But take a look at how Pakistan has preserved the Sikh King's tomb in Lahore... https://lahorenama.wordpress.com/2014/11/23/sikh-maharaja-sher-singhs-baradari-in-pity-condition/ Quote This is a three year old report from the Sikh Sangat News being posted in Lahore Nama as very little difference has been made since then. Sher Singh Baradari is being ruined like many other Sikh era relics. Lahore, Pakistan: Proposed conservation plan of Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) to preserve an important historical monument of 19th century Baradari of Sher Singh is in doldrums due to lack of funds and the existing structure can collapse any time, TheNation has learnt. The sources said that the Archeology Department had prepared a feasibility report for the conservation and renovation of the Baradari’s structure on the request of PHA about three months back with the estimated amount of Rs 22 million. They further said that PHA also allocated Rs 32 million for the preservation of historical monument and also adjacent garden but despite lapse of three moths, the department could not manage the amount. The monument, which is surviving with skeleton, was declared protected under Antiquity Act 1975 but not a single plan had been carried out to preserve it. It may be mentioned here that the monument was badly damaged and set on fire by an angry mob in 1992 in retaliation to the demolition of the Babri Mosque in India and at that time the people had taken its precious wooden doors, as informed by the locals. We should still preserve Jinnah house, not because of Pakistan asking us to do so, but because History is very valuable for posterity's sake. We should respect the millions of lives lost because one mad-man wanted to become a PM, and was responsible for all the deaths he caused. His own daughter didn't want to go to Pakistan and he died with in year of creating an Islamic hell-hole. sandeep 1

I think India should put some gruesome images of people suffering in partition (trains filled up with dead bodies, etc) in the Jinnah house, to remind people that he was responsible for their deaths. Convert it into a Holocaust museum of sorts. Muloghonto and beetle 2
