Museum of PMs should evoke pride & prompt good precedents

On the birth anniversary of B R Ambedkar last week a museum on Prime Ministers of independent India was inaugurated at the same Teen Murti premises where the first PM Jawaharlal Nehru lived. The government should be complimented for the idea to inspire the country men. It should however have entrusted the responsibility to an independent group of eminent personalities (instead of an incumbent PM taking up the task). Also that would have avoided impression that the idea is taken up now to deprive the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library which has become over the decades a valuable referral for contemporary history and a prestigious place to debate and deliberate issues of national significance.
