Demolition, lies, nepotism and impunityA fine arts official is assembling debris that used to decorate the gable of ancient Bombay Burmah house that was torn down in a restoration project. Although there was no public consultation, the old house indeed needed a facelift. The demolition of the Bombay Burmah House and the culture of impunity should not come as a surprise. We saw the same games of lies, nepotism and impunity during the Bombay Burmah controversy. This is not only about conserving an old, historical house.
