Presents a critical survey of the practices of archaeology, art history, and museums in nineteenth- and twentieth-century India. This book features essays that look at the processes of the production of lost pasts in modern India: pasts that come to be imagined around a growing corpus of monuments, archaeological relics, and art objects.
