India in the World Postcard from India 3
How has Indian history been influenced by and in turn influenced civilizations around the globe? The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) museum in Mumbai, India, is working with the British Museum on a sweeping exhibition called "India in the World"\xa0that aims to address this question. Sabayaschi Mukherjee, director general of the CSMVS, and Neil MacGregor, former director of the British Museum and advisor to the exhibition, discuss this seminal project.\n\nLast spring Jim Cuno travelled to India to meet with partners on a number of Getty-funded initiatives.\xa0He also spoke at the Jaipur Literature Festival, the world\u2019s largest free literary event that draws over 250,000 attendees to hear author talks and musical performances. This episode is one of three \u201cPostcards from India\u201d Jim made during his trip.
