The highest number of World Heritage Site listed in India is in Tamil Nadu.Still they haven't mentioned a single one.Its really pathetic reporting by Rediff.
The Bragadeesvarar temple @ Tanjore & rock cut temples Mahabalipuram are missing. Meenatchi temeple in Madurai also missing. These are all world heritage sites of UNESCO. Bragdeesvarar temple was built with a 40Tons weight of single stone roof at around 100 Mtrs height. This temeple was built around 1050 years back.

the morale of the story is, if you have hostile environment (that is the image we have about ourselves to outsiders), even if you have the best heritage site, it will be unnoticed and not worthy of a mention.

I visited Brihadeeswara temple, Gangaikonda Cholapuram,Mahabalipuram as well as myriad ancient temples of Tamilnadu without encountering any "hostile" environment. On the other hand in certain holy places in North and Central India, I found the priests were fleecing the visitors by adopting intimidating tactics.

Dear moderator, You allow a hate message asking for the demolition of a beautiful historic structure but delete my message which gives the appreciation of a distinguished writer of a structure appreciated by yourself!

Good! Let me say once again that Aldous Huxley wrote an appreciative essay on the red sandstone structures of Sikri. Taj Mahal however fares rather poorly in his estimate.
