It pains my heart that these gothic architects created great structures and now unsustainable building maps are passed by bureaucrats and have made Shimla a concrete jungle. No building bye laws followed, no permissions to construct taken, no land surveys done prior to construction. Architects are a joke in Shimla. But nature has signalled again again to stop this non sense. A lesson there for all of us. There is still time to sit back and rethink where we are headed while we choke the resources and the beautiful city. It’s not a single person it’s in all of us as dwellers of the city to recalibrate.
Shimla should've remained a hill station while SunderNagar (geographically flat and central in location with no water scarcity) should've been made the capital of Himachal Pradesh.
It boils my blood watching the then British masters partying in our soil at the expense of the blood and sweat of our ancestors. Had the Marathas been as clever and competent as Clive, we wouldn't have to suffer the tragedy of British rule. I won't blame the Mughals as they were a small kingdom confined to Delhi in 1857. Atleast the British rule was better than Moghul anti-hindu rule.

Hmm thik bolya ya ta dharamshala side bnayi skde the
Crazy how these places still have the reflection of how they looked during the british raj.
The British were architectural genuis undoubtedly elegant buildings.
Aur hamne shimla ko slum bana daalla

Britishers constructed and tutelaged it so perfectly but what we Indians did to Shimla and many other hilly towns shameful
Quite ruined now
