India: Video shows vandals wrecking Hampi’s UNESCO world heritage site


Three Indian natives were caught on video in India as authorities hunt down the vandals seen toppling over ancient temple pillars in a viral video.
 The video circulating on social media shows three men deliberately pushing over the centuries-old pillars at Vishnu Temple in the ancient village of Hampi, a UNESCO world heritage site that came second on The New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2019” list released just days ago. In the video, the trio can be seen shoving a pillar over before it crashes to the ground, joining other pillars that met a similar fate.

The Indians are not even monitoring this world-class heritage site enough to be able to say when this act took place, beyond saying it's 'in the last two years'. With such incompetence displayed, it seems Indian heritage objects are safer in Western collections.
