Abstract

Diese Veröffentlichung dokumentiert den illegalen Hausbau innerhalb und bei der historischen Grabungsstätte von Sisupalgarh. Dabei handelt es sich um die Überreste einer 2000 Jahre alten Festung, die zu den bedeutendsten historischen Überresten ihrer Art in Indien gehört. Der Erhalt dieser Anlage ist, wie die hier vorgelegte Dokumentation anschaulich zeigt, durch den illegalen Hausbau innerhalb und bei der Ausgrabungsstätte massiv bedroht.

Translation of abstract (English)

The publications documents the illegal building operations in or near the historic site of Sisupalgarh. The early historic fortress Sisupalgarh is the largest structure of its time in India and 2000 year old. The purpose of the appended photos and plan is to attract public attention to the fate of Sisupalgarh, a unique monument, which is being exploited illegally by developers, evidently conscious only of turning a fast profit at the cost of the public good.
