Varanasi Loses Its Character, Says Kashinath Singh

Varanasi Loses Its Character, Says Kashinath Singh

Kashinath Singh, a famous Hindi writer, has lived in Varanasi for many years.

He loves the city and has written about it in his books.

But he is sad because Varanasi is changing.

When he was young, the city was quiet and peaceful.

People came to learn and experience its culture.

Now, there are many cars, multiplexes, and tourists.

The ghats, which were once peaceful, are now crowded.

Singh misses the old Varanasi with its unique streets and traditions.

He feels the city is losing its special character and becoming like any other big city.
