After 35 years of research, have authored a 300 pages Coffee Table Book on 'The Great life of Buddha' with very high res 3D photographs with historical narrations. The subjects are as old as 2578 years or even more. In fact, time frame wise, after Lord Sri Krishna (5000 years), Lord Buddha was brought up at Kapilavastu (Uttar Pradesh) in 563 BC. And this book has all the depictions from then till today. I want to show you the Book so that GOI can portray this Book to entire Buddhist World.

One should allow movie / TV access to the suitable places to shoot and then use the footage to market the places. For Example, couple of movies have been shot at Daulatabad Fort near Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The ministry can give benefits / permissions to shoot at location in exchange of positive tourism case in point being the Hobbit / Lord of Rings franchise used by Tourism New Zealand to market their country.

Well planned attack of vested interests to divide Indian majority by giving casts, dalit or religious colour needs to be halted by media management.Students need to be saved from the Intolerance masquerades.Each murder or suicide gets religious overtone? Dog word gets linked without ref to context. Law should take its course for people spreading divisive propaganda.

Media should be restricted to show/print/broadcast negative news. Today media is one of the main cause from where society takes it view. Be it social media, News, Advertisements, etc... Please put some restriction on Media channels, especially on news channels to stop showing wrong information to increase their TRP Make them accountable for all the things shown on TV and if anything is incorrect they should pay fine or after 3 warnings channel will be closed.

One of the features of Indian culture is 'Unity in Diversity ' . Unfortunately media is promoting the differences by highlighting caste or region of the group of the persons having conflict. Ex : a fight between 2 neighbors takes a communal shape if media highlights is as a Savarn - Dalit or Rajput - harijan fight (which actually it is not ) . Therefore Gov thru various other bodies must approach Court to get the orders against such kind of reporting which may create rift/hostility .

At Mysore Palace, there was this small portable device with headphones that provided details of specific artifacts in the language of foreigners. I would suggest that this device should be made more common to all monuments, it'd be very helpful for foreign tourists. Also, it'd be a step towards Digital India.

When announcing Heritage sites to improve Tourism, please announce them in chronological order. Don't go by psuedo secularism. Velankanni of Tamil nadu which is really a Hindu temple, now in christian custody, like Ram temple of Ayodhya, is announced as a Heritage site. It should be withdrawn. When there are lot of other places like Kanyakumari, Rameswaram, Tanjore, Mahabalipuram..., it is injustice to announce Velankanni as a heritage site.
