The challenge of heritage
Nick James (University of Cambridge, UK)
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) describes its mission as research, protection and regulation. It also maintains museums and a programme of presenting monuments and publication. Research, management and presentation complement each other but the respective implications of these functions diverge somewhat. Contemporary social and cultural developments in India expose the divergence between research and presentation more clearly than before.
