On April 18, World Heritage Day, the overlooked heritage of Gurugram was highlighted, revealing a city rich in history yet largely unnoticed. The Deputy Commissioner's residence and colonial-era John Hall exemplify structures that blend into daily life, lacking protection or public acknowledgment. A report by the Raahgiri Foundation points out that Gurugram's heritage is at risk not from demolition, but from invisibility, with many historical sites like baolis and Mughal gateways remaining undocumented and unprotected. Manas Human, CEO of Nagarro, stressed that these neglected sites embody memory and identity, warning that failure to protect them could erase vital chapters of history. While restoration efforts are gaining momentum across Haryana, particularly in Narnaul, Gurugram's initiatives are still nascent, lacking a comprehensive inventory and clear timelines. Former Haryana Tourism principal secretary Kala Ramachandran has been instrumental in promoting authentic restoration projects, yet follow-up data remains scarce. Although some local communities are beginning to engage with heritage, a consolidated platform for these efforts is lacking, highlighting the need for greater visibility and accountability in preserving Gurugram's historical narrative.
