How to read an exhibit
The roof is the promise. The columns are the record. The gap between them is the exhibit.
- Promise
What was said, by whom, and when, in their own words where we can.
- Record
What the public record shows: official data first, court findings next.
- Reply
The government’s defence, stated fairly and in its own terms.
- Status
Where the matter stands today: open, closed, in court, moved.
- Sources
Every line links to a document you can check for yourself.
Floor plan
Six galleries and a memorial room
The colonnade
Twelve columns under one roof
Each column rises as far as the record reached toward its own promise. Six promises can be measured. For the other six the record is missing, withheld, or still in court, so their columns are drawn in outline.
- Solid: the share of a measurable promise the record shows
- Outline: the record is missing or contested
- Dashed line: the promise, at full height
स्मृति कक्ष · Memorial room
Some failures are counted in lives
This room is kept dark and silent. Sound switches off as you enter. Nothing here moves. Each wall leads out to its exhibit, and can be shared so the count is not forgotten.
Method
House rules
Every exhibit gets a reply
The government’s defence sits on the same placard as the charge, at the same size, in the same voice.
Primary sources first
Budget speeches, RBI reports, court judgments and answers in Parliament come before news reports. Overviews are listed last.
Numbers carry their date
A figure without a date is a rumour. Where an official toll was revised, the exhibit says so.
No games in the memorial
No scores, collectibles or achievements anywhere, and no music or motion in the memorial room.
