Happy New Year Twenty-Ten

Mr. Parrikar,
Great photography, as usual.
It would not surprise anyone when these antiquities - statuary which the
temple guardians discarded for modernization - in time find their way to
Sotheby's.
With complicit help of Indians.
So much for pukka Indians ( them with Indian citizenship !!) trafficking in the
sale and dispersal and destruction of their own heritage. Sound familiar?
The Indian government does little to safeguard her heritage and halt the
illegal trade in antiquities.
Goa, and India has to survey, inventory and document her antiquities.
Your photography adds to that effort.
Smugglers and pillagers of antiquities should be rendered castrati.
