Nithin Kamath (co-founder of Zerodha) recently visited Kolkata, where he explored the Victoria Memorial and the Indian Museum, sparking a debate on India's museum culture. In a post on social media platform X, he described Kolkata as “easily the best museum city in India,” highlighting the architectural beauty of the Victoria Memorial, which was envisioned by Lord Curzon after Queen Victoria's death in 1901 and opened in 1921. While praising the visual appeal of these cultural institutions, Kamath acknowledged the complex colonial legacy associated with them, noting that they were built using Indian resources. He expressed concern over the lack of a deeply ingrained museum-going culture in India, attributing this to historical factors, including the colonial past. His remarks resonated with many on social media, prompting a mix of supportive and critical responses. Users shared their experiences and opinions, emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with India's rich history through its museums. The Indian Museum, one of the oldest and largest in the country, was particularly noted for its vast collection, suggesting that even a full day might not suffice to explore it fully.
