Stacked end to end, all the shelves at the National Archives of India
(NAI) would stretch up to 45km. That is almost the length of Delhi.
Luckily for us though, India’s rich historical heritage is not strewn
across the Capital’s dusty Ring Road but stored in climate-controlled
rooms within the monolith structure that is the National Archives of
India. Built by Edwin Lutyens, for the express purpose of preserving
Imperial India’s heritage, the erstwhile Imperial Records Department,
rechristened the National Archives of India after Independence,
continues to be a permanent home for the subcontinent’s past. As its
website states, the ‘NAI is the repository of non-current records of the
Government of India and holds them in trust for the use of
administrators and scholars’.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
