520 _aThis volume brings together a range of essays that offer a new perspective on the dynamic history of the museum as a cultural institution in South Asia. It traces the museum from its origin as a tool of colonialism and adoption as a vehicle of sovereignty in the nationalist period, till its role in the present, as it reflects the fissured identities of the post-colonial period. https://www.routledge.com/No-Touching-No-Spitting-No-Praying-The-Museum-in-South-Asia/Mathur-Singh/p/book/9780815373247#
