Architect Mansi Mathur explores the enduring relationship between architecture and politics in India. From colonial buildings that asserted British authority to Chandigarh's modernist vision of a newly independent nation, the built environment has long reflected changing ideas of power, identity, and nationhood. Today, temples, bridges, and public spaces continue to shape debates around development, heritage, and belonging, revealing how architecture remains deeply intertwined with political and social life.
