Archaeological Survey of India We are losing all of our #heritage buildings to this type of substandard renovation. In most countries, people go to see historical sites in all their magnificence. We must keep that in mind & take pride in our heritage buildings &do things more intently The Indian Express

They did the same “restoration” in other monuments in Delhi, leading to protests from their own officials But who cares

What the hell is wrong with Archaeological Survey of India? I'm sure they know that the Mehrauli structures predate the use of plaster. Restoration without authenticity means nothing.

Dear Archaeological Survey of India: Do you have among your staff in Delhi any historians, conservationists or even archaeologists? Or just under-qualified, mostly illiterate Babus, sanctioning idiotic projects to contractors who pay them hefty bribes?! This is criminal 👇🏼👇🏼

Full circle moment - 15 years ago, I arrived at LSE Gender as a Master’s student. Today I’ve joined as Assistant Professor in Gender, Development & Globalisation. Excited to continue my long association with LSE and to return to the discipline that feels like home 🎉

We are now in the ‘Hindus kill each other, looking for Muslims’ stage of whatever this is.

Would you call a group of Muslims, "vigilantes", if they assaulted, robbed, and killed people? Or, for that matter, even a group of Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Buddhists, or Jains? "Vigilantes" appear to be reserved for a particular group of terrorists.
