Please help make the Manifesto better, or accept it, and propagate it!

I can't imagine many greater insults to the great Maratha's name than to
associate it with *THE MOST* Gothic of structures in the probably the entire
country. We should demolish these shameful reminders of colonial
oppression! In their place we must build new museums and new rail terminii
in harmony with our ancient and cosmic vastu shastra.
Gargoyles are *not* a part of our cosmic and ancient architectural
tradition.
