Thank you to my friends Pujan Thakkar and Sahabaj Khan for accompanying me to the Vikramshol rock inscriptions. During our trip, we found this relic of ancient India lying unmonitored, open to all, left exposed to damage and degradation. I urge the government of India and Odisha to protect this important piece of India's history.
