Look carefully at these pictures (see textbook) of places and animals that are considered sacred. The Yamuna in the north, the Mahanadi in the east or the Kaveri in the south are all sacred rivers. How come they have become so polluted? Are there sacred places in your locality or region that have been similarly polluted or degraded by human activity? Whose responsibility is it to preserve the sanctity of our sacred places? Discuss in class.
Answer:
The pollution of sacred rivers like the Yamuna, Mahanadi, and Kaveri highlights the impact of human activity on our environment. These rivers, considered sacred, have become polluted due to sewage and industrial waste, plastic, puja materials, washing of clothes, vehicles, increase of population and neglect.
Yes. Preserving the sanctity of these places is a shared responsibility. It involves individuals, communities, and governments working together to protect and restore these sacred sites.
