Is India’s new Parliament vision or vanity? AGK Menon on Central Vista Controversy | Shoma Chaudhury

#Vision. Or #Vanity? A new Parliament. A new Prime Minister’s House. A new Vice President’s Enclave. A new secretariat. A cost of Rs 20,000 crore and more.

The government is redesigning the heart of Indian democracy. The symbols of its power. Is this being done democratically? What is at stake in the #CentralVistaControvesy? Why is there such bitter debate over it?

Conservation architect AGK MENON lays out the problems of vision and process and how the Central Vista is bypassing democracy.
