One last example may serve in conclusion: it is the new capital of the Punjab, Chandigarh, which is being built upon a magnificent virgin plateau crowned by the spurs of the Himalayas. You will notice the presence of many different centres linked together by a ‘civic valley'.
Indians will like to promenade upon this great plateau planted with fine trees. In one part, a phenomenon of erosion has scraped away the earth and created a gorge five or six metres deep and varying in width from one hundred to two and three hundred meters. Six metres below ground is enough to create an atmosphere of solitude and complete isolation. No automobile will disturb this rural valley.
インド人は、きれいな木々が植えられたこの大きな台地を散歩するのが好きだ。ある部分に、浸食現象が地球をこそぎ取り、深さ5、6メートル、100から2、300メートルまでの幅の異なる谷間をつくった。地下6メートルとなると、十分に孤独と完全な隔離の雰囲気がつくり出される。自動車がこの地方の静かな谷をかき乱すことはない。
