AGKrishnamenon – ASI should imbibe the innovative spirit of the Humayun’s Tomb restoration project.
The inauguration of the restored Humayun’s Tomb, on September 18, attracted well-deserved media attention. Most of the facts about the unique collaboration between the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) and other stakeholders, which resulted in this extraordinary conservation project, are widely known. But there are some less celebrated issues which were addressed by the project. It is important to view the project in the broader context of conservation in India and the competence of the ASI.
