Why do people deface their own history?

Deep in rural Sindh, Pakistan, stands the massive Kot Diji Fort. It is a stunning, lesser known piece of architecture that towers over the surrounding date palm plantations and farmland. Yet, as you explore the walls of this ancient royal guest room, the beauty is marred by careless graffiti scratched into the stone. It is a sobering reminder that protecting these sites is not just about government preservation. It requires respect from everyone who visits. Beyond the vandalism, the fort offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Walking through the royal guest house, you can still spot intricate details like stone fireplaces designed to keep residents warm during harsh winters. It is a place that deserves to be admired, not altered.
