A museum celebrating the Mughals — otherwise, red-rag to Hindu nationalists — will be inaugurated next week. The Humayun’s Tomb World Heritage Site Museum in New Delhi has around 500 artefacts; many of them on long lease from the National Museum and the Delhi Fort Museum at Red Fort. And behind this giant effort is the Agha Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). ADVERTISEMENTArchana Saad Akhtar, who is programme director of the AKTC, explained why Humayun, the second Mughal emperor, is the protagonist of the story this museum tries to tell. Colourful Mughal era tiles, gathered by Persian scholar S. M. Yunus Jaffery have been donated by an anonymous benefactor.
