Wonderful review

This refers to the review of Shehr-e-Kashmir by Mehmood-ur-Rashid titled The wealth of Srinagar.
The passion with which the review has been written is striking. The emotions informing the text are genuine and each word seems to be pouring out of the heart. The vision of Srinagar as it evolved before my  own eyes spanning decades  came alive.
I am of the view that   every  heritage form  absorbs    the  contemporary influences cutting across geographical, ideological and religious  boundaries, but  firmly retains   its  essential   indigenous   characteristics  which form the core. Architecture is much more than bricks, mortar and design. It has a soul whose  purity   remains beyond contamination. Let us bow before this  fundamental truth. and celebrate  the great work on  Shehar-i-Kashmir.  Yes legislative and other measures for preservation of this marvel of heritage  must materialise quickly on top most priority.
