This book traces the impact of archaeological discoveries in colonial India on the reconstruction of India’s Buddhist past and on the making of a public discourse around it. It also discusses the legacy of Buddhism in the post-independence period, particularly the use of Buddhist symbols in nation-building and constitution-making.
