Guns n Cycle

This was shot at the Revdanda fort. Perhaps a reflection of the shocking apathy of the Government! During my numerous tours in Maharashtra I have discovered that the Government has paid scant attention to tourism - an industry which has the ability to provide jobs to thousands of people, bring in revenues and improve the profile of the state domestically and internationally. At various places we have found lack of signages on roads, people living inside monuments, gravel roads leading upto monuments, lack of basic amenities at tourist places (hotels, guides, restaurants), betel plants running over forts, broken structures, no history write-ups (sometimes even the locals were ignorant), et al! If one were to leave aside snow and desert, Maharashtra has everything else...but is unfortunately not on the tourist map!
