I have not been to India yet but i have read some about these sites by those Sri Lankans who visited. They mentioned certain places though conserved were not in a position to be worshipped by the devotees. May the Indian government pay its attention to this. Let me also wish "Long live India!!"

It need not preclude proper archaelogical care, or visits to the sites by non-Buddhists. It is simply important that these sites be also open for religious practice.
