No date with history

It was not a usual choice of place or monument for taking the visiting dignitaries to in the national capital. But the spouses of the African leaders were shown around the Akshardham temple during the just-concluded India-Africa Forum Summit, not to the historical or heritage monuments and sites. It was also an irony that the Indian envoy to Unesco, Ruchira Kamboj, was the person who was taking these guests around. Giving a religious feel.
