This implies that there is no responsible body to oversee the facts behind the probable candidates for the 7 wonders, which should makes us to think whether it is justified in supporting the case.<BR/> * Taj Mahal - There are still controversies out there if Taj Mahal was really built by Shah Jahan or not. The facts have not been allowed to see the light. At this time do we want to vote for "Taj - Built by Shah Jahan" and fudge the facts? Atleast if you don't accept that Taj is a shiv temple, please don't blindly support that it is built by Shah Jahan and vote for it. You have not heard the other side of the story yet.<BR/> * Statue of Liberty - This one is going to be funny. American national monument, is a gift from the french; the model called upon was of American industrialist's widow Isabella Boyer and face believed to be Frederic Auguste's Mother. How creative is that? I doubt if this statue is any bigger than our Budha in Hussain Sagar. Big wonder?<BR/> * Egypt did not participate in this contest because the pyramids are beyond judgement for any private competition like this and weber's self promotion.<BR/> * No one in china watched these seven wonders because it wasn't broadcasted at all. This is the kind of support and backing the new 7 wonders contest (should it be a contest?) has.<BR/><BR/>There are many more points like this that one should think about before acting.<BR/><BR/>My only request: In this internet information junk world, it becomes more necessary to dig into the facts and act responsibly. If we donot have time to think about it atleast do not promote (by forwarding) without verifying. Our kids should not base their life on false information.<BR/><BR/>Truth is a pathless land, you have to make your own path.<BR/><BR/>Lets share our thoughts with fellow citizens and make this world one nation built on 'truth'.<BR/><BR/>Thank youPavan Ashwinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397097442137040272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313271154229291912.post-75540887369559525752007-07-06T23:14:00.000+05:302007-07-06T23:14:00.000+05:30I did that.I did that.Naveenkanth JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455304693378131143noreply@blogger.com
