Students sense of Belonging towards the Adopted Monument I student of class VIII-A of g.d.Salwan Public School visited Bhooli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal from school with my class coordinator and classmates. It is a Monument built in 14th century to thank the lady named Bhatiyari who helped Firoz Shah Tuglaq when he lost his way while hunting. Our school plans to adopt this monument. When we went there we were shocked to see its condition , our expectations were shattered. The present condition is only because of human activities . But I have already developed a kind of belongingness towards this heritage site. I can visualize the picture in my mind about how beautiful it must be in the 14 th century. But today it is in a bad shape. This shows our lack of care towards this monument . We think that it is our history, our past but it’s our duty to protect this herit...

This place can be made into a very popular spot for tourists and nearby residents. When I learnt from my teacher that the school plans to adopt this monument my mind started running about what it would look like after its renovation. To make this monument look as per my imagination we all have to take certain initiatives and steps. We also require government help for this gigantic task. I am really impatient and just want to put my foot on the accelerator and make this beautiful as fast as possible . We all have to become familiar with this m...
