‘There is no institution in modern India where Indian youths can get proper training, either theoretical or practical, in the complex subject of Indian architecture. The very descendants of traditional architects and craftsmen, not to speak of the civil engineers trained in modern engineering institutions, owing to their deplorable ignorance of the history and spirit of Indian architecture due to lack of proper education, have failed to develop their indigenous architecture and have introduced ugly and hybrid styles, unfaithful to Indian traditions.’
