The long answer‚ since everything has both long and short answers these days‚ is the Museum tries to be as tolerant as it can‚ but as my guide commented "humanity is simply incapable of not being prejudiced."

Pillars of ashoka The pillars of Ashoka are a series of columns dispersed throughout the northern Indian subcontinent‚ erected or at least inscribed with edicts by the Mauryan king Ashoka during his reign in the 3rd century BC.
