v6.c41.s25.287
Insufficient and inaccurate knowledge, and an unjustifiable prejudice against everything English, appear to be at the root of the following quotation from the ‘Prospectus of the first All-India Exhibition of Indian Architecture,’ held in the Senate House of the University of Calcutta. ‘By modern Indian architecture is meant the development of old Indian styles of architecture,’ which is elucidated by expressly excluding all structures built after the British pattern by saying, ‘that existed in India before the termination of the Mogul rule, but adopted to suit modern Indian requirements, viz., sanitation, economy, utility, etc.’
