Hoysala Temple style architect from Cardiff University

Why is that none of the Indian universities have the required resource to do this? Do we have our Universities to teach these temple architecture? If yes, then why have we brought a someone from Cardiff University? If no, why and when are we going to have our universities to do these works?
My biggest worry is not who is doing it, for it does not matter whether Indian does it or a foreigner does it…But because we know that an education purposely given to India to degrade its rich heritage, culture and wisdom will NEVER do justice in doing the work. This is because they lack the qualification, they have got only some influence and will NEVER match the Indian qualification which should have been transferred in its pure sense, even if we may not have it now, we must make all arrangements to do such transfer from father to son, the hereditary way to transfer knowledge on these architecture.
Having educated us to abandone our rich heritage, culture and wisdom and educated to look upon English education great...These English have embraced our Rich heritage, culture and wisdom in their Universities...They always had a double standard and few of us here only knows it, sadly.
The temple, designed in the striking Hoysala style, will come up on seven acres of land here, funded by donations.
The structure shuns modern-day cement. Floated by a public trust, it promises to be bigger than the Belur Chennakeshava temple. Leading the team is architect Adam Hardy, Professor of Asian Architecture at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University.

Am at loss of words as how to explain how our education on one hand does not glorify our rich heritage, culture and wisdom and invite English education on one hand and on the other hand the very English through another channel TRY to learn our rich heritage, culture and wisdom. God only knows whether they really want to learn with sincerity or under the guise of learning they introduce again some new things which may again damage our rich heritage, culture and wisdom. Wonder if such things happen whether we are in position to understand what has really happened...
For few months back some foreigners were invited to inspect many temples in Tamil Nadu including under the cover of seeing whether the renovation work is damaging the temple architecture...
A team from UNESCO, which has set out on a fact-finding mission to ascertain the state of renovations and other aspects in temples across the State, inspected the Srirangam Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple on Monday.

What a shame to the descendants of people who built these great granite temples...We have fallen to such an extent to seek foreigners advice/service in our temple buildings and architecture and maintenance...And what is our Education's goal?
மனசில் தோன்றியதை எழுதினோம் என்று ஒரு திருப்தியை தவிர வேறு என்ன செய்ய முடியும்? தெரியவில்லை....மக்கள் இவற்றை(வெள்ளைக்காரனின் சூழிச்சியை) புரியவில்லை என்றால் நம்மையும் எழுதிய வரிகளையும் புரிந்து கொள்ள மாட்டார்கள்.
பாரதியின் வரிகளில் என்னை மறந்து இருக்க முயலுகிறேன்...
பழமை பழமை யென்று பாவனை பேச லன்றிப் பழமை இருந்த நிலை!-கிளியே! பாமர ரேதறி வார்!
நாட்டில் அவ மதிப்பும் நாணின்றி இழி செல்வத் தேட்டில் விரப்புங் கொண்டே!-கிளியே! சிறுமை யடைவா ரடீ!
