Indrajit Hazra, Hindustan Times
Excerpt: Last month, under the expert watch of conservation architect Ratish Nanda of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture — whose astounding restorative work I first experienced when I visited the Babur Gardens near Kabul, where Humayun’s father is buried — the restored Humayan’s Tomb was unveiled to the public.
More than any books I’ve read or photos I’ve seen, it is being inside the precincts of the restored Humayun’s Tomb that makes me know for sure that history was always inhabited by flesh and blood people like you and me. And it comforts me that people like you and me — by the colour photos that we take on our phones and cameras as well as by being part of a landscape of steel and glass structures — will also be considered flesh and blood in the centuries to come.
