I had just posted an opinion of how Indians have no sense of history or record
keeping.
Here is a prime example of how badly the Taj Mahal, a tourist money- spinner

to rant in frustration “Preserve it or raze it.”

When I came to semi-settle in Goa 16+ years ago, I encountered the nightmare of
the bureaucracy. From obtaining a drivers license to buying a vehicle, to
