the hay days of colonialism.


The Hindu government of Narendra Modi has looked away from the innumerable woes that afflict its citizens and has resolved to build a new building to house the Parliament.

While there are many reasons being peddled for the millions of Indian rupees that will go down the drain on this project the real reason floating only in whispers is to put a distinct Hindu mark on the house that represents Indian democracy.


An unspoken resolve to wipe out memories of British rule and British contribution to India and to superimpose all things Hindu on the Indian government, its institutions, its buildings, its leaders, and its people is behind the creation of the new Parliament building.


A country that desperately needs financial resources for its air, water, and agricultural land to be purified or preserved so that life will continue to flourish, is instead pouring precious money on things that will not protect life, and instead provoke divisions and conflict among its varied people.
