Dutch cemetery

Khawaja Dana Saheb’s Rouza is one of Surat's 4 heritage properties managed by the Archeological Survey of India.
Over the last weekend, it celebrated 484th year of establishment.
The attached newspaper cutting lets us some basic details of the famed structure.

While Archeological Survey of India has come out with a very productive scheme of ADOPT A HERITAGE that could actually make some difference, the media is bent on damaging it just for the sake of it. Look at this use of unnecessary and sensational word like , લીલામ (auction), which actually is adoption and accountability.
Shame on such media personnel and media houses that don't do enough research and print anything just to grab attention. They are spreading ill-will and negativity in the common man.

We came across this article in Gujaratmitra yesterday - about the recently restored fort is not getting too much attention it seems! Though the tone of the article wasn't too positive, I thought we will crowd-think over this!

We thought of putting this up to our followers and interested people to suggest ways to increase awareness and engagement of people in this newly restored awesome heritage site. Please put your comments here, or DM us 🙂🤗

The remarkable structures of the Dutch cemetery were the point of discussion today morning when reps from Dharohar - Foundation for Heritage Conservation & Promotion and Archaeological Survey of India interacted with the people around there.
An excellent exchange of ideas, issues and possible solutions that will give way to many more to come..

A glimpse of restored Surat fort that is now open to public..

Today a part of restored Surat fort was inaugurated by Dy CM Nitinbhai Patel and is now open for public to visit.
It's an outstanding job done by Architect Sumesh Modi and his company People for Heritage Concern
