My point is that the 'moderns' under the guise of liberalism are selectively attacking Hindu art and icons. Most of his supporters are JNU ilk..

thanks for clarifying ramana. understand now that you did not mean what I earlier misunderstood. I was slightly confused by the below quoted beginning of your previous post, since I didn't see any connection of 'modernism' and selectively vulgar portrayal of Hindu deities.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>This topic should go into the India and Modernism thread</b>. Ravi Verma's paintings are like the paintings of 18th century artists while MFH's are like scrawls of the Western modern painters. These are similar to caveman scrawls.

<b>So Indian art also has travelled the path from form to formless that Western European art has traverssed.</b> <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Thanks for posting the above op-ed.
