By John Forbes Watson

In "On the Measures Required for the Efficient Working of the India Museum and Library," John Forbes Watson proposes enhancements to the India Museum and Library in London. Published in 1874, this work suggests establishing an Indian Institute alongside the museum and library to foster inquiry, lectures, and teaching related to India. Watson's recommendations aim to improve the museum's functionality and broaden its educational impact, emphasizing the importance of preserving and promoting Indian culture and knowledge within the British Empire. This document offers insights into the administration and cultural representation of India during the late 19th century and provides a valuable resource for understanding the historical relationship between Britain and India.
