thats how everything is. Super old stuff still standing while the new stuff is already falling over. Stuff nowadays isnt built to last. it's built to be easily replaced
Those stairs were built by craftsmen, not slaves. During that time in India, slaves were mainly used as servants and debt bondage for which they would do things that didn't require craftsmanship knowledge, like tilling the fields. Also, the vast majority of slaves belonged to Muslims in the area, not Hindus. The ruler that this was built under was Hindu.
It's kind of like the Pyramids. The Pyramids weren't built by slaves either, but all those craftsmen needed food, which is where the slave labor came in.
Did the people who made this post ever think about how much more people there are in one place than the other and the fact that the ancient stairs never had to deal with motor vehicles or any form of mass movement
modern stairs shouldn't have to deal with motor vehicles either. If you are driving your car up stairs you done fucked up and are probably going to jail. Also ancient stairs have to deal with mass movement. People still use them today en mass just as any other stairs. They aren't some cultural heritage stairs they are stairs that are in use that happen to be super old.
They are the same staircase, the old stairs and new have the same traffic today, but the upper stairs just have several centuries more traffic on top of that
