It's not for us. It's for the persons coming ahead to dig out the history and for the coming generations to remember achievements of the society by a person and to learn something from his/her character. To Motivate Society. But expenditure these days is going verymuch on these for some personal reasons and motives. which is radiculus.

Thanks for the comment...but don't you think there is something cheaper like in a history book or a book about the person....

That's what I think as well. Sometimes people just have no brains.
