It is really very shame full that we A’badis are raising issue of religion when it comes to kankaria lake!!!
We all know that it was developed by Muslim rulers but the artisans made it were Hindus. And after Moguls there were Peshwas, Gayakwads and British who ruled over the a’bad before 1947!!!!. how can we raise such an issue in today’s time??
I wonder why no one cares to think about how we can preserve our monuments and use them. Everyone is happy with the development happening around the lake but does anyone cares the way beautiful stone steps and other stone structures are painted and declared as protected monument where no one can go!!!??? Once these stone surface is painted I dought if its possible to get the same character of stone back. Now we always need to keep them painted with ‘red’ colour!!!
it looks like as if the beautiful lake is caged and we can only see it. Can’t go close to it!!! Can no more have experience of standing on those amazing platforms and feed fishes or watch the sun set standing on it.
Does anyone feel like talking about how our monuments are taken away from us and so called protected as if some animal in a cage? You can only see them from distance and keep feeling great about it??

Mr G Patel, What is the true meaning of democracy if we are going to segregate people in public places.?
It may be a shame that some of them are not patriotic and causing damage to Guj and India but being democratic we need to be open to all communities.

Hi Rishi,

you are right but lets worry about development. and this is not ther fist and last project. we could set so many like these projects and all those trains can be built locally. this train must be attractive because the same company also supplied it to disney land, U.S.

lets cross our fingers and hope for many more projects like this will launch all over gujarat and which all are made from local companies and also same time will have same quality of work.

i hope after this project all kind of people will visit to kakaria not just specific people.

It’s a shame that now we had to import even rail track from china!!! and you guys are happy. How does a country become developed by importing, importing and importing? And all of you happy at this news, don’t you see what a huge debt (9 Trillion dollars) US itself has incurred by importing and running current account deficits.
This type of diesel engine could have been easily built by any Rajkot based oil engine makers or other engineering companies in Gujarat itself. It’s a shame we did not use our own money to help build manufacturing in our own country. Pity.

I think gujarat patel is right at some extent, because now a days the whole focus of development is toward west side around SG Highway..so they should develop some big amusement park like foreign countries in that area….that is good in traffic point of view as well…
